So in the defense scoring do good teams pick up more goals in transition and have better power plays? Is there a goals off the rush stat somewhere
Its definately interesting but I think the cause needs some thought out into figuring out what this is really measuring.

Excellent point and I agree 100%.
But the fact remains that we have to get more from the D. Especially since the D is (theoretically at least) the strength of the lineup.
