I hear what you're saying for sure, but by definition it wasn't.
I have recently had to adjust my thinking about appraising HDCs. Because this us an accumulated average over the season the number is simply not going to account for everything, but it does provide a pretty accurate picture of what a team is doing well ir poorly overall. The goal dor a team is to keep the "home plate" area clear, because it is, well, the easiest place to score from, and the most difficult place from which to prevent goals. When teams are taking care of that, then it makes sense if the only goals they are allowing are seeing-eye shots from the point, or bank-ins, tips and such at the sides of the net.
