TSN Player Rankings

Out East · 02-04-2013, 12:30 PM

I'm pretty much new here so probably this has been discussed in the past but I ws looking at TSN's player rankings for the season up to Jan. 31st and man does that list show how A: flawed their formula is or B: how useless stats are to truly show a players impact on the game. Markov is 82nd far behind Gallagher and many others, such as Tom Pyatt, yes the very same Tom Pyatt...

What is the point of even making such a meaningless list?

It got you to read it, right? That's the point, really.

The same Tom Pyatt? I doubt it.

"Big Pie" Taylor Pyatt with NY.

No, he's number 79 on the list. Tom Pyatt, Tampa Bay Lightning. The very same Tom Pyatt...

that's because we all seen how impactful Tom Pyatt was as a player when he played here

Lists are lists are lists.

They are meant to spark debate and kill time between actual game play.

Stats don't always don't always reflect the actual value of players.

When he was a part of the team, they won more with him in the lineup than when he didn't play. Take it for what it's worth.

Pyatt > Markov, AINEC.

The bolts getting all of our scraps Pyatt was not bad but he was soft as butter.

same with Markov.

Pyatt was a black hole for offense. He sucked in all offensive plays for both his team and the opponents. Playing him basically meant the game was 50min long instead of 60 because nothing would happen when he was on the ice for or against.
