Quick scouting read

Limited sample

Only 7 attempts are available for the period shown, too few to establish a reliable shooter/deker tendency. All 7 recorded shot types are wrist or snap shots, with no backhands; the median recorded release is about 13 ft from the center of the net.

How to read this

These are likely finish styles, not confirmed moves. Backhands suggest a deke; wrist and snap shots within 8 ft of the goal line suggest a close finish, while releases at least 13 ft out suggest a shot. The distance in between stays unclear. Slap shots count as shots; missing or unsupported data stays unclear unless the shot type alone supports a read.

The breakdown includes every attempt, including unclear finishes. Shot type is available for 7; usable release locations for 7. Profiles need at least 8 attempts and 60% classified; a lean needs at least twice as many estimates of one style as the other. A release location cannot reveal the approach side, fakes, or the target in the net. No backhands in this period does not mean a player never dekes.

Career scoring patterns use 4 fixed comparisons: backhands versus wrist and snap shots combined; far versus close releases overall; far versus close wrist and snap releases; and likely shots versus likely dekes. Far means at least 13 ft in front of the goal line, close means within 8 ft, and the distance in between is excluded from distance comparisons. Unclear finishes are excluded from shot/deke comparisons.

Both groups need at least 10 attempts. Shot-type comparisons require 80% recorded types, overall distance comparisons require 80% usable locations, and shot/deke comparisons require 80% classified finishes. Wrist/snap distance comparisons require both shot-type coverage and that location coverage within wrist/snap attempts. Each coverage check applies separately to goals and unsuccessful attempts; at least 80% of all attempts must have a known result. Unknown outcomes and finishes without a recorded release are excluded.

We show only the strongest comparison with a scoring-rate gap of at least 20 percentage points and a two-sided Fisher exact p-value below 0.05 after Holm adjustment across all comparisons meeting the sample and coverage requirements for that player. The adjustment includes comparisons with small scoring-rate gaps. These are historical associations, not proof of which move will work next.
