Do the advanced stats developed for the NHL game really all apply to the game that will be played in the Olympics on the larger ice? I would think faceoffs which should lead to puck possession would. But how do you make the appropriate adjustments for the different size ice...different angles? Even a guy who's a good possession guy on NHL ice, may not be the same on the rink with different dimensions.

Plus even the Oakland A's the Sabremetrics kings from Baseball, have won exactly 0 playoff series using that format. In a one game winner takes all scenario, perhaps you need to use the left brain and find guys with some of the traits that are tougher to quantify.
