Zach6668 513 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 While looking at those stats, I'm surprised to see Ovechkin only has 8 PPGs. Crosby's got 9, and we all know how awful the Pens PP has been.Edit - Another funny observation. If the season ended now, Crosby would have more goals than Ovechkin, while Ovechkin would have more assists than Crosby. Kinda backwards. Link to post Share on other sites
sinc 0 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 http://www.nhl.com/ice/playerstats.htm?fet...;viewName=goalsYea thanks, I found it after I asked ... I am a donk. BTW Sid has 4 EN goals in his whole career, Ovechkin has 4 this year already.... Its a difference in game philosophy, ovechkin goes out of his way to pad his stats while Crosby just cares about winning. Link to post Share on other sites

He has the most this year, but its only 1 more than a big group. Last year he had the most too (5), but there were several with 4. Best part - 3 of PJ Axelsson's 6 were empty-nettings.He had 5 in the three years combined before that.So...maybe he takes an extra shot or two, but its not making a big difference.

For one, he's a winger, for two, he DOES float up a bit and cheat a bit on them (with his coach's blessing, I assume), and I would guess the Caps have more 2-goal leads than 1-goal empty net situations too, so he CAN cheat without it being dangerous.Plus he's a selfish SOB who only cares about his stats and not the teams.

Zach6668 513 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I randomly checked 2003-04 for a non-Ovechkin year, and the guy who led the NHL in EN goals was tied for 55th in total goals. It was Jason Blake, heh. Link to post Share on other sites

The 3 guys who tied for the league lead in goals (with 41, god bless the lockout), the most they each had was 3. Link to post Share on other sites
dEv~ 19 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Every Penguin Empty Netter this year.Jan 19 (NYI @ Pens) Evgeni Malkin (Brooks Orpik, Sidney Crosby)Dec 3 (Avs @ Pens) Sidney Crosby (Jordan Staal, Evgeni Malkin)Nov 30 (Pens @ Rags) Michael Rupp (Sidney Crosby)Nov 16 (Ducks @ Pens) Matt Cooke (Jordan Staal)Nov 3 (Pens @ Ducks) Matt Cooke (Jordan Staal)Looks like NHL.com gave Staal credit for one of Matt Cooke's empty netters as the pens are listed on there with 5 different guys having just 1 ENG.
