I think I would actually need to know how they measure a win and a loss on a faceoff. A clean win back to the D on a power play (or PK for that matter) is a definite advantage, no one can argue that. A scramble win that ends up knocked around and out of the zone may be a win but it did nothing to help the PP.
I am guessing the face off win stat is subjective based on whatever stat guy is tracking that day? I guess where I am going with this is there must be "wins" that don't give much advantage...how many clean clear cut wins are there in a game??
A clear cut win on a PK or PP helps whatever team has it....there probably aren't very many of those through 60 mins.
