The 2011-2012 NHL regular season is finished, and the first round of the playoffs is well underway. During the latter part of the hockey season, I took some time to revise and update my original NHL player stats data viz.

“You miss 100% of the shots you never take.”
I love that quote from Wayne Gretzky even though it is obvious and has become a bit cliche'.
The St. Louis Blues had a little bit of extra time off after the All-Star game. Tonight is their first game since the break. I wanted to publish one more data viz before they started back up again. After that, I will probably wait till the end of the season to publish any additional hockey data visualizations.
This visualization is taking a look at their goal scoring (or as many Blues' fans would say -- their lack of goal scoring). They need to score more goals if they want to remain competitive for the remainder of the season and (hopefully) the playoffs. So I put together something that shows who has the best goal percentage, goals per game, which players need to improve their goal scoring ability, and which players need to shoot the puck more!
