Bits and Bobs
...Marian Hossa is the front runner for the Cy Young Trophy, sporting a strong 21-10 record so far.
...Vancouver is the final EHEC team to not yet have 100 goals this season.
...my own T. Kuehnhackl now has 2 hits for his EHEC career. Wonder who the lucky victims were?
...Adam Gilmour (NYR) and Tyler Toffoli (WPG) are tied with 31 points atop the rookie scoring race. Sebastien Collberg (NAS) leads with 17 goals. Zemgus Girgensons (PHI) is the angriest rookie, with 112 PIM and 16 fights.
...Jordan Weal (PRO) sits atop the AHL scoring race, with 29-50-79; Toronto's Alex Galchenyuk is second with 33-43-76.
...Mike Rupp (BNG) and Santtu Huhtula (HFD) are neck-and-neck with 242 and 241 PIMs, respectively.
...Albany somehow managed another road win, leaving Lake Erie as the only AHL team with just 1 win on the road this season. (Although it's hard to say which is worse: 1-20-0-1 or 2-25-1-0.) Plus, both teams have solid home records, with win percentages over 65%.
...Props to Finland for winning gold at the WJC in Sweden, drawing attention away from Team USA's "Citizenship-Gate" involving Joachim Nermark. I'm going to call it and give Finland center (and Rangers prospect) Saku Salminen the tournament MVP with 15 points in six games, including four in the final.
[ARCHIVED BITS]
...with this update we bid goodbye to Jaden Schwartz, who managed to register one hit and TWO blocked shots over the past three weeks.
...BUF's Brock Beukeboom is now +27 through 25 games. It is TOO a useful stat.
...NYR's Tom Kuehnhackl registered his FIRST HIT EVER earlier this season. [Currently he's only -81 in HG/HT. Yay.]
...Special kudos to SJ D Nikita Zaytsev for getting three goals out of four shots so far this season. [He's now down to 3 out of 5.]
...Abbotsford's Alex Khokhlachev and Providence's Jordan Weal are averaging over 2 points a game in the AHL. [Well, not anymore, but they're still close. And yes, we see you Alex Galchenyuk. What the hell are you still doing on the farm?]
...Props to Santtu Huhtala for 98 PIMs in 20 games for Hartford. [152 in 31gp now. Still behind Angry Mike Rupp, tho.]
...Mega-props to the Manchester Monarchs and their 22-1 record. [They now have 3 losses. MAJOR SLUMP.]
...Nice: the Albany Devils are 0-14 on the road. [Now 0-18-1-0. And 11-2 at home.
]...I love EHM farm games because you get stats like Iowa having 51 goals for in 34 games.
...ROOKIE WATCH: Nashville's Seb Collberg leads rookie scorers with 20 points, and is the only one with over 10 goals.
