This is a great explanation of the issues we have with statistics. You see this all the time in other sports too. As a hockey watcher, fans always want “explanations” for a loss or losing streak. More often than not, it’s just bad luck, and the kneejerk reactions that coaches and GMs take often just make things worse. Nate Silver did a writeup showing the math around how the winner of the Stanley Cup comes down to little more than random chance. |
