First Round Corsi Percentages by Score

by Hawerchuk on Apr 30, 2010 9:00 AM EDT

Winners to the left of me...Losers to the right...

	C%	C%	C%		C%	C%	C%
Winner	-1	0	1	Loser	-1	0	1
Sj	71.1	64.0	54.7	Col	45.3	36.0	28.9
Pit	60.0	58.0	44.2	Ott	55.8	42.0	40.0
Van	53.3	56.4	59.7	Lak	40.3	43.6	46.7
Det	52.7	55.9	56.1	Phx	43.9	44.1	47.3
Bos	55.9	55.5	51.6	Buf	48.4	44.5	44.1
Chi	44.9	50.6	54.7	Nsh	45.3	49.4	55.1
Phi	50.7	49.4	38.3	Njd	61.7	50.6	49.3
Mon	62.5	46.5	36.7	Wsh	63.3	53.5	37.5

This includes all shots - even-strength or otherwise. I hope this puts the playoffs thus far into perspective: the Canadiens had the worst territorial control of all the winners, 11th out of 16. But Colorado was dead last by a large margin.

Am I the only one who find the Chicago/Nashville numbers surprising given the regular season? I suspect Brian Campbell is more important than the “ha ha he sucks on defense” crowd would make him out to be.

Hmm, I don’t know, but except from the first 11 games, the Predators were a pretty good team during regular season, it seems.

Campbell had the best Corsi and Relative Corsi on the Hawks’ blueline. EV Shots per 60 with him out there were +30.9 / -19.2.

Campbell’s contract sucks, but he doesn’t.

Incredible how often those two get blurred into one. (And I’m certain I’m sometimes guilty of it myself.)

Well, he is at best the #3 D for the Hawks, right? And he makes Scotty Bowman cry.

How are Scotty’s tears quantified? ;)

I’m thinking more along the lines of, “It still hurts when your #3-#4 d-man gets hurt, regardless of his godawful contract.”

Worth considering that he did that against air.

…not that I’m implying that he does actually suck, or something. Just that his Corsi is probably too kind to him.

Campbell’s zone start is also a second easiest on the team 58.4%.

You're not alone

I was surprised at how even the play was in that series.

Props to Nashville.

Well, that’s a pretty sound beating the Pens laid on the Senators, uh?

The shortest series was actually won by the team with the second worst Corsi.

Yes, because Brian Boucher is a clutch goalie!

And Martin Brodeur isn’t!

Come on… anybody who watched 60 minutes of Olympic hockey knows that.

I’m still relatively new to Corsi ratings, so maybe this is a stupid question, but are these stats just for one-goal leads and deficits, or are “-1” and “+1” shorthand for leads and deficits of any size?
