I know that. Because the adjustment is done by comparing players with their teammates, most of the worst rankings on those list come from strong teams. It is easier to look bad when compared to strong teammates. Glass played with the Pittsburgh Penguins, who were a good team. But it still says something when he was worst in the entire NHL last season.This is what happens when most of your teammates play large chunks of the season with Crosby and Malkin and you don't. Completely useless/pointless stat.
Last season Glass played mainly with Adams, Sutter, Vitale and Pyatt. Adams and Vitale bring nothing to the team. But Glass also failed to do anything with Sutter, despite Sutter being better than Adams and Vitale. The biggest indictment of Glass play, however, is that among the skaters who shared at least 100 minutes of ice time with him, every single one of them did better in terms of CF% away from Glass. And Adams, Vitale, Sutter and Pyatt were bottom-6 players. Maybe they saw some seconds with Crosby and Malkin, but those seconds didn't make their numbers.
At even strength, Glass had the third-lowest points/60 among regular forwards. He had the second-worst goals/60 among the same group. And he had the second-worst GF% on his team last year. His Corsi differential / 60 minutes of play and his fenwick differential / 60 were last among regular forwards on the team. His performance on the PK was ugly too. He was second-worst on the Penguins at limiting shots against while shorthanded.
In 2012-13 Glass played 48 games. He did 1+1 points and he has very poor possension numbers. Over the past seven seasons, Glass has a combined 41.4% Corsi Percentage for four different NHL teams. Tanner Glass numbers don't lie. I like his work ethic and toughness, but i don't like his overall game. Last word on sport listed this summer The top 10 WORST NHL Contracts Tanner Glass was in one of them.
But i have anything more to say about Tanner Glass in this Derek Dorsett topic.
