Too many misconducts
In playing out games in the current NHL season, I began to notice that misconducts seemed to be happening far too frequently. So I decided to check it carefully. In the real NHL so far this year, there have been 575 games played (up to and including Dec. 28), and 76 10-minute or game misconducts handed out. That is a rate of .13 misconducts per game on average.
In my simulation, I looked at all games played during December and counted 71 10-minute or game misconducts over the course of the 188 games played in December. That is a rate of .38 misconducts per game, which is nearly 3 times the rate observed in the NHL so far this year. It looks to me as though something needs to be adjusted. The only parameter governing penalties that users can manipulate seems to be related to the overall penalty rate. I don't know how modifying that parameter would influence misconduct calls. |

Yeah, sounds like we need to tune that down quite a bit. It's an internal setting, I don't have it handy at the moment but I think it's aiming for something in the .2's.

I can only confirm that there are too many of them in the KHL as well, it seems that the penalty system with regards to misconduts is the same. Every game you seem to have one or two 10-minute penalties. Of course counting them should give inferior results, but I guess the numbers would be very similar to the ones the author of the original post wrote.
