I didn't originally mean for this to be a 10-part series; it just turned out that way. In an effort to highlight some of the most significant advanced statistics in hockey, I've put together a series of answers to frequently asked questions. Like any list of so-called "important" things, it's highly biased! I've tried to highlight interest pieces people have written on these topics, but there's no doubt I've left out many salient points.
Without further ado, here's the list:
Part 1 - Plus/Minus statistics
Part 2 - Quality of Competition
Part 3 - Corsi Number
Part 4 - Zone Starts (or Offensive/Defensive Zone Faceoff Ratio)
Part 5 - Penalty +/-
Part 6 - Shot Distance
Part 7 - Goals and Points per 60 Minutes
Part 8 - Scoring Chances
Part 9 - Quality of Teammates
Part 10 - Wins Above Replacement
