Exactly right. That was my point.... the models favor what the the modeler thinks are overall good aspects of the game, things that win hockey games, and goals do that... it also records stats that can be recorded easily and not subjective - like you were on the ice when a goal was scored against. It also misses things that are very hard to record (subjective), like a players positioning while defending, or their ability of predicting the play - hopefully these things are translated into other stats and recorded that way, but they aren't always captured properly.
