Did they really give Andersson an assist on that first goal? It was a turnover to Schneider. Andersson was in on forecheck but that's not an assist. Legit on the 3rd goal tho.

IIRC the puck deflected off Andersson which is why it shot straight into the middle of the ice. The resolution is way better on the live feeds.

It'll be the most fun when you spend 6 hours tracking a game, post a chart summarizing it, and someone tells you you're an idiot :)

Really makes it all worth it, in the end.

Depends on where it's coming from. In certain situations could be viewed as a compliment.

When you watch the game to track the game, but people tell you to watch the game. Emphasizes WATCH

Legitimate question from someone who has never tracked a game in any capacity: when you're watching a game with a primary focus on doing things like tracking shots for the purposes of Corsi, or whatever else you might be tracking, do you feel that you can pay attention to the game in a traditional sense? Like, do you think you can chart things and also pay attention to the qualitative performances of the guys out there, and notice the nuanced plays that often go missed even when people are just regularly watching the game?

To me, that seems like it would be really hard to do. Again, I'm not trying to start shit, I'm just legitimately curious how that works.

Everything in this post is obviously my opinion, but I feel, when you're manually tracking a game like that, I truly believe you notice so much more than you would just watching the game without tracking anything. So for the NWHL, I manually tracked a few games with focus on faceoff deployment, shot attempt counting, penalties drawn/taken.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd say more often than not, I can't name all 10 skaters on the ice. If you (read: anyone) can do it, God bless. I can sometimes, not all the time. So when a shot attempt gets taken, and I want to know who is on the ice for it, who the shot assister was, all those details, I have to pause the game, and look for instances where I can spot all 10 skaters. It involves using the 'back ten seconds' button a lot. When you're doing that, you're watching the same play develop over and over again. You're intentionally taking note of which player did what, so you know that they're on the ice. And essentially, you're going to end up watching the full game 2 or 3 times just going back over everything and keeping track.

It's a truly humbling experience. I always thought my 'eye-test' was great until I decided to try tracking.

Well, that definitely answers my question, and it makes sense, so thank you.

I have to say, that sounds like a f***ing terrible way to watch a game, though. :laugh: Not making fun of you, JMO. I can't imagine doing that.

Yeah it's a major commitment. Each game took me about 6 hours. I'm assuming as time goes on, you get better, and it goes quicker. And I'm sure there are ways to speed things up, but that's the way I did it.

It's why I always laugh at the 'watch the game' crowd. Believe me, games are being watched.

When I lived in NY I used to go to Whale games a few times a season (cheaper, I was in college)...

Every year at Xmas I have since caught my one NYR game at the Garden when I'm in town for the holidays... this may be the first year I head back to the mall instead of Penn Plaza lol
