Fenwick Timelines!! Many number munchers around the web will tout the value of Fenwick and Corsi when analyzing hockey. It tends to be the best long term predictor of future success and can offer a nice snap shot of just how effective a team has been.
Now before you turn off your brain and say “advanced stats are stupid”, Fenwick is simply shots, posts and missed shots added together and it generally goes hand in hand with offensive zone time.
Now for your Winnipeg Jets: Thanks to some awesome work by Arctic Ice Hockey overlord Gabe Desjardins, via his hockey nerd haven www.behindthenet.ca individual game tables, so let’s get at it!
Here is the Fenwick timeline for the Winnipeg Jets @ New York Rangers on Febuary 27th, 2013:

Ranger Danger:
Simply put, the Jets were the better team last night. The first period sucked (this appears to be a trend), but the Jets really started to pull away in the second. I am not a huge fan of how they shut it down late, but hey… they got a win. It is too bad that we don't have the individual player's Fenwick over time. I am sure a number of guys were well into the plus before they Jets turned of their engines.
