As I was mulling over my individual grades for our Penguins while preparing my previous article, I decided to take a peek at Natural Stat Trick to see how the numbers shook out.
In the past, I’ve used 5v5 goals for percentage (GF%) as a measuring stick. I was considering using the same criteria as a basis for my grades this time around. I also wanted to check out a rather shocking statistical anomaly my esteemed colleague, Other Rick, had discovered the other day. One that flies in the face of conventional wisdom and perception.
Sure enough as I scanned our individual goals for and against at 5v5 play there it was…nearly jumping off the computer screen and slapping me in the face…just as Other Rick had said.
With a GF% just above 50 percent, know who was on the ice for the most goals against 5v5?
