For the (maybe?) final edition of the stats for the Stanley Cup, we will go over if either team likes playing at home better than away and if they happen to be streaky at all. This is definitely important because neither team was able to win on the road so far in the series and whoever wins their road game, wins the Stanley Cup (unless the Penguins lose in Nashville and then win in Pittsburgh). Nashville Predators Home Winning Percentage: 90% Away Winning Percentage: 45.4% Difference: 44.6% Home Ice Advantage: None found Streaks of Three or More: 1 In the simulation, they were not found to be a streaky team because they were predicted to have streaks less than ot higher than 3 about 51 times out of 100. Pittsburgh Penguins Home Winning Percentage: 76.9% Away Winning Percentage: 45.4% Difference: 31.5% Home Ice Advantage: None found Streaks of Three or More: 3 In the simulation, they were not found to be a streaky team because they were predicted to have that amount of streaks 55 times out of 100. You would think that a team with a 90% winning percentage at home would give them an advantage, but their p-value was not small enough for that. Oh well. Pittsburgh has a chance to lower it tomorrow!

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
