Something I noticed about Hockey Reference's Playoff GSAA numbers today:
Ed Belfour Stats | Hockey-Reference.com
Take a look at Ed Belfour. Look at his season by season regular season GSAA numbers. Just to keep it simple, look at his FLA and SJS career totals. They match his single season numbers. Also, he was with TOR for just three seasons and you can see that his 24.6, 10.1 and -13.3 add up to his career total of 22.6.
But then look at his playoff numbers. His TOR GSAA numbers of 2.4 and -1.0 should add up to 1.4, but they come out to 8.6. His Chicago numbers add up to 27.5 but in the career totals line, they show as 40.9.
Same thing with Curtis Joseph:
Curtis Joseph Stats | Hockey-Reference.com
Regular season numbers add up perfectly. But in the playoffs, his EDM numbers add up to 0.9 but the career totals line says 9.5. His DET numbers should add up to 3.1 but they say 6.6. In TOR he adds up to 4.2 but the career line says 21.7!
Can anyone identify why the numbers come out like this? Is it a site glitch, a calculation error or is it somehow correct?
