Around the NHL 10 - 2022/23

I don't know how Bob does it, he is completely awkward looking but it's working.

He stands on his head.

Bobrovsky remembered he's a goalie in this playoff. Leafs playing well enough to win both games but they're running out of runway.

Well, everybody except their goaltender that is.

Probably missed the trash can

Giant Killer Paul Maurice continues to wreak havoc against the NHL’s elite.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

Calling Bobrovsky mediocre for the first 90% of the regular season is an insult to mediocrity everywhere. Now, he and his goal posts are looking really, really good.

The truth is somewhere in the middle will probably present itself before the playoffs are over.

Maurice nailed it in his post game interview. Toronto media freaking out over the Knies "hit" feels like they haven't been watching any of the other games this post season.

Probably didn’t hit the floor ….

I don't know when but I on these years they will start to grandfather full face shields for players coming into the league

I've resisted a full cage for a long time but I'm getting tired of my yearly repairs because someone can't control their stick.

I've been playing for 35 years and I can't count on one hand the number of times I've clipped someone

Knies is going to be a good player but I’m not sure he should of been put onto a playoff roster from the get go

I thought he came in when Bunting got suspended and they liked his game enough to keep him in the lineup. Regardless, your point still stands.
Kypreos called his potential injury a possible turning point in the series for Florida . f*** that guy has taken way too many shots to the head. He’s also just desperate to say shit to stay remotely relevant.

Thought Dubas was going to cry, better get that resume ready if the Leafs lose this series

I hope those dumbasses run it back with Matthews going into his lame duck year

To many good D years. Add montour, Hamilton, dahlin, hughes, hesikanen all above 70 pts. and h.lindholm to that mix.

I wonder the last time 8(!!!) dmen had above 70 pts. And Karlsson +25 gap is the largest 1st vs 2nd place gap since....??

Just 5 years ago, John Carlson led d scoring with 68.... That'd be 9th this year with a couple (makar, Josi) have a superior PPG.

OK so looked into this a bit since my curious mind was interested.

8 dmen achieving 70+ pts is the most since 1993-1994. The highest all time appears to be 1992-1993 with 9. Last season there was 5.

Previous 10-year average: 2 players/year... Neither covid Division or lockout year considered in this.

Karlsson also had a +25 gap in 2011-2012 on 2nd place. +25 is the largest gap in since 1988-1989 (+38... Coffey/Duchesne)

Seasons where 8 or more defensemen had 70 or more points in a season:

2022-23 (8)
1993-94 (8)
1992-93 (9)

That is all...this is a real outlier year for the sheer number of defensemen who put up big numbers.

Seasons where the top scoring defenseman beat the runner up by >25 points:

2022-23: Karlsson 101, Morrissey/Hughes 76 (25 point gap)
1985-86: Coffey 138, Mark Howe 82 (56 point gap!)
1984-85: Coffey 121, Bourque 86 (35)
1983-84: Coffee 126, Bourque 96 (30)
1978-79: Dennis Potvin 101, Salming 73 (28)
1975-76: Dennis Potvin 98, Jean Potvin 72 (26)
1974-75: Orr 135, Dennis Potvin 76 (59)
1973-74: Orr 122, Park 82 (40)
1972-73: Orr 101, Lapointe 54 (47)
1971-72: Orr 117, Park 73 (44)
1970-71: Orr 139, Tremblay 63 (76!)
1969-70: Orr 120, Vadnais 44 (76!)
1960-61: Red Kelly 70, Doug Harvey 39 (31)

So if you're ever wondering how dominant Orr was...in 1969-70 and 1970-71, you could have divided Orr's points by 2 and he'd still have placed 1st and 2nd in defenseman scoring for those seasons!

Orr was 26 at the start of the 1974-75 - the year he beat Potvin by 59 points. He'd only play 30 more NHL games after that...

see post #6043

11-12: karlsson (78) and Buff (53) also had a 25 pt gap as well (not sure if you were looking strictly above 25 pts). think you're also missing coffey/duchesne 38 pt gap (113 pts vs 75) in 88-89.

the Orr and Coffey numbers were just stupid.

These guys creeping all over Jackie Redmond on NHL Now.......uggghhh. So disturbing.
