| Abstract: | Separate Poisson distributions were evaluated via several hypotheses tests for each of the 16 teams in the National Hockey League using 1973–74 goals for and goals against both home and away. After examining independence of goals for and goals against, they in turn were used to explain order of finish for the 16 teams. The results were quite surprising. |
