Now compare the category totals :
Team G A +/- PIM SOG PPP Hits BkS
Team A – Balanced 73 187 -5 275 840 95 660 520
Team B – D-Last 73 160 +60 275 950 70 800 700
2: Goals/PIM are two very even categories.
2: Team A has a distinct advantage in Assists & PPP. + 2 categories for Team A.
4: Team B has a distinct advantage in +/-, SOG, Hits & BkS. + 4 categories for Team B.
Beyond this, let’s break these totals down by dividing them by 22 weeks of H2H schedule.
Team A: G=3.3, A=8.5, +/- = -0.2, PIM=12.5, SOG = 38, PPP = 4.3, Hits = 30, BkS = 24
Team B: G=3.3, A=7.3, +/- = +2.7, PIM=12.5, SOG = 43, PPP = 3.2, Hits = 36, BkS = 32
Anybody who is in a league with SHP as a category knows that just 1 SHP might win the week.
Lower quantity categories are more likely to result in weeks where the lesser-stat team might steal the
win.
Here, Assists would be won in a typical week by Team A by a score of 8.5 to 7.3.
But in any week, the assist totals of these players on either team may fluctuate by 0-3 assists.
Meaning… Team B is likely to win some weeks… maybe 30%-40%.
PPP would be won in a typical week by Team A by a score of 4.3 to 3.2.
But in any week, the PPP totals of these players may fluctuate by 0-2 PPP.
The same is true of Team B’s +/- difference.
