Default Re: Regarding players\' point scoring in Hockey

[ QUOTE ]
You're forgetting the times, when a player dances around everyone and then feeds another player for an easy tap in at the side of the net. Or when he takes the initial shot and someone pops in a rebound. Also what you guys are missing is dmen who move the puck really well and are good at breakout passes would not get the recognition or credit they deserve. The point system is fine the way it is. As someone had previously mentioned changing the way points are awarded would definitely cause players to pass less, so their stats are bigger and they get bigger contracts.

Yads has made an incredible cross-ice feed to the correct for an easy tap-in!

There's just too many cases where the guy credited with the first or second assist did the majority of the work such that the point system is the best the way it is currently.
