Frozen Tools Forensics

We won’t be covering the NHL playoffs blow by blow in this column, though we will touch on teams a bit as they get knocked out in each round. For this week, and for several upcoming weeks, we will be taking a look back over full season data and find out which players provided the [...]

With about a week’s worth of regular season action left I wanted to take a moment for what has become an annual tradition over here in Frozen Tool Forensics. We are using our regular season stats to look forward to playoff leagues and see if we can predict some unlikely playoff heroes. This all started [...]

For the past several weeks we have been focusing on streaking players 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). This week is likely to be our last looking forward article.

We won’t be hitting directly on a specific trade in this article, but in honor of the trade deadline, and to set our expectations accordingly when players [...]

Last week we looked the young players who have been performing well recently and today we are flipping the script and looking at those still productive older players. With the younger players, we looked at smaller sample sizes of positive production [...]
