Hi guys, I’m new to the forum. Been browsing/lurking for quite a while but this is my first post.
I wanted to know peoples thoughts on the accuracy of point allocation in the EIHL compared to say the NHL or other major leagues.
What I mean by this is a quick look at the game sheets for games in our league show nearly every goal that is scored being credited with two assists.
Looking at games in the NHL KHL etc.. there seem to be a lot more unassisted or single assisted goals in comparison.
I know we don’t have the luxury of the technology that other leagues are able to call upon but it does make me think that player ability and standard of league aside, players in the EIHL would not rack up as many points as if they were playing elsewhere as what is constituted as an assist or secondary assist seem to more closely scrutinised than they are in the EIHL.
In other words are we too kind to players when it comes to points allocation?
Just a personal observation to keen to hear what other people think?
