I've mentioned this for several years in a row, so hopefully, we have enough new blood to make a change. I have disliked the PIMS category as an "average" since Day 1 in the OOHL. We don't take the average from goals, assists, PPG's, you get the point, so why PIMS? In 7 of the 8 categories, we are rewarded for the most or the best, so why do we have a category that no GM could possibly prepare for? Need SHG's, get a penalty-killer. Need goals, pick the guy available who has the most. Need to get more PIMS, but wait, maybe next week you'll need less, based on the randomness of the other 13 teams. In EVERY other league I've ever seen, most PIMS is rewarded because you have a guy who still produces points AND PIMS. If you think it makes this category easy, p/u a goon because you're low and you'll hurt your scoring stats. If you think I'm only bringing this up because my idiots are taking a lot of penalties, you are wrong. Barry, please tell anyone who asks, the truth. I have mentioned this a lot, from the beginning. This is the ultimate power forward category. We are not trying to be average in any other category. Why this one? Talk amongst yourselves. Dave w/The Ridge.

I would also like this rule, but I think for this season we should keep the average PIM until next season for the most PIM's rule to go into effect. It would put teams to a disadvantage this season if we do end up making this rule. |

I like the idea of doing PIMS based on the most PIMS is the #1 spot and rank the teams lower. It makes the category more useful and easy to plan for. Try to win that category and good luck scoring well in the rest of them.
I could handle eliminating the PIMS category all together next year and maybe replacing it with Game Winning Goals or even Shots on Goal.

We can consider this during the off-season, as Jeff said. A couple of questions to think about, then: - For some measure of realism, would a team rank higher with more PIM or less? A team that's constantly in the box is surrendering a lot more PP opprtunities, and consequently goals, than other teams. A team that takes few PIMs might have been intimidated in the old NHL - does that still hold?
- If this change is instituted, how should the playoffs finals be restructured? This changes would essentially mean that we now have an 8-game playoff final instead of 7. 4-4 ties are entirely possible, even likely. Are you content with the idea of the cup being decided more often on the basis of shooting percentage?
It's easy to suggest changes - what takes some effort is thinking through the implications of the changes. Make sure you've done that before pushing for any changes. |
