Official does not mean correct, when it comes to scorers

By Tangotiger, 10:23 AM

I love the effort put in here.  When you see such wild inconsistency, with no second-level quality check, what does the data really mean?  Increasing sample size does not reduce bias, if you are aggregating on the thing you suspect bias on.

To me, it’s extremely disappointing that the NHL does not care enough about its data recording that they don’t have a more robust system in place.
