Czarnik scored 3 goals on 3 shots last night for a totally unsustainable(!) 100% shooting percentage.
If we normalize that to a more reasonable 10%, he would have only scored 1/3 of a goal last night. So what is everyone getting excited about?
Stats are great. Until you lose sight of what it is you're trying to evaluate.

I'm honestly not trying to be a wet blanket on Dube, I think he has a bright future.
But what the 40% shooting percentage and the underlying stats both say is that Dube has been pretty fortunate in the preseason to date and may not be the lock that everyone thinks he his.
Last night he didn't get anything done, but it was an odd game with a lot of penalties and it certainly seemed like the China group ran out of gas making the last half of the game sketchy.
