SHP - oh man.
You know how some people really, really hate +/-???
I hate one thing in fantasy hockey:
SHP!
Unh-unh.
Not happening. Hate it, hate it, hate it.
As a side discussion: here's why:
The
true value in a penalty killer is how many kills they can successfully do.
I always shake it out like this:
JonnyPicker. On for 100 penalty kills. Successfully kills 80. Gives up 20 PP against, score 3 goals for his team though, and racks up 3 SHP.
JimmyTwoway. On for 100 penalty kills. Successfully kills 90. Gives up 10 PP against. Doesn't score any goals for.
Here's what fantasy hockey captures:
JonnyPicker will be +3 with 3 SHP. (He's also a -17 on the PK. 3 GF - 20GA = -17.)
JimmyTwoWay will be +0 with 0 SHP. (He's also -10 on the PK. 0 GF - 10GA = -10.)
Relative goal differential rules in hockey. More goals for... than goals against... is what wins a game, right?
JimmyTwoWay is the better NHL penalty killer...
so I refuse to reward JonnyPicker here!! (sorry!)
Fantrax gives you some pretty funny goalie options if you want them, too.
