Scouting report
What you get for Ice Hockey
Hockey shot maps record how each attempt was taken (wrist, snap, slap, backhand, tip-in and more) and the manpower it came at: even strength, power play or short-handed, with rink coordinates and an expected-goals value.
Scores break down period by period, with overtime and shoot-outs as phases of their own. Penalties arrive as timed suspensions, lineups come with covered leagues, and postseason games link to every other game of their playoff series.
