WRT to the names of some of the "enhanced Stats" taking on descriptive names... EXCELLENT!
I wonder if the people (likely league employees way back when) who thought of measuring +/-, PIM, SOG, GAA, etc... are bitter the measurements weren't named after them? It's a stupid concept.
Imagine if Backlund has a Morrison of +3, with 5 Smith's and 64 Davidson's.
What about the people who pioneered some of the "enhanced stats" that already have descriptive names. Someone though of Zone Starts, but didn't plague it with their last name or some other cutesy name. Respect to these people who I suspect realize that it is and should be about the product on the ice.
