I was looking at last years hockey results using percent of goals scored verses win% and I thought this was kind of interesting. Its like the results went up like a curve.
Heres some result to show what I'm talking about
First number is a teams percent of goals scored in a game like if there was 5 goals scored in a game and team A scored 3 then they would have scored 60% .
Second number is win%
58% = 66%
54% = 59%
50% = 50%
47% = 43%
43% = 33%
I did it for all the teams last season and the results were similar so it difinitly shows that both are relavent.
Something interesting the top team Washington scored 58% of the goals in games they played and had a 66 win % while the worst team was Edmonton who only scored 43% of goals in games they played and had a 33 win % thats almost the exact opposite.
Anyway what kind of math or method could I use here to get a win% for a game if I can already predict a score.
Thanks
