This week we are going to return from our playoff focused sequence of the last several weeks to some more traditional programming. The focus for today is going to be a look at point production, and more specifically points per 60. Points per 60 attempts to account for a player’s playing time when comparing scoring [...]
For the past several weeks we have been focusing on skater decisions at various positions. The goal was to find players you might want to add/drop during these do-or-die matchups (at least for leagues using a head-to-head format). With playoff matchups well underway we are going to focus this week on the remaining scheduled games. [...]
Over the past several weeks we have taken a look at players from the perspective of the approaching playoffs. Who are the teams on good schedules?

This week on Frozen Tool Forensics we are going to dip back into Multi-Cat Performers. The name of the game here is strong contributions across several scoring categories. To gather the data for this review we are taking a look at the Multi-Category report on the Dobber Reports page. This report gives us basic scoring [...]
Today on Frozen Tool Forensics we are going to take advantage of the upcoming Four Nations Tournament break and talk a little about player splits. For the purposes of this article, we are going to focus on first half/second half splits. Naturally we will be using past season data to do this with the idea [...]
