points scored against

Clear as mud, yet funny at the same time.

Some days I'm not wholly convinced he's human...

yeah mine rarely is. For complex things anyways.

Thanks for putting laying it out nice and simple, Shooter

Some of it is still definitely due to luck and when you play a certain team and if they have a big week. But I think in the long run you would see good teams with less points scored and lower teams with more scored against.

We are up top because we don't have to play our own teams. All other teams have at least two matchups this season against both St. Louis and Vancouver. Vancouver only has two matchups with St. Louis and St. Louis only has two matchups against Vancouver. Those other two matchups are against some lower scoring teams.

Same goes for Boston. Every other team in the league gets two matchups against boston where they score little to nothing. Boston doesn't get those so the points against is going to be higher.

I find it funny that while both Vancouver and St.Louis are 2 of the top teams in the league the highest scoring teams in the league, they also have the least amount of points against... Vancouver least and St.Louis 3rd least, pretty close to 2nd least (30-pt gap).

Is it weak schedule vs. the bottom teams so far, or is it just that opposition don't bother setting lineups? Or just weird luck that whoever plays them has their "off" week that particular week.

Just thought it was odd.


On the flip side, Boston has the most points scored against them.
Not that Rob needs the help tanking, but that also jumped out as funny.

Gotta bring your 'A' game to Boston...

Anyone else find it weird that boston leads in points scored against them.
