crap forgot about Klefbom on LTIR...sorry you are right.
By now many know I am the Person who created:
High danger Sh area theory (called Rickisbox on Lowetide) (Homeplate by MSM). This theory was a observation of Clarke, leach, Stoughtons Flin Flon Bombers as a 4-5 yr okd High function Autistic.
And
Open/closed shot theory: From Ron Gunville’s (Player Personel Director Of WHL Champ PA Raiders) Table Hockey goalie movement playing road hockey as kids.
Shots hit him In the body it was like hitting a board or wall.
Proved their are shots that have 0% chance of going in.
These 2 45+ yr old observations are the basis for all proper goal differential hockey analytics.
I created 50+ theories from it including my Champ roster theory (26 yrs of repeat Final 4 Roster Structure)
VGK selected 100% of players in exp that fit my champ roster core theory list making it the only pro sports Championship proof.
Measure Orgs is About Championships: 2 chanmpionship orgs.
29 losing orgs each yr.
One org wins the most important game of the yr.
The last gm.
Everyone concentrates on offence. The part of hockey easy to visually understand.
Offence does not drive championships.
LAK won a Cup as the #28 Reg ssn goal team.
Dal won a Conf Championship this yr as #29 reg ssn goal team.
Defence ( prevention of GA) wins championships.
Most final 4 series winning teams give up 4g (1.00gaa) to 8G (2.00gaa) in the 4 series win gm.
Being an elite GA team in playoffs Requires
A top 10 Open shot (only scoreable)
4+ top 60 high danger open shot reduction Dmen
elite PK fwd and Dmen.
(Getting + ve goal differential in pp is 5.42 times easier than Getting +ve goal differential on PK.)
PK has all the Special teams value cause you do not win Conf + Cups giving up more than 2ga in 4 games.
Top PK forwards and Dmen have huge championship value.
Of top 155 (5 x 31 tm) PKmin fwds
Khaira #13 PK Fwd.
A very important part of Conf & Cup championships.
More valueable than PP QB play.
