Has SAP messed up the NHL.com stats database?

Travis Yost believes they have...

Maybe I should see if my services as a SAP ABAP developer could come in handy in fixing the mess that the implementation team has created.

You should. But for the love of things great and small, just make sure nothing happens to the win-in-the-bank column.

One has to think that Hasso Plattner (co-founder of SAP AG software and current owner of the San Jose Sharks) may have had significant influence in getting the NHL to sign on the dotted line.

Why did Marleau suddenly have 57 goals this year to inflate his trade value?

Looks like anyone playing this season's data is FUBAR.

This is very disappointing if true.

Made-up and improperly compiled statistics are my least favorite kind.

It's a SAP SNAFU Kenny.

What about poorly vetted and non-corroborated statistics? I think we're going to need to see a whole list, D'stone.

I think the best is the promise of "sub-zero" search times - does the engine know what I'm thinking of and deliver it to me before I even type anything?

What I want to know is how do you mess up a relational statistics database? I've worked on pretty complicated SAP implementations (working on a complicated one right now) and unless you messed up royally in the blueprint and design phase, I don't see how this could be all that complicated. 30 NHL teams, add the rosters for each team, the statistical categories you want to capture and wham bam boom, you're done.

Wasn't he in 'The Running Man'? It fits because of the hockey angle.

Yeah, exactly. You would have to rebuild the infrastructure and I'm sure the scoring information coming from the arenas is in the same format and categories as it has been, soooooo...
