    Eric Nystrom is a god. His name will live forever, or at least as long as people watch Slap Shot.

    btw, I went to go see the Caps blow out the Bruins 10-2 on Monday.

    Ovechkin had a hat trick in the first period.

      Yeah, that Nystrom vid is amazing. TSN was airing a side-by-side comparison with the Slapshot video, and it's dead on.

        This is a cool stat: rebounds (and subsequent goals) against per team (season to date):

        Back in February we looked at which NHL teams were generating those precious rebound shots , dangerous offensive opportunities wherin a play...


        Calgary leads the league with 77 rebounds (tie with SJ). Vancouver has 83. Montreal 111. Ottawa 119. Toronto 120. Edmonton 124.

          What's even more interesting is how many goals were scored off rebounds. Chicago leads that stat, 17 goals allowed off 96 rebounds (middle of the road there). I wonder why that is?

            The Canucks continue to build momentum: 4 straight losses, and now Ohlund is potentially out for the season with "bone chips in his left knee".

              Erik Ersberg

              He may be LA's sixth goalie this season, but he may be a keeper after shutting out Ottawa with 40 saves.

                I'm not surprised about Montreal's bad number. Huet gave a lot of rebounds.

                  Price gives good rebounds. He seems to only give up goals on first shots, which is a mixed blessing.

                    Indeed Montreal's rebound-scored percentage is also decent, 31/111 or around 27.9%. That's slighly under Calgary's percentage, for example, 22/77 or 28.6%. So, Price/Huet give up significantly more rebounds, but are about equally good at stopping them to Kipper, for example.

                    I wonder if it's an element of goaltending style, also (Butterfly vs whatever the other one is? or something else?). You'll notice there is a cluster of teams aroun Montreal with 'good' goaltenders, but lots of rebound-shots, but a good goals-allowed-per-rebound percentage:
                    New Jersey (103/26)
                    Anaheim (104/21!)
                    Buffalo (107/24)
                    Montreal (111/31)
                    Carolina (113/32)
                    Philly (114/30)
                    Atlanta (117/33)
                    Pittsburgh (124/30)
                    Edmonton (124/33)
                    amongst a bunch of teams with much worse percentages of 30%+ (Toronto 120/41, Kings 144/50, Panthers 147/40, Ottowa 119/39, etc.)

                    Do some goalies play a style that involves giving up more rebounds, but are still good enough that they end up catching more rebounds? Or, are some goalies so good that they get to pucks that other goalies normally wouldn't get to, but as it's a very tough reach they end up giving a rebound as a result?

                      Another Vancouver game, and more douchebaggery...

                        Yes, the style of play has a big effect. The goalies that came from the San Jose School of Goalies (tm) coached by Warren Strelow (Kiprusoff, Nabokov, Toskala -- he also coached Brodeur in his formative NHL years) tend to have outstanding rebound control. Instead of old-school **** like stacking-the-pads, or lots of blocker saves, etc they're far more likely to be positionally very sound and glove the save down.

                          Yet Brodeur gave up quite a few rebounds (well, about halfway up the list, but a lot for a 'top' goalie)... is he just getting old and/or has a crappy defense?

                            The beginning of the season he wasn't that good at all. That makes a big difference.
