"It's actually insane when you break it down and think about it; People work all week so they can have a surf on the weekend or whatever. We do something that we love every day." -Bronte Macaulay  World Surf League "I really enjoy that pressure and rise to the occasion. I just like to get in my zone and be in there. When I’m confident and playing my game it’s really nice and once your teammates believe in you and you believe in yourself you play your best and build up your confidence. I love playing those big games and I love those butterflies! It’s when I play my best!" -Genevieve LaCasse  @stonewall_35 "This is the third time in four years that an Australian woman has won [AFC Women's player of the Year award]. I think we're going in the right direction in Australia for women's football... I'm very proud if I can be flying the flag for Australia and the growth of women's football. Things like this help, but at the end of the day team performances and team wins are more important than individual awards." -Sam Kerr  abc.net.au "I feel at peace with myself when I dance. I don't see or feel my chair. I don't pay any attention to it... [my friends and I] love breaking stereotypes of what a person in a wheelchair looks like. We're not sad and depressed. We're fun, active and young!" -Chelsie Hill Time to learn more about the current status of goaltenders in the NHL with our latest investigation!  @SNStats What are we measuring here? We want to know if the amount of goals against has to do with the amount of shots against for a goaltender. For this investigation, the top ten goaltenders in goals against were used along with their numbers for shots against. Top Ten (from hockey-reference.com): Frederik Andersen (TOR)- 64 GA, 786 SA Cam Talbot (EDM)- 61 GA, 629 SA Matthew Murray (PIT)- 58 GA, 617 SA John Gibson (ANA)- 57 GA, 715 SA Henrik Lundqvist (NYR)- 57 GA, 684 SA Craig Anderson (OTT)- 56 GA, 504 SA Jake Allen (STL)- 55 GA, 589 SA Mike Smith (CGY)- 54 GA, 713 SA Jimmy Howard (DET)- 53 GA, 621 SA Robin Lehner (BUF)- 52 GA, 537 SA Devan Dubnyk (MIN)- 52 GA, 592 SA Brian Elliott (PHI)- 52 GA, 548 SA Ben Bishop (DAL)- 52 GA, 581 SA  Observed r: 0.624 Association: Positive Strength: Moderate True correlation between goals against and shot attempts is positive because 2% were above the observed r of 0.624 presented above. So this means that there is a good chance that these two variables are related!  With a larger sample size, we will know if they truly are correlated BUT this is a start.

AuthorHi, I'm Jenna and I'm a sports fan! I've been avidly watching sports since 2011 because I found that by watching sports, I would be able to communicate with my dad and brother better. Ever since I got into sports, I've been able to enjoy myself more when I go to sporting events with my family. Archives
