Hense why +/- stinks. It doesn't say anything meaningful. It says you were on the ice when a goal happened... not whether you meaningfully contributed to that goal just that you were somewhere in the vacinity... whoopty-doo.

I get your point that counting shots gives more data points, but doesn't that also just say the player was somewhere in the vicinity?
