Who plays with who

By Tangotiger, 10:32 PM

I like these kinds of charts. In this one, Olivier shows who plays with who based on shot events. We see that Plekanec, Kostitsyn, and Cammalleri formed one line a substantial portion of their time. Gionta, Gomez, and Pax (before he got mauled) formed a second line.

The other two lines were more fluid. Moen was paired with Eller and Haperin. Halperin was paired with Moen and Pouliot. Pouliot with Desharnais and Darche.

So, while the above was total shots taken and allowed, he then does a shot differential here. Ideally, whoever you play with the most has the largest positive shot differential.

You could, for example, do this in baseball. Match up starting pitcher with catcher, or with bullpen. 82games I think already shows it for basketball.
