With the addition of @nykonax to the Outlaws management I thought I'd resurrect Nyko's A Lot of Shitty Stats Added Up post.  Actually it was Nyko's idea because I was looking for something to write about to get some money and I'm bored at work.  And since I am completely unoriginal I have no problem taking his great ideas and re purposing them as my own.  So lets get to it.

For a recap for those of you that don't remember, or are too lazy to click the link above to Nyko's original post, we are going to take a new look at player stats.  Everyone likes to lead the charts at some stat, but we can't all be CCII so lets slice up this pie differently.  My source data was @aaronwilson's SMJHL Advanced Stats Sheet.  I then pulled S51 SMJHL Skater stats and a sum of columns D through BD to get a total score.  Then took that score, divided it by minutes played, then multiplied it by 60 for a score per game stat.  This is what Nyko called the ALoSSAUItOMSS/60 forumula (A Lot of Shitty Stats Added Up Into One Mega Shitty Stat/60).

I did take it one step further and filtered out all players with <60 minutes played in the S51 season.  This metric is greatly influenced by play time and those with less than a full game played have a distinct advantage.  This ALoSSAUItOMSS/60 metric is extremely important so I didn't want to skew the results from players that deserve to be at the top of the charts.  This is serious business folks!

So without further ado:



Unsurprisingly the top score here is a player with 74 minutes of play time.  But once you get to #8 the MP really jumps up.  My boy @UrsinZ (the very same one that was snubbed on the Defenseman award this season #JusticeForUrsin) is the first one to break the 1,000 minute barrier.  I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but it's definitely a thing.  Keep that in mind awards committee.

Also @graders - please notice the wonderful formatting of that table.  Mybb is the worst when it comes to formatting data and I want to stroke out when I see a lot of these posts with random columns that I can't follow.  That shit takes time to look that good.  2x bonus maybe?? 

And here are the bottom 20:


I was expecting the best of the worst to have some monster minutes but Franciszek tops the chart with 635 minutes played.  This goes to show the robustness of this ranking method.  I definitely think this should be added to the Advanced Stats for now on.


Lets start our positional groupings off by Top 20 Centers:


Here we lead the list with a few fairly low minute players, but then it picks up again.  I see quite a few big name centers in this list as well as a few I don't recognize.  I don't know who Happy Gilmore is, but he must have picked up his game since I last saw him play in the mid-90's. 

The average Center score was 635.460 with an average of 767 minutes played.   

Please ignore the fact that the score isn't rounded to the nearest thousandth in here.  I forgot to do that and noticed after I formatted and I'm not gonna re format it.

Keeping with the forwards lets move to Top 20 Wingers:


So it definitely shows that Wingers are scoring higher than the Centers.  I thought maybe FOT would add to the stat and help pad the Center stats, but clearly it wasn't enough. 

The average Winger score was 643.093 with an average of 766 minutes played.   

And now to the ever important defensemen.  Before looking at these numbers I'm going to guess that they'll be a bit lower because of the MP division, but they do add in stats the forwards are not known to stack as much such as Hits, SBs, and PIMs.


Well it looks like the top scoring is lower than the top of the Winger category, the Defense wasn't nearly as low as I thought it would be.  Even with big minutes, thus a big denominator, the D is still strong (that's what she said?).

The average Winger score was 705.167 with an average of 880 minutes played.  That's some serious minutes fellas.  

Apologies to those of you who were tagged while I saved drafts of this message.  I didn't realize saving draft pings those that are tagged even though there is no where for them to go.  Stupid Mybb forums.


And before I hear from you goalies asking "Why does no one do stats on goalies?      " I'll go ahead and say it. 


No one cares
