Frozen Tools Forensics

As I explore the Dobber Reports, I continue to find really interesting reports and applications. There is a ton of data to sift through and many ways to look at it. We have had a bit of a mini-series on shots over the last year and I want to continue that today. This time I [...]

Last week we took a look at prospect forwards that had some NHL experience in 2019-20. This week we are going to extend that series a bit. Prospects certainly aren’t my area of expertise (go to Dobber Prospects for that), but there are some really interesting options in Frozen Tools that help us take a [...]

Given that it sounds like the NHL is thinking about delaying the playoff plan, and potentially shortening preseason it gives us a bit more time to dive into some numbers from 2019-20. Prospects certainly aren’t my area of expertise (go to Dobber Prospects for that), but there are some really interesting options in Frozen Tools [...]

Given we have been without NHL action for some time now, and it isn’t entirely clear when we will have games to reference again, it seems appropriate to take a look at a few of our more hidden stats and reports. This week I wanted to dive into power plays a bit. Not necessarily the [...]

In this column we have used a lot of the Frozen Tool reports to gather league wide data and spot players who are excelling in various categories. This week I would like to go back to basics, to one area we have not yet addressed, the Player Profile. It houses a wealth of information about [...]

So the NHL has a plan. A plan to play. And a plan for the playoffs. Last week we took a look at how players have historically played well in the playoffs (looking at you Logan Couture). This week I wanted to return to an idea I had started with the Wild West column. The [...]

So the NHL has a plan. A plan to play. And a plan for the playoffs. If you want some perspective on what it might mean for your fantasy league, make sure to check out Ian’s article here. For me it got me started thinking about playoff hockey again. It looks like we are having [...]

We have spent some time looking at power-play IPP before (and marveling at the accomplishments of one Evgeni Malkin), but the stat that shows up in a player’s profile on Frozen Tools is a combined IPP. This week we are looking at that IPP number, checking in on a couple of player’s extraordinary results and [...]

How many ways can you categorize a shot? Well it turns out many, and each one tells us something a little different. It can be a great way to learn a bit more about a player’s habits, which can help us when considering their future. We are talking about shots (cue LMFAO if you please) [...]

The Big Board report is a treasure trove of useful information. This week I was scanning over the columns represented and game winning goals (GWGs) caught my eye (mostly because Leon Draisaitl has 11 on a shortened season and was at the top of the list). GWGs are a bit of an enigma. They are [...]
