Message: [QUOTE="Zack80, post: 4139215, member: 1245"] As you say strength of opposing offenses would matter. Also, there are lots of different types of possessions for the defense: -set 6 on 6. -man down, 2 man down, man up. -fast break, broken field - including FOs where the Face-off man wins cleanly and forward - and goes to the goal. -Clearing - here the opponent doesn't get the ball up to other end of the field even The number of these types possesions can be affected by the style of play of the teams. In the end, this will throw a lot of "noise" into your "defensive efficiency" statistic. [/QUOTE]
