ATOI is pretty pointless too because it is basically in every other stat. If a guy plays more minutes, he will score more goals, get more assists and take more shots.
The only difference is that +/- is in this league too, so if a player plays lots of minutes for a crappy team, his +/- will probably suck, so you lose out there.

This is kind of why I think GAA is a useless stat . A goalies GAA has 80% (or higher) to do with his team, where as save % is the true indicator of a good goalie.
It really seems like we hate most of the categories.

If you say that then the only stat that matters for goalies is save %. Wins are probably even more dependant on the team than GAA, because the goalie could stop 75 shots and let one by, but if his team doesn't score a goal he's fucked. Hell even save % depends on his team because they can make the shots a hell of a lot easier to stop if they do their job.
New league, all that matters is which team has the prettiest jerseys and which players get the most bras thrown at them.

It's funny how the person in first place is most willing to post the standings.

Hahaha, I gave Gibbons two weeks to post it again considering he normally takes the reigns on that (from what I've seen in other fantasy threads), but it's becoming clear that the fact he was in first may have been the motive.
