In terms of times short-handed they're 13th. Of course, they have an awesome penalty kill so that helps.RudyKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935847996131016457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-49962652857895019552008-08-11T21:41:00.000-07:002008-08-11T21:41:00.000-07:00Rudy wrote this post?

Good stuff, thats pretty interesting. <BR/><BR/>Of course, I think most teams should just not take PIM's period, and follow the model of my Wings. <BR/><BR/>And yeah, Dallas does give hits pretty liberally. Remember when Brendan Morrow got like a billion in a single game, think it was the multiple OT game against SJ this playoff? He finished that game with like 30some hits or something, and the announcers were visibly jerking off about it.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12892367633984292438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-14679633607436228652008-08-11T17:11:00.000-07:002008-08-11T17:11:00.000-07:00How many points did Scott Niedermayer score in the...<I>How many points did Scott Niedermayer score in the 4-game sweep 1995 cup finals (NJD over DET)?</I><BR/><BR/>BTW, we can call this search off.

Perhaps they would make better analogues?<BR/><BR/>Dallas is known for their liberal awarding of hits. Antti Miettinen racked up a 145 hit season 2 years ago, for example.<BR/><BR/>Morrow's PIMS have also decreased significantly over the years as he has become a leader and a first liner. I think he realizes that he needs to cut down on the penalties and I'd expect that trend to continue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-79526030259985579642008-08-11T15:37:00.000-07:002008-08-11T15:37:00.000-07:00Well, I guess nobody cares on Monday, either.Hey, ...Well, I guess nobody cares on Monday, either.<BR/><BR/>Hey, while we're all statsy and stuff, I have a question that hours of internet searches haven't been able to answer, maybe somebody knows how to find it:<BR/><BR/>How many points did Scott Niedermayer score in the 4-game sweep 1995 cup finals (NJD over DET)?<BR/><BR/>I'll get into later why I'm looking for that, but I can't believe that this is a question that stumps the internet, can you?Earl Sleekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843720035500316419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-36149057663380750692008-08-11T13:02:00.000-07:002008-08-11T13:02:00.000-07:00I don't follow Beauchemin that closely, but I thin...I don't follow Beauchemin that closely, but I think that's part of his job.

I'm not a guy who spends a lot of time examining the hits stat (seems subjective to me), but I think once you have a season's worth of data, the wrinkles sort of get ironed out and it's worth comparing the league leaders, as you did.<BR/><BR/>I don't think anyone's going to say that Komisarek or Morrow aren't valuable players, but this definitely shows an added asset that Brownie brings to the table. <BR/><BR/>Don't worry about the non-response, though, I've found that readers don't like thinking about numbers during the weekend. I know once I saw numbers I decided that it could wait until Monday.Earl Sleekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843720035500316419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-612293113409779432008-08-10T22:33:00.000-07:002008-08-10T22:33:00.000-07:00I guess I was right.I guess I was right.RudyKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935847996131016457noreply@blogger.com
