Alright, so the other day I got curious about how many goals are usually scored in NHL final games. I mean, we all watch these games, screaming at the TV, but I wanted some hard numbers. So, I decided to dive in and figure out the average total goals in an NHL final game.
First, I needed to get my hands on some data. I started digging around, looking for game results. I figured I’d just find some websites that list scores, and then I can start compiling it all.
Collecting the Data
I spent a good chunk of time just gathering info. I found some sites listing scores, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a slog going through game after game, season after season. It was pretty tedious, writing down the scores from each game.
- Scoured various websites for NHL final game results.
- Manually noted down the scores of each game, which was quite the task.
- Started organizing the data in a simple way.
Once I had a decent amount of data, I moved on to the next step. It’s simple math, yeah?
Calculating the Average
With all these numbers staring back at me, it was time to crunch them.
It is a simple process.
- I added up all the goals from each game.
- Then, I just divided that total number of goals by the number of games I had looked at.
- It’s a simple average, but it’s helpful to see the actual number.
So, after all that digging and calculating, I got a * did give me an average. I have a rough number of the final * turned out to be a neat little project. I got to satisfy my curiosity and see the average with my own eyes.
