It all has to do with the number of shots attempted while you're on the ice and shit. I want to understand it better.
Apparently some analytics are trying to develop a WAR for the NHL.
Lester got held back by the lack of wins at the beginning of the year too. I believe he started 2-4.
And most voters unfortunately give a shit about the W/L record. Doesn't even matter, the Sox lowballed Lester, and he likely won't be with them next year.
