I tried to do it for the third and lasted about five minutes. It is really difficult. I had a real hard time deciding what was an expected good play and what was an abnormally good, good play. I also had a problem figuring out what to do with turnovers in safe areas and some other relatively harmless "bad plays."
As a general matter, I thought we did a great job moving the puck up the ice in large chunks.
I think you just pick your own standard and go with it. You might be surprised how similar ours would be.
But for the most part, if one of our defensemen causes a turnover, even a harmless one, i usually ding them with a minus.
Also if they get to the puck in our zone first (by a good amount of time that I think they should have made a play) and then get forechecked off the puck, I give em a minus. Same with Bad penalties etc etc.
As for good play vs "really" good play. Totally subjective as well.
I marked alot of those "short" passes today. I.E. D men under pressure that get the puck to the center who is back by our own face off dot. Technically it is our style, but I am always impressed when its 2-1 or 1-1 high pressure for the D man, and he gets it out relatively easily.
Also really solid passes out of the D zone to a forward i mark. Especially a few of our long bombs today.
Ex. Ericsson's Bank pass off the boards to Tatar for almost a break away.
But who knows man. I invented it as an "eye" test.
Basically i dont award marks for what I think is a routine play. But if you do a score one day or even just one period, we can discuss and see how similar we get
(plus if 1 or 2 more people do this, you will just be 1/3rd or 1/4 of the score, so it all evens out)
