Fun stat of the day

speaking of being DOMINATE... guess who leads the NHL with the worst the +/-? TEH PHIL at -38

 

Tyler Seguin's cap hit is tied for 64th in the league ($5.75) and he's tied up for 4 more years after this one. He's 12th in the league in scoring and has played 10+ less games than almost everyone ahead of him.

 

Here's the crazy ones list...

D-men: Blocked shots

Russell 259
Josi 204
Carlson 181
Orpik 170
Stone 170
Wideman 169
Markov 163
Brodie 160
Girardi 160
A.Greene 160

 

Top 10 in Points;

Crosby 79
Tavares 77
Voracek 76
Ovechkin 75
Benn 74
Backstrom 73
Hudler 71
Tarasenko 71
Malkin 70
Seguin 70

 

Bob? Where's Bob?

 

yes, where is bob? he helps drive this train.

 

Brandon Pirri

 

lol matty, i heard that stat last night, kinda - the stream was buffering like crazy - and i had to look it up. as i'm sure u know, it's 21 now, with those big TWO assists. talk about a team-first kinda guy

 

It's tougher this year to score goals to which the Penguins showed why on tape playing against opponents. All teams now build a house around the net so when a shot is taken , it bounces off a leg or skate or whatever. Very difficult for the puck to get through. All teams are using this system which is why scoring is probably down. Plus the fact that the ref's are not calling penalties for PP's as in past years........I highly doubt there will be a 100 point scorer this season........

 

NHL goals per game is exactly the same as it was last year and more than it had been the 2 years before.

Scoring is down. My wife's aunt Flo has a 0.00 C.A.A. against me this week.

 

I don't think anyone has ever gotten as many goals as Pirri with 2 or less assists. Maybe not even going as far as 5 assists.

 

ya, joe, i was stunned when i heard it, and my stream was buffering bad, and i was sure it had gotten garbled - till i looked it up.

 

I just checked under my blue tarp, you know, the one with various pieces of duct tape on it and he's not under there. I have no idea where he could be.

 

How about the Hits. Matt Martin broke the season records.

 

Bob? Bob! What have we done that deserves this punishment?

I hope everything is well with you. Hoping you're AWOL for good - and very fun - reasons.

 

An actual poll on some Buffalo site:
(I'm going to paraphrase these since it sickens me how low the fans have stooped. This is based on the fact that fans cheered Coyote goals at their recent home game. Meanwhile, the Sabres cited that as a major motivating factor in the following game in AZ - won by BUF.)

Are you planning to cheer Leafs' goals in tonight's game?
1) I won't cheer for the Leafs; it's wrong!
2) I won't cheer for the Leafs; it'll only motivate the Sabres.
3) GO LEAFS GO!
4) I'm so confused; I'm going to be silent at the game.

Believe it or not, only 25% voted for #1, and over 50% voted for 2 or 3.

Now I'm the one that's conflicted. Why do I root for a team that represents Buffalo? Their suckiness does not bother me that much - it does not embarrass me - you pull for a team long enough and you're going to experience the highs and the lows. But the fans are embarrassing me. STFU BUF fans!

 

I shoulda posted that message in the ditch where it belongs. That so many Sabres fans are assholes that this is not a fun stat.

Oh, BTW, the Sabres won tonight. Ha ha, losers!

 

upstart la kings fans and that team from boston fans are awful...at least we know of one buffalo fan that can belt out the goal chant (ugghhh)

 

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Let's go Bufffaaalooo!

Good times, Red, good times!
