Back on December 9th, or game 26, I began to separate the Phantoms’ Corsi into high, medium, and low danger. Two months and 25 games of data later, it feels like a good time to discuss it a bit. Before I get into how I decide if a Corsi event is low, medium, or high danger, if you don’t know what Corsi is, or would like a refresher, I highly recommend Charlie O’Conner’s advanced stats primer on The Athletic.
Introduced by WAR On Ice (WOI), danger zones were created to take metrics like Corsi to the next level.
