@alfie “How meaningless is preseason hockey? Very! And I can prove it”
“To answer this dumbass question, I spent several hours of my life collecting, cleaning, and analyzing preseason and regular season data going back to 2002 for the four major North American sports.”
“To get an understanding of just how meaningless the preseason is, the correlation between score share in the first 10 games of the NHL season and the rest of the season is 0.29. For the first 20 games, that value is 0.41. So in a sport where current outcomes are already terrible at predicting future outcomes, the preseason is worse by a full third.”
“In conclusion, I am an imbecile and this was an absurd waste of time. I hope no one reads this article because it reflects poorly on me and the choices I make both as an analyst and a person.”
