2 Minute Minor
Hi Keeba!
Are there more players at a PPG pace 1/4 of the way into the season than in recent years? It feels that way to me, but I don't usually follow this very closely.
I was wondering whether the way stick infractions were supposed to be called would allow skilled players to be more dangerous. But after the first couple weeks, the penalties for stick infractions resumed prior years' rate. Maybe that's the players adapting to some degree, as well as the refs tolerating more than they did in preseason.
So are we seeing an effect? Or is it just that my team has guys scoring at PPG pace for the first time in forever so I'm noticing now?
