A Regression Analysis On How Attributes Impact Regular Season Stats

Yeah i mean as much as i took penalties, the number of hits generated for turnovers is pretty insane.

Thompson if it´s the player you are talking about,  274 hits and 83 pims, and the other season 178 hits with 88 pims. Even in your rookie year you got over 100 hits with 35 pims, but I´m guessing the checking was not as high then as it was now?

I don’t recall for sure but I’m pretty sure all my checking was added last season.

But hits do lead to more turnover and therefore more puck possession, hence there is a good side. Obviously all about the balance, but there's definitely a pattern of 1 good hitting forward working very well with one pure scoring forward.

But still, ruins it for me personally. If I want to put 90 on the checking, I´m going to be in the box a lot every season, then we can all wonder why important game in the playoffs turned into defeat, is it because jRuutu and his turnover hitting machine took three minor penalties and other team scores couple on the PP?

 

I guess it´s bigger ´issue´ in other leagues with more players in each teams and all that.

This discussion has motivated me, my next regression is going to be about how upgrading checking impacts expected hits, PIMS, points, etc

From this regression, Checking has the 4th highest positive coefficient in relation to points, so an argument can be made that is certainly is impactful in getting more points.
