| Sep 19, 2014 at 12:30 | comment | added | ACD | @MichaelMyers How are you missing this. You said this: "The one situation in which icing might confer a slim advantage: When there are fewer than 15 seconds left in the game." The data says the exact opposite and that there's actually a higher chance of making it in that scenario. | |
| Sep 19, 2014 at 0:10 | comment | added | Michael Myers | @ACD: The question was whether it works. My conclusion is that there is no evidence that it works, and I specifically pointed out that the difference between iced and non-iced kicks appears random. | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 21:36 | comment | added | ACD | @MichaelMyers So I'd be with you, except you're contradicting yourself somewhere. It either doesn't matter for all four cases or does matter all four cases. You are arbitrarily saying it doesn't matter in the first 3 cases, but maybe does in the fourth. I do not understand your reasons for drawing this conclusion. | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 21:19 | comment | added | Michael Myers | @ACD: I see. If you're willing to hang your hat on the significance of a 2.4 percentage point difference in the best case, then yes. But I'm not. | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 20:55 | comment | added | ACD | @MichaelMyers Oops, my bad. The data you posted says that if you were iced you should make less field goals then if you weren't iced unless there's 15 seconds left. | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 20:37 | comment | added | Michael Myers | @ACD: Sorry, "If iced you make more of the time when not iced" isn't parsing. What are you saying? | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 16:55 | comment | added | ACD | Isn't this data saying the exact opposite? If iced you make more of the time when not iced, unless there's 15sec or less left?? | |

I don't know for certain, but I do know that there are 267 games per year counting playoffs, so the study should cover 2403 games. That should be enough to at least give a fair level of certainty that icing does not help. | |
| Feb 9, 2012 at 23:49 | comment | added | kmm | Do you know if there are there any actual statistical tests associated with those percentages? | |
| Feb 9, 2012 at 17:50 | comment | added | corsiKa | Maybe it's time to start duking them out. Make them think you're going to ice them, but don't? :) | |
