Curious about how one of our Penguins (I won’t mention who) was faring in terms of 5v5 goals on ice for and against, I decided to check his numbers. From there it was a short leap to expand on my original search and include the whole team.
I like the goals for/goals against stat because…bottom line…that’s what it’s all about. While there are all sorts of variables that come into play…a player’s role and deployment, the quality of opposition, game situations, etc., a player wants to help his team score and prevent the other team from scoring.
I decided to rank our guys by Goals For Percentage (GF%).
