"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

"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

"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

"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.

    Hi, 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.
