Scoring chances: Game 82, New York Islanders at Philadelphia Flyers

The Flyers started the first period scoring two goals on two chances. A Flyers powerplay then killed any momentum they had, and the Islanders scored on a Michael Grabner breakaway and a 5v3 goal from Travis Hamonic. Danny Briere would score to put the Flyers ahead 3-2, only for Tavares to even it up just over two minutes later. After 12:05 played, there had been nine scoring chances and six goals. The first period ended with two more chances for each team, but no additional goals.

The Islanders got a power play early in the second period and were able to convert through P. A Parenteau. With 12:16 remaining in the second period, and the teams skating 4v4, the Flyers recorded the next seven chances with Andrej Meszaros scoring to tie the game again. The Islanders rallyed and generated the next five chances, but went unrewarded. Scott Hartnell would score with 1:32 remaining to put the Flyers ahead.

The third period was fairly even, with teams trading chances and the Flyers scoring again through Meszaros. John Tavares tried to get his 30th goal of the season (thanks for letting me know 50 times, MSG announcers), but was unsuccessful.

The final chances were 25-20 in favour of the Flyers, with a 17-11 advantage at even strength. The powerplay had six total chances, and the the penalty kill final differential was 2-9.

What is a scoring chance?  A scoring chance is defined as a clear play directed toward the opposing net from a dangerous scoring area -- loosely defined as the top of the circle in and inside the faceoff dots, though sometimes slightly more generous than that depending on the amount of immediately-preceding puck movement or screens in front of the net. 

Blocked shots are generally not included but missed shots are. A player is awarded a scoring chance anytime he is on the ice and someone from either team has a chance to score. He is awarded a "chance for" if someone on his team has a chance to score and a "chance against" if the opposing team has a chance to score.

Thanks to Vic Ferrari's script for allowing this to happen.

You aren’t even interested in scoring chances? Something that comes directly from watching the game?

No that is interesting, but I have a pretty short attention span. I should look these over but I am not sure how he establishes them, from the box scores or from watching? Plus since he is down under it isn’t backwards is it?

I watch the game, and every time an unblocked shot is taken from within the scoring chance zone I record the time remaining and who shot it. At the end of the game a script compiles all the information from the game records. The H2H matrix is made by Excel wizardry.

Is it an information overload with all the charts, or do you just not care?

Actually I am pledging to read this but I have to start paying more attention to the chances as they happen. Since coming to this site and trying to be witty in the game threads I have missed a hell of a lot of hockey.

I try my best to recount the events of the first chart in the text at the start of the story, so you can probably ignore that for now.

The next table is interesting as it shows how individual players did under all circumstances, and the head to head chart show the scoring chance differential between players at even strength. I’m really looking forward to compiling this data over a playoff series.

The final table just summarises all the chances under different circumstances.

It’s all just raw data at the moment, as I get a chance to play around with it I will hopefully be able to produce some results that are more meaningful over the long run.

In your bullets at the end we’re talking only ES, right? Guess it’s not really fair to the PK guys to count SH against them.

Yeah I stick to even strength only, for simplicity.
