Game 31: Toronto Maple Leafs @ Buffalo Sabres L5-4

[GhostofPotvin29]

Do you know how that compares with other PK ice time leaders in the NHL?

Using Behindthenet, I checked the on-ice powerplay goals against per 60 minutes of the top-10 forwards in PK ice-time, plus Dupuis and the other Leafs forwards:

Talbot: 7.04
McClement: 4.89
Hall: 6.97
Winnik: 5.28
Condra: 6.76
Smith: 6.88
Couturier: 5.92
Steckel: 8.44
Thompson: 8.48
Macenauer: 4.53

Dupuis: 6.59
Grabovski: 18.29
Brown: 14.07
Connolly: 10.23
Crabb: 8.39
Lombardi: 7.99
Kulemin: 7.79

Doing the work I was too lazy to do.  I knew there was a reason we kept you around.

I just finished exams, I am in no mood to do anything resembling 'work' right now.

Thanks, so he ranks quite favourably then.

Exactly. I added the numbers for the other Leafs forwards too after you posted if you want to see those.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Nice back check by Lupul there... Leafs have the momentum.

 

[Bender]

When do we start questioning the wonderful Allaire?

When we are part of the Leafs' organization and actually have a handle on how things are done?

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Frattin has had his best game as a Leaf IMO.

 

[Kin]

Frattin has had his best game as a Leaf IMO.

I'd agree with that. He's lacked for finish but he's been their most dangerous player 5 on 5.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Wish we would get a PP.

 

[Stronger Than All]

None of this matters.  We'll lose by a goal and the pos 4th goal will be the game winner.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Wish we would get a PP.

What's the point, Dupuis'll just find a way to mess that up anyway.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Well that sucked.

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink dudes.

 

[Kin]

The heck happened?

 

[Bender]

And that's the game. Christ almighty.

 

[Mikhail Bloodnovsky]

Reimer needs to stop a puck for a change.

I was looking up the +/- stats, in particular 'Powerplay Goals Against' for forwards on nhl.com.  For awhile, it had Dupuis tied with himself (and several others at 8 PP Goals against.)

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Wow, I didn't realize how brutal that crosscheck was until the replay. What a brutal non-call.

Oh, hey Grabs.

 

[Deebo]

Am I allowed to argue that should have been called crosschecking?

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man!

 

[lamajama]

We'll never be anything without a GOALIE!

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Seriously, that was a cross-check.
