I thought it was pretty interesting. Here's the link to this weeks: http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/2235...ics-Jan-13.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 Despite the fact that Datsyuk is ranked third here, its a pretty ridiculous formula. For starters, a goal is worth more than an assist? How many times have we seen Pavel Datsyuk or Henrik Zetterberg or Nick Lidstrom do all the work to set up a guy for the easy in. Secondly, shoot-out goals count as much as game-time goals. And if you're just counting goals, you'd have to take a look at whose setting these guys up for the goal. That said, I do think its interesting that most of the players on this list are their teams best offensive player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 I really like that statistical system, really interesting at the very least. Does go to show how players really impact a game when you take into consideration helping the team win versus a normal stat padding assist on the 7th goal in a blow out. Not saying this is better than the average G=A, G+A=Pts system, its just... different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
