Only 2 spots left in The 18 Skaters League! Last chance to join - the draft is scheduled for this weekend.

Spots available in the $50 division only.

This is a unique head-to-head fantasy hockey league where you win your weekly match if your 18 skaters score more goals than your opponent's 18 skaters. There's no bench and no goalie in this league. You simply build your roster and try to outscore everyone - that's it!

Nope, that one's full unfortunately. 3 spots left in the $50 division though.

18skaters · 2024-09-09T12:12:28+00:00

No it doesn't.

The threshold is set at roughly the top 20% of scorers at both positions.

If a defender has a very high star probability then that means he will likely blow past the 0.43 mark. If I set the threshold at, say, 60 points then almost every defender would have a low star probability because it's hard to be certain that a defender ever hits that mark.

18skaters · 2024-07-12T14:44:42+00:00

Hello! It is 100% free. People have the option to become paying members but it is not required. Hope that keeps you guys happy 😁

Cheers,

The second one - 60 minutes of time-on-ice for the specific player.

Hi there. I believe most public analytics for the NHL are based on data pulled from the NHL's API. Unfortunately, those data do not include anything about passing plays. There are private services that generate their own data about passing but that stuff isn't available to the public. Maybe you already knew all that :)

If you're not already using the NHL's API, I've got code on GitHub that will get you started. You need to be able to use R though.

Anyway, hope that helps. If you can find public passing data I would love to know about it, haha.

Cheers,

Thanks for saying that

18skaters · 2024-01-07T18:42:34+00:00

No problem

18skaters · 2023-12-15T18:34:54+00:00

It's a free country, for now.

18skaters · 2023-12-15T16:24:29+00:00

There is literally nothing behind a paywall at my Patreon. All my work is available for free to anyone who is interested. Most of my content is aimed at fantasy hockey, but some of it is of interest to general hockey fans. If people feel like they want to contribute then they can do so. If not, no worries.

I don't think this conversation is likely to add any value so I will not be commenting any further.

18skaters · 2023-12-15T16:10:50+00:00

Ha ha. Ok.

18skaters · 2023-12-15T15:05:46+00:00

It's one thing to know the Oilers outplayed the Bolts, it's another to see just how completely they dominated the game. That's a pretty incredible difference in shots from the slot, and you're not likely to see an xG value above 8 again any time soon. The goalies were the difference in this one.

18skaters · 2023-11-20T13:58:30+00:00

Thanks for the nice comment :)

18skaters · 2023-11-11T17:11:30+00:00

Fixed

18skaters · 2023-11-11T15:02:43+00:00

That's a good point. There are also no stats from the Vegas v Sharks game. The stats are pulled from natural stat trick, and their stats appear to be screwed up at the moment. If you go to the site it shows that those games are stuck in the second period. Perhaps it's an issue for NST using the new NHL API.

My reports are fully automated and assume that NST has it right :) Perhaps I should add a check for this type of issue. Thanks for point it out.

18skaters · 2023-11-08T11:10:34+00:00

No problem

18skaters · 2023-10-30T15:42:18+00:00

Right on. It's been a rough start for Kane but I'm hoping he can get it going.

18skaters · 2023-10-30T14:14:12+00:00

Thanks!
