I gotta run, but will come back to them later today (probably). Thank you for the links. It looks like all of my questions are answered in those articles. If I have any other questions/counterpoints, I'll write back. - Teh Doktor Fri, 03 Aug 2012 07:56:17 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4810-august-03-2012#comment-22066 Teh Doktor - if you have some to read - here are two great breakdowns of PDO: http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2012/8/2/3199343/intro-to-advanced-statistics-pdo and http://www.fearthefin.com/2012/8/2/3215351/non-traditional-metrics-glossary-pdo - angus Fri, 03 Aug 2012 06:56:55 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4810-august-03-2012#comment-22064 Got the guide yesterday, and it's great! Can't wait for the updates. Looking at "PDO"... maybe I'm missing something here. For one thing, save percentage is usually given as a decimal. Ex 0.904 While shooting percentage is usually given as a percent. Ex 19.3% PDO "adds the save percentage to the shooting percentage" Ex Vrbata's PDO is 1038. So how do you get a number for PDO specifically? Furthermore, just looking at this for the first time (And I'm not feeling well here), shouldn't a good players PDO be better than a fourth liners, in general? Unless they are like a +75 or something? A 90 pt players PDO would be better than a 10pt players. There would be exceptions, of course. A 90pt player with a horrible +/-, for instance. But those should be few and far between. Kind of tied to the above point/question, is that if a player has a PDO above 1000, you're saying that it should come down. And the converse is also predicted. But there are players who are better than others. The really good players should have (unless they play on an awful team) better PDO's throughout their careers. At least I would think that. So why should it be predicted that it will come back down to average? Lastly, I'm not sure what I should be looking for with PDO: Numbers above, or below 1000. Betting suggests that you always bet with the trend, not against it (at least that is my understanding). "Never bet against a hot streak". I'm not poking holes, or discounting the idea of PDO. I'm just trying to understand it, so I know what I'm looking at, and can come to my own decisions. Thanks for any help. - Teh Doktor Fri, 03 Aug 2012 06:05:37 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4810-august-03-2012#comment-22061 I can't believe people are still overlooking the best shootout goal in the NHL after Malik's...
