No there are NOT more then 15 guys with more points then Zherdev.
WTF? Kozlov has 35 pts which I think you'll agree is higher than Z's 34. Every name above Kozlov has more than him, thus, meaning they also have more points than Z. If there are more than 16 names there then Z can't be 16th in scoring because there are more than 16 names ahead of him with more points.
You're the only person on the face of the earth who handles statistics that way. When will you be writing your first thesis or textbook to entirely change how statistics have been utilized across the world in every profession and every college/university class room?
Your tiebreaker analogy has nothing to do with your argument btw. Having two teams tied for 2nd place has no bearing on the following team being 4th in the standings.
Yes, there are 35 NAMES. And you can surely list them 1 through 35. But that doesn't mean you are listing them correctly according to their point values.
There are 16 different point totals. Not 35 different point totals.
Values and Rankings are two very, very different things.
I recommend enrolling in an Elementary Statistics class at your local community college.
Maybe then you'll understand the distinction between being ranked 35th in the league in scoring and possessing the 16th highest point value. It's that simple.
I don't even know where to start with this. Are you being serious where your trying to bring some sort of point values chart to try to explain to us how there arent more then 15 players with more points with him?
Seriously?
There are four players with 37 points (all more then Zherdev). Now are you trying to use some silly logic to tell us that only equals 1 person since thus not factoring in as 4 people ahead of Zherdev but only one?

Tell me again, WHY would Vanek have a higher point total ranking?
Don't worry about Vanek, just the players above both of them. Yes, there are only 16 numbers above Z, but more than one player can have that #.
It is correct to say that 'no player in the NHL has scored more than 16 points more than Z" because no player is above 60 pts
It is incorrect to say "z is tied for 16th in the NHL scoring race" because there are more than 16 names between him and the highest scorer (not counting people on the same points total as Z.
Clear?
There are four players with 37 points (all more then Zherdev). Now are you trying to use some silly logic to tell us that only equals 1 person since thus not factoring in as 4 people ahead of Zherdev but only one?

Im still debating if your being serious in this..
No, What i'm saying is that those four players with 37 points are tied for 15th in the league in scoring.
If there are 4 guys with 37 points, above Zherdev's 35. There is sill only one point value. Regardless.
He's quite possibly one of the worst coaches in hockey right now.
I'd like to see him go to the all star game to run the East's power play just to see if he still cant find a formula that leads to goals with the likes of malkin, ovechkin, crosby, etc
