Let's say the average team has a 20% pp conversion rate, so each pp is "worth" .2 goals. If you get the jailbreak right at the start of the pk that .2 goals you "prevent" is still worth so much less than the actual shorthanded goal you score. More likely you get it halfway through when the pp is only worth .1 goal.
My responses above. I appreciate that the PWHL is trying out some interesting ideas that the NHL could benefit from. Some of them will inevitably be stupid, but others would be kind of cool.
You're talking about humans. Most people aren't that technical in their thought process. Even with the onslaught of statistical information I still hear and see comments, arguments etc that amount to nothing more than gut instinct or some kind of vague feeling. Broadcasters still show FOW% even though it's been demonstrated to have no correlation to winning.
Outcomes is a stat: refer to previous statement.
As much as I like this idea, I have to wonder though, would it be noticeable? The incredible offensive talent would be matched with incredible defensive talent as well as goaltending.
I even mentioned the other night that Peteangelo should have gotten a delay if game penalty when he ran into Hill, regardless if whether it was intentionally or not.
Point system, sh goal negating the pp and draft format.
I've often wondered how it would go if the NHL trade deadline was moved up to say the halfway point of the season or sooner.
I feel like having the PWHL draft system would encourage more offseason moves and better team building and help prevent LTIR trickery.
Very true. Didn't think of that.
Meant to ask:
Ok I will only use my gut instincts and feelings. The gold draft, 3-2-1 point system, and "choose your own opponent" playoffs have not driven any intriguing storylines for the PWHL at all.
