Assigning blame
Just as you can watch a real game and be able to reasonably assign a fielding blame for a hit allowed, Gabriel does the same in hockey, for the Sharks defenseman, for an even-strength goal allowed. Focus on the GA (goals allowed) and Errors (goals allowed directly attributed to mistake by player) columns.
I don’t know how much it means. But, it’s great to get these kinds of data points. This is what I am talking about when I say that data recorders should record, and data analysts should analyze. In this case, Gabe put on two hats, but made sure to only wear one of them at a time. I’d love for this stuff to be done on a global level, in baseball, hockey as well as other sports.
