"As director of hockey analytics, Barnes was instrumental in incorporating data-driven decision-making into the day-to-day processes of the hockey operations department, overseeing the development of player valuation systems, trader tools for management, predictive frameworks for roster portfolio term risk, and technology to convert the insights of hockey operations management, scouts, and coaches into actionable metrics," the Capitals' description of Barnes' previous role reads."
"Barnes, who previously used the pseudonym Vic Ferrari, was a pioneer in advanced analytics through his now-defunct hockey statistics blog, "Irreverent Oilers Fans." There, he would coin the term "Corsi," now used to represent shot attempts, and formulate many of the methods widely used today to evaluate individual players."
"Since Barnes' hiring, the Capitals have enjoyed significant success, winning the Metropolitan Division six times and capturing two Presidents' Trophies as the league's best team over the last 11 seasons. The Capitals also captured their first Stanley Cup championship in 2018."
