St.Louis gave up: 113 goals at HOME. 105 goals on ROAD. 8/41 = +0.20 at HOME. The numbers used in previous post were for 2008-2009 season. - Pengwin7 Fri, 14 Jan 2011 08:50:36 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/43-dave-poleck/3380-looking-ahead-week-15#comment-11128 Lots of numbers here, but my own number-crunching over the year indicates that teams (on average) will give up 0.25-0.50 more goals on the road than at home. There is very little trend among any one team. The difference won't consistenly hold. The variance for any given team during any given season is more just anomaly/circumstance than a "pattern that will continue". For example, in 2009-2010: Tampa Bay gave up: 132 goals at HOME. 137 goals on ROAD. Difference =5/41= +0.12ROAD. St.Louis gave up: 105 goals at HOME. 117 goals on ROAD. Difference =12/41= +0.29ROAD. If you had to bet your bank account... would you really predict that, going forward, the PENS will give up more goals/game at CONSOL than on the road??? I'd bet they will give up more goals/game on the road. Good collection of numbers though. - Pengwin7 Fri, 14 Jan 2011 08:45:52 +0100
