Last season, your pals here at FlamesNation changed up our original data collection for Calgary Flames regular season games.
We're going to make some tweaks again - in part due to logistics and in part due to availability of comparable data - so we thought we'd take advantage of the lull before the beginning of the season to share them with you.
LAST SEASON
For the 2014-15 season, we added the tracking of offensive zone entries to our data collection. Fundamentally-speaking, this meant watching every game and tracking scoring chances (Corsi events within the "home plate" area in front of each team's net), in addition to paying close attention to Flames players entering the offensive zone - which player entered, how they entered, and the time they entered the zone.
