Advanced Hockey Stats Discussion

[Robin Hood]

advanced stats are nice for adding details and follow-up evidence.

Watching Shea Weber I think he's frigging amazing and in another league from most dmen. In that I believe many dman in the same circumstance as him would fail on my fronts, whether it be the point production, shot generation, defensive play, durability or physical play - there are very few dman IMO who do every in sumation as well as he does, anywhere near as consistently. Now he's rarely watched and has a much smaller fan base than other elite dmen (OEL only other super-small, southern american market elite-ish dman) we all see what Subban, Suter, PieT do - perhaps not an entire game scrutiny like we put Karlsson/Dion/ Letang/Daughty through, - but by mass accumulation of top 15 in points, reputation, some small sample of watching actual game, highlights and advanced stat metrics (qualcomp, PDO, corsi adjusted) my belief that he's the best in NHL is strengthened.

Also reminds me of the intense scrutiny we put all dmen through - to be called the best you first must be #1 or #2 in scoring, be in major fan base, and be exciting - it's about the story not about the actual defensive play. Easily the first trophy (Norris) that I started to ignore (and before Weber was skipped). I wouldn't let Corsi tell me that, confirming or denying.

Lol Corsi strongly confirms that Shea is one of the best d-men in the league. And in fact, it ranks guys like Subban and Letang lower.
