Justin, I must ask, do you still go around bars trying to convince people you're this Justin Azevedo, telling them you played for Kitchener in the OHL and represented Team Canada, despite being a different "shape" than one would expect from a pro athlete? I remember when you did that to me a couple years ago, in trying to promote how Flames Nation had tactical analysis above other sites because of your playing experience...weak.

Well that's my nothing contribution, other than agreeing with those - Justin included - who believe this to be a great measure of picking out players who correlate to losing, and that the stats that make up this measure are wildly inconsistent and misleading. I hope going forward the Oilers, Leafs, and Canucks aim to make their entire rosters consist of high "RGI" players, ignoring other more meaningful and successful measures.
