Hi everyone, I know we're super late, but Season 9 awards will be finished by this weekend. Season 10 over the next week or so, and Season 11 should be right on time. If you think you can be an active and helpful member for the awards committee going forward please feel free to message myself or @Desjy99 we are always open to adding guys who are willing to put some work in, and can be as un-biased as possible when it comes to voting. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before we start, I want to make sure everyone knows that no member of the committee was or will be allowed to vote for an award in which they are nominated. The Community Vote will be included in the final vote, along with the committee votes. Also, for Strength of schedule, the lower the number, the tougher your schedule. If your SOS was a 7.8 (Conf) and a 15.2 (League), your average game played would be against the 8th place team in the conference, and 15th in the league as a whole. Really high=really poor SOS. Another new thing we added for this year was Quality of Competition, thanks to @radicalapex we can quickly go through and find the average PR ranking of each players' opponents. PR being the little number next to your name in the roster tab. On top of that, something new we introduced last year is SOS (Lines), for this we had people go through every single game for every single nominee, and determine at the time of that game, what line they were facing off against. We initially tested this with one person's games, and had 2 of us go through each game independently and write down what we thought each line was. We found that we agreed on every single game, so we went through the rest working together. Can it be considered subjective? Yes, but we have people doing this who are about as unbiased as you can get, and we felt like this measurement combined with the normal team-based SOS would paint a fuller picture. We've also added Home and Away records, both this and the line based SOS were heavily requested, but if you guys think there are better ways, we are open to suggestions. Finally, to explain a stat that always has some questions which we started including last year, from the thread where it was first added to the site; "Own End Efficiency (OEE): While many people who never get points claim to be “shutdown” defenders few are, this is your put up or shut up stat boys. Measuring the amount of time an opponent needs to score on average against you." Pretty straightforward, the higher the number, the better in zone defense you've been playing. It's how much zone time opponents need to score against you. If you guys have any questions as to why someone was not included, we will be happy to answer and provide the numbers to back it up. Also at the bottom we've included all of the stats and info we have for the finalists, please feel free to use them before you vote. Here are your 5 finalists for the Season 9 Norris Trophy; _____________________________________________________________________________________ @stammerchel LD, Edmonton Oilers Overall Production 35P, 3G, 32A, +55, 1.25 PPG, 3:12 OEE, 1.46 GAA, 123 GA, 72 TA, 16 PIMs Vs.
