Heretic Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 LOL - Edmonton and Toronto each with 6! The worst 20 #NHL players rated by the advanced stat of raw Corsi. A Corsi rating is the difference between shots directed on goal by a team in 5 on 5 situations and those allowed by a team. Included are shots on goal, blocked shots and missed shots. It is a strong gage of puck possession. Players on good teams will tend to have better Corsi ratings than those on bad teams and players who play with strong linemates, or against weaker opponents or who start shifts in their offensive zone will do better than those who don't. This is a group of players who either had poor seasons contributing little or played in tough defensive situations on weak teams or both. This must all be taken into account when rating players by Corsi ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I don't think this alone makes these players the worst players in the NHL though. There are a lot more factors than just whether a team gets lots of shots on goal to take into account to determine that. Your title is pretty misleading in that regard. And as you suggest, Corsi is just as much a reflection of a weak team than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Not surprising that they're all on bad defensive teams, aside from Spaling. Where did you find these stats? I'd be curious to know who the top 20 best were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I thought this was another Top ## list at first. *whew* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dion Phaneuf Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 ...and the Leafs still made the playoffs. Just posting this so some of CDC's dummies understand that Corsi isn't an end all be all statistic. *Not directed at the OP, more towards the proposals crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHawkSniper Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'm surprised Raymond wasn't on that list, I mean Yakupov had 31 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niloc009 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Raw Corsi on a list like this is near useless. Just an indication of bad defensive teams,rather than bad players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 McClement at first is surprising as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drouin Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I would take McClement as our 4th line center in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Industrious1 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Somewhat interesting. More happy about the fact that this thread has a different spin than all of the "best players of _____" that seem to have sprung up all over the place in General.

zombieksa Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Can't find link but McClement played top 5 hardest minutes in entire league for forwards last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
