Game Notes

SJ
?Jones (13-10-1, 2.08 GAA, .920 Sv%) will likely start for San Jose
?Burns and Pavelski are tied for the team lead in points, each with 25 in 28 games
?After reaching the PPG mark last season, Jumbo Joe is on pace to have his worst season offensively since before the Y2K bug ended the world. He has 18 points in 28 games
?While he's always been known as a pass-first guy, Thornton's 2 goals in 28 games is still very low. Especially since both goals were scored with the opposing teams goalie pulled

TOR
?Andersen (11-7-4, 2.79 GAA, .914 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?No confirmation yet on whether Marner will stay on the 4th line for another game

You know, in an ideal world, Marner and Komarov would switch spots.

Thanks, Carlton.

One of the hockey podcasts (I think the TSN Analytics one) mentioned this about Thornton earlier this year. He was nearly not shooting at all for Oct/Nov.

http://www.tsn.ca/why-has-joe-thornton-stopped-shooting-the-puck-1.615855

This year, Thornton is currently at 27 shots in 527 minutes (28 games) or 3.07 S/60. Contrast that with a more familiar picky shooter with a similar career shooting percentage in Tyler Bozak: 49 shots in 441 minutes (27 games) or 6.67 S/60.

For funsies:

Player		GP		G		S		SH%		TOI		S/60
Alex Ovechkin		27		13		109		11.92%		506		12.92
Auston Matthews		27		12		97		12.37%		470		12.38
Sidney Crosby		23		21		78		26.92%		440		10.64
Patrik Laine		32		17		84		20.24%		589		8.56
Connor McDavid		31		12		92		13.04%		650		8.49

I am suffering from Deja posts

Schlemko and Vlasic both appear to be good to go tonight. That wouldn't be good news for the Leafs.

 

[cujo4ever]

Go Leafs Go!

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Vlasic misses out.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Burns busted our Hyman.

 

[disco]

Can anyone PM me the Yt link...

 

[bustaheims]

Burns busted our Hyman.

Nah. Looks like he's still in one piece.

 

[ZBBM]

Too bad Nylander is such a damn floater.

 

[bustaheims]

Hyman stays in one piece, and scores with just the tip. :-*

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Nah. Looks like he's still in one piece.

You ain't kidding.

 

[herman]

You know when Babcock throws out Hyman-Matthews-Nylander and Gardiner-Carrick on an OZ face-off that something fun will happen.

Great work by everyone on that line. Nylander especially.

 

[Kaberle15]

Hyman... oh well
