SAP was supposed to be powering nhl.com's foray into enhanced stats.
The evidence that they don't know what they are doing is mounting and the NHL is being conned.

19a. What do NHL employees think about the product? Here’s Andrew Thomas, league employee: “ ..What burns me the most isn’t at all "competition”: it’s extremely lazy work masquerading as professional innovation.”
19b. A second league employee: “Up there with the first Lindros trade and the 1988 game with linesmen in yellow practice jerseys, only worse because the league would have us believe it is now competent.”
19c. A third league employee: “Outrageously bad.”

In summary: there is no reason to go to NHL.com for anything related to hockey statistics. Their numbers are inaccurate. If not inaccurate, they are misleading. If not inaccurate or misleading, they aren’t capturing what they believe they are capturing. If none of the above, the site is a total hassle to maneuver through and the filtering/visualization looks like a child slapped the cursor on MS Paint a hundred times.
