Stargazing: A Dallas Stars Puckcast | Defending Big D

The Stat Cast


Listen Later

Some of us just like to enjoy a beverage and watch a Dallas Stars game – and that's just fine. But others want to understand how players affect the game and the team around them...and that's where math comes in.

For this edition of Stargazing, D Magazine's David Castillo – who's also a longtime DBD contributor – sat down with Wes Lawrence to take the fear out of #fancystats. In this episode, they discuss:

  • how stats like Corsi and Wins Above Replacement affect a team's makeup,
  • what coaches may see in that player you hate (or love),
  • why analysis and intuition can, and should, work hand in hand,
  • and what's on the horizon for the quant crowd.
  • Ready to revisit the Honka Wars? Oh yes...we went there. Leave your thoughts here, or DM us on the ’90s-era default font app @WesALawrence or @KETibbetts. Let's talk about it!

    And please don't forget to share. Tell your friends about us, and give us a rate or review wherever you listen. We appreciate it more than we can say.
