Personally I don't really care that much about the stats as I feel there are always guys that by every stat should fail but overcome that by pure will and grit. I just hate to see a robotic by the numbers league which will happen over time.
Second, if they were going to tech up the puck I would rather they put sensors around the outer edges of the puck or something like that to tell when a goal is a goal even if you can't see the puck. Tell if the puck crossed the line when the goalie is hiding it. I saw this just the other day...goalie sitting inside the net but couldn't call it a goal because you couldn't see the puck.
