Thanks...And its Early, like Colin says when he's hot, You cant stay on that pace. I'll have my 0-3 "Comeuppance Day" and want to hide from the forum and twitter. Its not in my nature but I'll try and enjoy the run...
On the shots question...Wrong person to ask.... b/c I DO NOT like that stat. Seriously.
80% will disagree and will do so with STRONG, LOGICAL and Valid points.
I prefer SHOT % ...over time, over enough games.
Now, early on in the season SH% can be very misleading. So Early on the SHOTS stat will do.
But later, when we have 20 games worth of Data on each team, I wont even look a SHOTS...Give me a team w/ a Double Digit Shot % OR a Under 8.5% DEF Shot % and I'll take that over almost any stat.
Now, in fairness, 18 Shot vs 55 is Huge and rarely leads to a loss. But thats Why I hate the stat...
ITS NOT PREDICTIVE!
U either say, I believe wrongly, that CHI "Should have won" OR you say "The Goalie did a great Job and the CHI needs to increase the QUALITY of the shots.
Regardless, I see your point and don't think that will happen often.
