But it is "objective" only insofar as ricardodw has selected those events that
he has interpreted as indications of grit. I believe that his selection is arbitrary and impressionistic, and quite simply boils dow to this: When he watches hockey games "gritty players" are those players who hit, block shots, and are the beneficiaries of more take-aways than they are victimised for giveaways. It is a metric built on a handful of one observer's favourite qualities in a player to the exclusion of virtually everything else.
