Good thing statistics aren't carved in stone.

Look, I appreciate this comment in the spirit it's made (I assume lightheartedly), but people bring this up as a serious argument sometimes and I think it's worth making the following point.

This is exactly what "statistically" means.

It does NOT mean that late round picks never make the NHL. It DOES mean that it is much less likely. Zetts and Datsyuk are certainly outliers, no question; however, the fact that they are so remarkable actually supports the point that Addict was making above.

It was totally lighthearted. The look on Z's face in that pic just seemed to me to be kind of smug in a good way. He knows he's an oddity, as do we.

Sorry if it got under your skin. It wasn't meant to disprove the previous statement.
