Why do hat tricks and Gordie Howe hat tricks count, but +/- doesn't? The first two will most likely be ties every week.

+/- is more about how good your team and linemates are as opposed to how good the player is.
HT and GHHT are to give credit to someone if they dominate a game

I get that +/- is a team stat, but still...

So players on the Blackhawks would have a huge advantage over those on the Coyotes

Why do hat tricks and Gordie Howe hat tricks count, but +/- doesn't? The first two will most likely be ties every week. +/- isn't a compare across teams stat. That's been shown 100x. Only an indictation of useage and play within team. Lots of other leagues out there use +/- so it's not like you'll miss it. Gordie Howes + Hattie's don't count on their own, they count with shutouts and are rare events when a single player is having a large impact on the game as a whole. This is recognizing that in the scoring. They also reflect the actual play of the player, not just on the ice for it to happen. Much like important goals (GWg, shootout and short handed points) - it's a less common stat remarking a play that changed the game. +/- was considered as a tie breaker, but ultimately the RC supported the tie going to the team with fewer GP.

Trial and error we thought this would be something different, more exciting and a better option than +/-. None of our decisions are ever unanimous but we put lots of effort and thought into them for whats best for the leagues as a whole. If it turns out we need to revisit it you can be assured we will. As always feel free to ask question and we will try to answer them and help explain stuff, even reasons for decisions. Cheers
