My feeling is that yes some shots are meaningless, but really, think about it, how many are actually meaningless? How many shots on goal a game are to get a line change? Generously 1 a game, on a sample of 60 to 70 shots.

Doing a quick look at shots for games yesterday, these were the results of shots from the neutral zone or defensive zone:
Jets vs Wild: 6
Sharks vs Cans: 3
Panthers vs Ducks: 5
Hawks vs Stars: 1
Habs vs Wings: 2
Oilers vs Yotes: 1
I just think there may be improve things by setting a standard on what data points to use. That is all I am trying to say. Is 3% over a course of a year worth overlooking (based on 82 of these events over shots 2500 SA for the season). Completely just ball park numbers and completely change if you just factor 5v5.
