The Portzline Evaluation Formula

From Aaron Portzline at the Columbus Dispatch,
Warning: Once you’ve read this and studied all the numbers, the rest of the NHL’s regular season will be a mere formality. The Stanley Cup playoffs, too, for that matter.
The Portzline Evaluation Formula was dreamed up nearly three years ago in the hallucinating cold of Edmonton and fine-tuned this summer in Toronto with the help of a sudsy friend named Alexander Keith.
It is a gloriously subjective and simple way to evaluate each of the 30 NHL teams and, thus, predict how the 2007-08 season will play out.
We’re publishing it now (yes, it’s copyrighted) so we can say ‘We told you so’ next June … when the Detroit Red Wings beat the Ottawa Senators in the Stanley Cup Finals.

That’s one of the dumbest things I have ever read. Might have made a little more sense if he had included the calculations. But even if he did, he still admits that he adjusted the numbers based on “potential,” which means that he substituted a subjective analysis for an objective statistic.
Completely useless.
