The PensNation will feature all of my thoughts and goal assessments after every game. Thank you for reading this blog!! I'm not shutting it down completely yet, but it will likely only be used for random posts moving forward while regular features will be on the other sites. Thanks again!<div>

<br />
Quick recap for those new to my blog: Throughout this season, I have dissected every goal (for and against) to determine who contributed to goals for and who is at fault for goals against. I have provided a game by game recap and have kept a spreadsheet with the season totals. This all started because I hate plus/minus as a stat. It's lazy and doesn't actually tell you what is going on for any shift and which players actually did something right or wrong.<br />
<br />
I have included powerplay goals for and against because I see no reason players shouldn't get credit (or fault) if they had a hand in a scoring play. Additionally, players in the penalty box during a powerplay goal against automatically get a minus for putting their team down a man.<br />
<br />
The NHL +/- stat is next to my +/- stat for comparison's sake. With the recent additions the Penguins have made, I am going to keep track of their NHL and my +/- rating only with the Penguins.<br />
<br />
In every post on this site, I will give the full explanations for my goal assessments. Additionally, you can find my post-game thoughts and analysis at The PensNation. Thanks for reading!<br />
