🧵 HOCKEY CLUTCH-TIME GOALS (CTG)
GWG👎 CTG🤘
I've been toying with CTG as a stat for a while
GWG has always been an issue for me. Is 1-0 goal in an 8-0 win truly valuable? I'd prefer better marker of clutch performance
Win/lose, who performed when it mattered most? (contd)
For me CTG is:
- scored in 3rd or OT only
- ties the score, puts team ahead by 1 or 2 (insurance marker)
Can a player score more than one CTG in a game? Why not! If a player puts his team on his back and scores tying goal twice in 3rd and the OT winner, that is super clutch
