Also, if a player is on a team that scores a ton, that palyer may simply be in a good position, riding the coattails of others (whether it's primary or secondary assists, or goals for that matter). Situation matters.
And that was another ridiculous point from Rikster, as they claimed that Brzustewicz is getting cheap, secondary assists from a 'powerhouse' team, when in fact, he is the leading scorer on the team, and only a couple other players are even close. Pretty neat trick to be the leading scorer on your team, simply by picking up cheap, secondary assists.
