So we probably have a pretty large bias toward blowouts.

Yes but the NHL also doesnt have this many teams just tanking.

This season there is a 100 point difference from 1st in the league and last in the league. It isnt like that in NHL. This is something where you just can't compare it to the NHL. Its asinine because the incentives are different from NHL to SHL. Also we are on an engine we aren't playing it on the ice. The players pride isnt on the line. Also the average Goals Per Game is completely different between the NHL and SHL, because in FHM we set the goals per game

and again, tell me the last time a NHL team has won 6 games in 1 season. Like toronto did this year
