#Fancystats Friday: Drivers, Supporters, Hopeless, Passengers

Let's take a look at who is driving possession so far this season and who is along for the ride.

This is pretty simple actually. Everyone's favorite chart type, a scatterplot, with 4 quadrants. Along the bottom we have the player's corsi for % (the percentage of unblocked shot attempts for the team when player is on the ice) and along the side axis I have calculated the percentage of unblocked shot attempts that the player has contributed while on the ice. Using this, we can see which player has better possession and which player is generating the unblocked shot attempts that we use to measure possession.
