But as you said shootouts rarely happen and isn't as stable as say sh% where you have a larger bank of data to choose from, so there is a big room for number sways either way. - Ryan Ma Fri, 01 Jan 2010 20:24:04 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/2467-statistical-anomalies#comment-3601 Astute observations.

Over the previous four years, Datsyuk has gone 3/6, 5/10, 4/10, and 5/10 in the shootout. Seems like he's a long-haul 50% shooter. Shootout sample sizes are so small that any one year's stats are pretty meaningless though. It would only take two misses to return Datsyuk to his 50% zone. A great example is Wolski - 10/12 last year, 1/7 this year. I like these articles; good info to contemplate. - Guy Incognito Thu, 31 Dec 2009 22:09:30 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/2467-statistical-anomalies#comment-3594 Toews was 6 for 10 in the shootout last year too, and of course he showed an aptitude for it before then. I don't see why his 4 of 6 this year needs much of an adjustment. Crosby on the other hand was 3 of 10 last year and is now 5 of 6, so that seems more in need of a correction unless he figured something out along the way (which I wouldn't put past him - I did hear something about someone advising him to slow down and stick handle to make the goalie move his legs and look for holes low). Still, 5 for 6 is unsustainable for the long haul. - Guy Incognito Thu, 31 Dec 2009 20:10:26 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/2467-statistical-anomalies#comment-3535 nice job man, i enjoyed it - mm12 Tue, 29 Dec 2009 09:23:52 +0100
