Real-Time Super Stats And Hockey Success

Is this a hit, or is Hossa just trying to squeeze through? (Photo by Rich Lam/Getty Images)
The NHL publishes data for what it calls "Real-Time Super Stats." These stats include most of the subjective judgments like blocked shots, giveaways, missed shots, and hits. Some coaches have structured their game plan around dominating in these areas, and there are players that are sought after specifically for their ability to succeed in one of these categories.
The question I'm going to look into today is how these categories contribute to winning hockey games. I'll be using a simple correlation analysis that looks at multiple years of data. Join me after the jump.
Rupp on Twitter
It was posted on LGP that Rupp was on Twitter (his account has since been verified), so I thought I'd share that there's been an eRUPPtion on Twitter.
/lame joke
So, anyways, here's my favorite tweet so far:
Going to bed and came across my boy Talbo's comments at today's press conference for the Winter Classic.You gotta love Pens/Caps rivalry LOL
Leftover forwards we could potentially chase?

Scanning through the free agent listings and a few names jumped off the page...
Cheechoo? with Ottawa buying out his contract could he be gotten on the cheap, like McKee last year? A one year deal less than a million? He at least has some top2 line forward experience. Big question mark on chemistry, though.
Afinogenov? How much of a pay raise is he due? Probably too much for us but again he has some top line exp. He potentially might be interested in playing on a contender instead of big money.
Selanne has been mentioned for PP help by other posters and his price range probably could be met.
On an unrelated note, Hulu is streaming our cup victory game over the North Stars and Mario's 4 goal All-Star game in Pittsburgh for you puckheads starving for action like myself.

Sneak Peak at the Pens Winter Classic Logo
You know you wanna look....
Winter Classic Presser, Mario's First Meeting With Stanley
by Hooks Orpik on Jul 27, 2010 10:36 AM EDT

A couple of quick reminders:
``At 12:00 Eastern you can stream the press conference for the Winter Classic off of penguins.com. Mario Lemieux, Ray Shero, Pascal Dupuis, Matt Cooke and Sidney Crosby will be there for the Pens. Caps reps are Dick Patrick (team president), David Steckel and Mike Knuble.
Logos for the event are expected to be released, as well as pictures of what an ice rink inside Steelers' Heinz Field will look like. Some have speculated lately that the Pens may use a black or gold winter classic jersey and not a blue one, so perhaps we'll get a clue today. As a jersey reminder: the powder blue alternate jersey that the team's used the past couple of years WILL be worn about 10 times this year, but they'll have a special 2011 Winter Classic jersey that will be worn just once. For this season, at least.
``Tonight at 8:00 Eastern, tune to the NHL Network for Game 6 of the 1991 Stanley Cup Finals between the Pens and the Minnesota North Stars. I'm not exactly sure what happens, I think you'll see some goals (and maybe THE goal) and then afterwards people are happy or something.
(Tomorrow night the 1992 Cup clincher will be on NHLN.)
A somewhat busy summer day for Penguins hockey. You gotta take what you can get.
