I assume your next thing will be... no one cares about dom's model it's the dumbest stupidest thing ever.
Being a finalist for the best defensive forward in the league is a bad thing now?
YOU ARE SAYING SOMEONE BEING NOMINATED FOR AN AWARD MEANS THEY ARE GOOD LMFAOOOO
The fact that you are using that unironically is so funny.
This is funny. You see how similar they are, right? This also DOES NOT FACTOR IN 2022-23, where Horvat was signifigantly better. idk how to put in images, but:
Horvat has a signifigantly better RAPM chart (GF/60, xGF/60, CF/60, CA/60, xGF/60) which are 5 of the best stats I like to look at when evaluating a players two way game.
Both are off to underwhelming starts this season but last year, Horvat finished with 1.6 higher GAR than Lindholm and 14.9 higher xGAR over the past two seasons than Lindholm, 13 higher last season alone.
Horvat also has .6 higher xDEF than Lindholm over the past two seasons as well
IDK what model those graphics use but evolving hockey, where I am getting my stats, is by far the most accurate model imo. It uses the most factors and values efficiency and expected performance (isolating results and using projected values) instead of relying more on results, as a forward cannot control how their goalie or linemates do. Of course some stats you showed do that, but not to the same extent as EV's model
Anyways, at least I dont just copy and paste graphics that I cannot understand!
