No bias. Just that the guy hands out buttloads of giveaways for both teams. If you look through the stats you will see similar stuff around the league. One team's guy might give out a hit every time guys brush shoulders together in the corner. These stats are so subjective and poorly kept, they aren't all that useful IMO.

There are definitely differences from rink to rink.
I like the suggestion of only keeping the stats for road teams - that would normalize things quite a bit.
But at the end of the day, they are secondary stats and fans should be aware that there are discrepancies in the administration of them.
