As we head in the pumpkin-fest of wknds one wonders if a stat the SFHL uses makes as much sense as weighting giant fruit? I ask you my readers what do you think about getting rid of this stat/cat in the future (13-14 earliest). Or do you reward this silly stat as you eat your pumpkin pie and drink you pumpkin latte you silly man.
Have your say does that mean a new stat/cat would take its place say Hits, Shotblocks, shots or even faceoff% um highly unlikely but one can never tell................

I would be all for taking it out. Adding a new stat might be tricky though. Perhaps adding a stat for points might be a good discussion. I know it's a useless stat, as we already have goals and assists, but it might help with the category weighting. I think I'd rather have points as a stat over GWG.

I agree. GWG is pretty arbitrary, really just a factor of G's. I have brought up the idea of PTS as a stat before and I think it has merit. It gives an extra boost to point producers, which is the name of the game, and takes a little bit of power away from stats like PIMs and +/-.

soooo, we want to balance the categories by taking power away from PIMS and +/-? Is that not doing the opposite? PIM's and +/- aren't the biggest factors, and help make a David Backes type one of the top performers.
If we are trading a useless category for another useless category, I'd say no. GWG has merit, has you see who is clutch. Points is taking 2 categories we have, and combining them. If anything remove goals and assists, and add Points. That way goal scorers and assist machines are the same. Plus gives us the option to gain a category, without losing much (if any) integrity.
If we put more focus on just points, we might as well ditch the SFHL and join the Shoreline Beacon hockey pool.

Yeah that's what I'm saying, that adding Points would create a little imbalance in the categories. I think the top scorers should reward GMs a little more.
And GWG has very little to do with who's clutch. A guy scores the 2nd goal in the first period of a 5-1 win and he gets the GWG.

Hey all, Yah pretty much above sums it up. That GWG isnt the stat I thought it was when I started up this league and looked at Stat/Cats....Melch no worries PIM's and +/- will always be in this fantasy league as it adds to the that "fantasy gming" but gwg is a lost art it is award to a player that scores the GAME WINNING GOAL late in the 3rd or OT its as per rack. I would love to add another fantasy stat that we can actually control in that we know whos the who who of those stats/cats...the talk is taking a stat that isnt a true stat anymore
