I’ll change 99.9 to 100 now that I think about it. 
An example to why it’s a useless stat.
Ovechkin can score over 50 goals a season and still be -35 |
I’m totally not saying Johnny is a better player than McDavid. McDavid is amazing…
However…he is on the ice for far too many goals against.
So now comes the blame game for the Oilers.
Is this because McDavid doesn’t play good defence? Johnny does better?
Is it because his linemates suck? Is the Flames line with Johnny better?
Is it because goal tending sucks? Flames definitely have the better goalies
Is it because coaching sucks? Flames seem to have far superior coaching.
Is it because line for line… competitors are really strong? If so is Johnny playing easier competitor lines?
Combination of the above?
Good question…
