Yes, I know how important an assist can be, but its still NOT the goal. I would give a point for a goal and half a point for an assist.

Gotta disagree completely, many times the assist should be worth more than the goal. Frequently the goal is the easy part. Hanging around the net and waiting while your teammates are busting their butts getting you the puck, enter Phil Esposito , a great example. His teammates would have excelled without him but without them he never would have had those stats. Statistics can be be VERY deceiving. I apologize since this is a vintage baseball board. See what you started Zone
