"Moneyball'ing" the Eastern conference playoffs


So yesterday I did the Western Conference and today I present to you the East. Again the basic idea was to see which team has the most playoff goals scored by players currently on their roster (So Mario Lemieux’s goals for the Penguins don’t count, however Sergei Gonchar’s goals that he scored for teams across the league count for the Senators).

Also the goals per game stat is really dumb. The reason it’s so seemingly low is because it’s player’s goals per game and not team goals per game. Also in the case of Washington for instance there are 37 games counted 4 times (37 for Semin, 37 for Ovechkin ... all the same games) ... so really it’s an exceedingly meaningless stat. Do with it what you wish.

Again, here is the East Coast overall playoff stats for players currently on their roster.

And here is an in depth look at every teams individual performers. Thanks for the read!
