Back in August we used this article posted on June 30th, 2022 to identify a few potential breakout candidates for 2025-26. The summary is that there tends to be a game count by which players start to break out. In this case breakout is defined as a 25 percent year-over-year increase. What they found is [...]
This week we are going to take a bit of a left turn and look at some shooting data. Dobber Frozen Tools Reports has a report titled Missed Shots which includes a lot of interesting information about shot attempts, blocked shots, missed shots, goal posts, and crossbars. For today I wanted to focus in on [...]
This week on Frozen Tool Forensics we are going to turn our attention to some potentially lower rostered players. These players have been decent producers while in the lineup, but their overall numbers have been suppressed because of missed time. As such they may have been flying under the radar in some leagues. To put [...]
This week on Frozen Tool Forensics we are going to be digging into the young guns. We will be looking at their current production and giving some perspective on whether what they are doing is sustainable for those trying to make some short term decisions, but by and large the bigger question for these guys [...]

Today on Frozen Tool Forensics we are looking back to draft day. A lot has happened since then and we are going to attempt to quantify a bit of that and highlight some big changes for players. To do this we are going to take some Yahoo average draft positions and compare them to the [...]
Today on Frozen Tool Forensics we are going to take a quick departure from actual production and spend some time looking at player deployment. As deployment so often dictates changes in production, we certainly will see some players who are performing a bit better or worse than expected, but what we are really looking at [...]
This week on Frozen Tool Forensics we are going with a classic hot and cold column. We are taking a look at several players on hot and cold streaks and trying to figure out if there is something sustainable happening, or if we should expect them to revert back to their usual. In order to [...]

This week on Frozen Tool Forensics we are turning specifically toward defence production. There are certainly a number of D making headlines, from rookie Matthew Schaefer whom we discussed last week, to Simon Nemec pulling off a hattrick, to Cale Makar casually on an 111-point pace. Today though I want to focus on players who [...]
