[Josh-EDM]

Chris Summers is a beast

[Singin the BLUES]

St Louis, best PK in the league, even in the AHL we are one of the best.

[Jungle Cats]

Playing in Florida and putting up that +/- has Granberg well outside Norris contention this year... Hot mess of goal differential we've got going on.

[Penguin]

How da hell is Stastny a turnover machine!

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Updated.

[Singin the BLUES]

Nice to NOT see any Blues in most of those categories

Spencer Martin might be coming up pretty soon too

[Vik (Habs)]

Boll ain't with Calgary anymore Bubbles. And I updated the team PP stats.

[Nero Avalanche]

nothing cool for AVS.

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Updated.

[Jets GM]

That goon Boll plays for Vik's goon squad now.

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Updated for end of season.

[SharksGM]

Most fights with no wins (aka the Wade Brookbank Trophy)
9 -- Ivan Telegin, SJ

I applaud the effort, anyway.

Honorable mention to this line: 1.9 -- Morgan Zulinick, DET (1 win in 52 attempts)

I have no idea who this guy is but I also applaud his tenacity. Only 4 minor penalties in 11 GP with a 13 (!!!) PE rating is impressive too.
