Let's say your beer league team loses a game 10-0... you played every other shift (30min) and were on the ice for 2 goals against, you're a -2.... that sucks, but you feel like you played a good game since you were on the ice for just 2 goals against when your team was clearly outclassed.   Wildcard: x = 30min TOI y = -10 (team goal differential at even strength, etc) z = -2  (your actual +/-) % of minutes played = 50% expected +/- = -5 team relative +/- = +3 !!! Yeah Wildcard nice game
