AHL S2 Playoff Preview: The Numbers

Flapjack8796 posted a thread on LGHL where he put together stats that provide insight into each LGHL playoff team.

After reading it i was inspired to put something together for LGAHL.
Spent some time and here it is.

This is an unbiased analysis, no predictions.
Cheers

Nicely done.

 

Glad I inspired someone else to do it and I hope it didn't take as long for you as it did for me!

 

It took awhile.
Research, statistical analysis, stat organization, etc.

 

Nicely done Python. The thing that surprised me the most is how many penalty minutes some of the top teams have. If they don't address that I could see another top team taking advantage. Example: Wolves over Ice Hogs.

 

Good read And good write up Python

 

That is excellent work!
Well done!

 

Appreciate the positive response.
Cheers.
