Mid-Summer Stats!

Team,
Check it out. With the reduced workload of only one squad to keep track of the Schlidaveur International Statistics Division seems to be up and running again.

So below you will see a summary of the numbahs so far this summer.
We are roughly halfway in now that we have 8 games played.
I believe you can click on the image to make it more reader friendly.

Midseason (kinda) Stats

Ok team some of you were grousing about a statistics update... so after spending some quality time with my spreadsheet on the train this morning... here you have it.

So we have played probably more than half of the games for each team or close to it so well call this the mid season number. Check out the race going on between Roman and Nelson for the top spot. Check out Daley and Reynolds lurking just behind them. Should be a good one again this year to see who gets the top spot.

Also Marc Valenti for all of his "I'm taking the Campbell Award this year" bravado is only tied for the lead (with Larry) and clearly has some work to do yet to "take the title". That one should be good too.

So the Cadavers have played 15 and the Schlitz 17 games. The Cads are holding on at 7-6-2 while the Schlitz have fallen in it a bit at 5-11-2.

The Keepers are hanging in there despite a tough season so far and have the following numbers. Brian Carey 7-7-1 3.87GAA. and Lizzy 3-9-1 4-54GAA. Jim Sullivan is 1-0 1.00GA and Kilroy is 0-1 6.00GA.

Alright thats it for now... Remember the Cadavers have a game on Monday night vs the Tigers at Milton Academy 8:50pm

So far this is who we have playing. ?s are unresponded.

Roman?, Matvey, Campbell?, Jeff, Scott, Larry?, Elliott, James, Valenti, Slate?, Capraro, Reynolds

Rosters Stats and stuff...

Team. We have a couple of games coming up at the beginning of next week.

Here are your Rosters for those games.

LOBSTERS VS SCHLITZ

Mon, Nov 24, 2008

BU 10:10 PM

Roman, Matvey, Ijosh, Ken G, Stefan, Gregson, Dan H, Elliot, Kevin, Mark R, Mike F, Mike D, Ken D

Goal TBD

SITNIKS VS CADAVERS

Tue, Nov 25, 2008

CANTON 10:20 PM

Campbell, Nelson, Jeff, Scott, Larry, Jasse, Hammitt, Greg J, Blake, Marc V, Chuck, Carl

Goal TBD

Also we have a stats update from the early part of the season. The Cads have played 7 and the Schlitz have played 9. This includes the 3 'daveurs so far this season. Both teams are 1-1-1 in the three 'daveurs which is nice and even.

The Cads are treading water at 3-2-2

The Schlitz are sinking at 2-6-1

Remember everyone makes the playoffs for winter season so there is no need to panick. Of course it would be nice to get both teams to .500 or better by the end, but we won't get greedy. That may be a tall task for the Schlitz regardless.

Now... for your scoring leaders.

Kurin, Roman GP8 G6 A3 Total: 9 Pts PPG 1.125
Bell, Larry GP7 G6 A2 Total: 8 PPG 1.143
Nikhamik, Matvey GP7 G2 A5 Total: 7 PPG 1.000
Sharfman, Nelson GP7 G2 A4 Total: 6 PPG 0.857
Daley, Mike GP8 G2 A3 Total: 5 PPG 0.625
Greenstein, Josh GP9 G2 A3 Total: 5 PPG 0.556
Moorachian, George GP8 G1 A3 Total: 4 PPG 0.500

There are ten players that have 3 points...

Including Ken Goldenberg with 3 goals (better than most of that list above...).

Also keep in mind that OSW (the original stat whore Larry) had 4 goals in the Clinic game, while the NSW (new stat whore Roman) had 3 in that game. Take those away and things would look much different...eh?

Also notable are steady veterans Nelson, Matvey, and iJosh making solid contributions as always. Likewise its nice to see Daley and Capt. George in there making a run at it. Should be an interesting season for sure.

Here's your penalty leaders.

Larry 5

Valenti 4

iJosh, George, and Campbell with 3

Matvey, Pearlman, and Reynolds with 2

The pic at left was a favorite last year... just figured I'd throw her in this week.

End of Season Stats and Playoff Info

Well Team here we are at the end of another Regular Season.
I've collected some stats in case you are interested.

These are not the final numbers so no official awards at this time, but finishing first for the regular season in any catagory is worth a mention.

Mad Props go out to Nelson Sharfman. The dude is a serious machine. Breaking out from an injury riddled winter season Nelson has gone on a virtual tear. In a measly 11 games the Cagey Veteran has racked up 24 points for (has to be) a 'daveur record PPG of 2.182! Holy crap. To get a handle on this look down the scoring leader list to the next guy that only played 11 games.
....did you look?

That would be Sophmore Chuck Slate in 14th (!) who had a solid year with six points (3 goals). Chuck had a good year and has been a nice addition. What does that make Nelson?
Badass.
Great season Nelson... hope you get a bunch more in the playoffs.
'nuff Said.

Second in scoring is Roman Kurin who has also had a nice year just percentage points ahead of Kevin Parker who also has 19 points. Pretty amazing what Parker has done given that he spent a week in the hospital in the last month of the season with a staff infection in his knee. That dude is a warroir. Places 4 through 6 are all tied with 15 points, Rookie Mark Reynolds, Jim Sullivan, and old friend Larry SW Bell. Great work by one and all.
*Edit... had to update numbers for LB and GM so the sheet has new totals as of 8/18*

In other news Mike Campbell seems to have the Campbell award wrapped up with another solid outing a full 5 penalties ahead of former 2 time champ Mike Hammitt. Look down the bottom of the list and I think we have a nice list of Lady Byng candidates for guys who have the most games played without a penalty. Led by Dand Gregson who is PIM-less in 17 games. Great work. Scott, Jeff, Elliot, and Sully round out the top 5 Byngers.

I've also included the stats from the Schlidaveur contests to show who has been racking it up in the in house games. Check out Parker's dominating 10 points in the 6 games. Also check out Lizzy's numbers in 'davuers. Even though she gave up 18 goals, she was 2-1-1 with a 4.50 GAA... which is pretty good considering the first 'daveur she gave up 7 in a tie. Lizzy has had an up and down return season with our clubs, but she has fought hard and is finishing strong. All in all she ahas done a good job replacing the Bitch that Shall Remain Nameless.

The teams finish up just over and just under .500. Cadavers 6-7-2 and
Schlitz 8-6-1. The Schlitz will be Larry's squad from the 'daveur on Tuesday and will tackle the Olympic Division for the playoffs. That means possible opponents are the Blues, Inglewood Jacks, Sitniks, Scapegoats, Last Call, or CH Terriers. The Cadavers will be Campbell's team from Tuesday and will play as the 2 seed in the Stanly Cup Division. Possible opponents will be Tigers, Double Runners, Deep Freeze, Windsuckers, and Shock. That division has some games scheduled already over at NESHL.


It looks like Cads will play the Windsuckers on Tues 8/19 @ 10:40 in Canton, Sunday 2/24 @ 8:10 in Canton against the Double Runners, then Monday 9/8 @ 10:20 in Canton against the Shock. If record allows the Championship game is on Monday 9/15 @ 9:00 in Dedham. Stay tuned for Schlitz and Olympic Division dates and times.
As per Mike Campbell's email Management will try to change that date so it wont confilict with Hockey at the Beach, currently scheduled for that same night at Duxbury Beach.
*Stay tuned to your email and the blog for updates and changing times. *

One last thing for a Friday... here is "Bruise of the Season" on CEO BMF Matt Kilroy's leg. This one came courtesy of his own teammate (can't remember who) on a clearing shot that found his leg instead of the neutral zone. Owie.

Suds vs. 'suckas Tonight and Stats

Schlitz (11) vs. Windsuckers

Tuesday July 22nd

Quincy Youth Arena 10:10pm

Ok Team. A matchup with the Windsuckers in the Big Q tonight. The 'suckas have been struggling this season so far with a 1-9-1 record to date according to the website. We haven't played them since last winter, but as I recal the games were usually pretty good. See our history with the WS right here.

Regardless... lets get a good showing. Someone remember to bring some beer. because the usual beverage providers are not on the squad tonight. Also someone on the roster should have a set of water bottles and pucks, as no one did on Sunday night.

Good luck and don't forget the scoresheet.

The blogger expects a full breakdown in the morning.

Roman
Ijosh
Ken
Larry
Bill
Hammitt
Dan H
Greg
Chuck
Mark R
Jim
Brian in Net

So as a bonus I give you some 2/3's Stats. Each team has played 10 games (including 'daveurs) and we can probably expect a maximum of 5 more games each until the playoffs... maybe less.

The Cads are floating along at 3-5-2 but are 3-1-1 since the last week of June. The Schlitz are 5-4-1 but are only 1-2-0 this month. Both teams look to be entrenched in the middle of their respective D divisions and hopefully both will make the playoffs with no trouble.

As always click the page to make it readable. Check out the scoring race this season. Roman is making a serious run for the title with Nelson and Sully hot on his heels. Lots more guys withing striking distance before the end of the season too. Good luck to one and all.

One more note... according to Lizzy at the Sunday night game, our teamate Kevin Parker has been spending some time in the Hospital with a Staff infection in his knee. Our thoughts are with you buddy... and we hope to get you back on the ice soon. Get well soon Kevin.

Lizzy... give managment an email updating his condition when you can please.

End of Season Stats

Fresh from the Statistics office here at Schlidaveur International....

End of season stats

....for all those interested.

This is all playoffs and everything, basically all games played since October.

As always click to enlarge the stats page.

Another great season for scoring Champ Larry Bell. With continued dominance like this management will have to consider naming the scoring title the Bell Award. A nifty 39 points in 30 games played. Larry racked up 18 goals and 21 assists in what could be a franchise record in scoring. Our statistical department is still working on that...
In the second spot, also familiar to the leaderboard is veteran presence Nelson Sharfman, who, in just 24 games played scored a scorching 34 points (a 1.417 ppg!) on 16 goals and 18 assists. Nelson clearly means business when he plays... and gets results.
This brings us to third place in scoring but clearly Rookie of the Year Mike Daley. 29 massive points for Mike, a major contributor to this years teams. Daley had 16 goals and 13 assists and countless great shifts. Nice work all season... of course now he's taking the summer off... but we'll be sure to see him again in the fall for the 08-09 campaign.

Spots 4 and 5 are more familiar faces with iJosh coming in just percentage points ahead of Roman Kurin, both veterans finishing with 27 points. Roman played 2 more games than iJosh thus lowering his PPG figure. Great work by both guys all season long.

Places 6 through 10 are as follows with Matt Elliott(25), Chris Fosdick(19), Matvey Nikhamik(19), Dan Herbert(18), and Mike Jasse(17) rounding out that group. Great job by all the top ten scorers.
Just a quick shout out to the goalies....

Mike Gash continued his tremendous work with 22 games played and a paltry 1.91 Goals Against is really some good work. Thanks again Mike.

The Stats department apologises for not having numbers on Chuck Slate, and goalie Brian Carey broken out. They've gotten mixed up in the substitute catagory with a few other players given that they joined mid season. Both guys were solid contributors and we look forward to having them around for a while.

Now to the dark side of the stats sheet.... The(Bi)Annual Mike Campbell Award goes to... that's right... Mike Campbell. After finishing second the last two seasons, Mike claimed his Award back with avengence this season racking up 19 penalties for a whopping 28 and a half minutes of time and one ejection on the year. Some solid work, especially with the usuall suspects right behind him, Larry Bell with 14 whistles and 21 minutes of his own, and Mike Hammitt former 2 time Campbell Award Champ coming in 3rd with 13 calls. Another sensational rookie Marc Valenti showed that he's bound to be in the running for this award down the road with a nice 9 penalty effort.


I've also attached Playoff Stats, and Schlidaveur Event Stats just to see how everyone did against each other and in the clutch.

Stats update for all you 'ho's!

Ok Team. Here's the scoop. One game left for both teams, 23 played for each. So there is still technically 2 chances left to "pump up" your numbers, or close in on the coveted Mike Campbell award, if infamy is more your thing. We'll do another update for "end of the regular season" and then one again for the playoffs.

Some interesting things to check out here as the race for points leader comes right down to the wire. Sorry about the bad photoshop... it was all I had time to pull off. Nice rack Larry....

Perennial favorite Larry Bell holds onto a 2 point lead in the top spot, after a relatively slow start, with an impressive 29 points in 23 games played. Right behind him, and well within striking distance, is the preeminent Cagey Veteran Nelson Sharfman with an even more impressive 27 points in just 18 games played. That's a wopping 1.50 Points per game. Not bad for a guy who has been fighting injuries all year.
Also lingering close by is rookie Mike Daley who has had a very nice season so far with 26 points in 22 games.

As always... click to enlarge the stat sheet.


Rounding out the top five are another pair of capable veterans Roman Kurin (25 pts) and iJosh Greenstein (23 pts), are both capable of coming up big and making a run for the top couple spots.


Over on the infamy side of things, check out Mike Campbell showing his dominance in the race to reclaim his namesake award. This one went to Mike Hammitt the last two seasons, but Campbell clearly had his heart set on this years award going to the sin bin early and often. Meanwhile Larry is close behind in his quest to lead everything, and rookie Marc Valenti looks like he could be a force for seasons to come in this department. He's done a nice job competing with the established guys for the PIMs race. Hard to believe but Hammitt has dropped out of the top five here, surpassed statistically by Greg James and Billy Pearlman, all of whom are capable of adding to their totals in the final week. This one is worth watching too.


I'd like to drop in a quick note on the goalies. Mike Gash (OEJ) continues to be the horse, doing nice consistant work all year sporting a nice 10-4-3 record with a 1.94 GAA. Those numbers are as good as you can ask for in this league, and we appreciate your good play Mike. Matt Kilroy continues to develop despite some difficult nights, and it is something to say that his GAA is under 5 given that he played in 13 games and a few got out of hand. Clearly he will be improving on his record as he continues to develop. Great work. The Substitue goalie collumn includes all of the various fill- ins so I wanted to break out Brian Carey's numbers because he's done some nice work for us lately too. In 6 games played for us he is 3-2-1 with a 2.50 GAA (again... just about all you can ask for in this division). Granted he had 2 games against clinic teams, but he also faced our toughest opponent of the year the Golden Gophers, and the Tigers twice. So good work all around, and nice to have you aboard Brian.

Let's keep in mind that the playoffs are around the corner. As per usuall we probably won't get a schedule until just before the games are played... sometimes as close as 48 hours away. It is possible the league will schedule us during the week of that last game coming up.

There are the last two games, The Schlitz play Wednesday 3/26 in Canton @10:20 against the Lobsters, and the Cadavers play Monday 3/31 in Dedham at 10:10 against the Deep Freeze. We could really use both games to gain some momentum going into the playoffs. Check your email for rosters, we'll do a doublecheck at the begining of next week.
Also remember that the Good looking/Bad looking teams are set for the playoffs. So if you played for the Cads in the last Schlidaveur, that's who you play with in the post-season. Likewise for the 'cans... you handsome devils...
As always... all comments and sugestions and mistake pointing out is welcome.

Stat update... and correction.

Just a quick stat update.

Larry helped me find an error in my formulae.

Here is the new (hoepfully more acurate) up to date as of today...Stats.

As always....

click to enlarge.

Comments and corrections welcome.

Still, a very nice scoring race going on.

The leaders are tightly grouped but pulling

away from the pack.

Larry, Mike Daley, and Roman are all within

two points of each other.

Larry... in his quest to lead everything....is

also on top of the penalty totals.

Great numbers and good fill in work from our

substitute Goalies. Hats off to new guy Brian

Carey who has played twice and done very well.

Word even has it around the halls of the corporate

offices that Lizzy is pretty well healed from her knee injury and will be available

for some spot duty between the pipes.

Feel free to comment... talk smack... call the blogger names....whathaveyou.

Mid-Season Stat Update!

Mid-Season Stats.
Schlidavers Winter 2008

Here it is... The numbers you've all been waiting for. We are probably 1-2 games past the midpoint, but I wanted to include this weeks games.
As always check your numbers and let me know if you see anything out of whack.
An interesting race going on at the top of the leaderboard I think. Larry Bell (17pts)has just this week moved ahead of Roman Kurin (16pts)for the top spot, and iJosh (14pts) is lurking not far behind. Impressive Rookie Mike Daley continues to shine and he is only 4 points off the pace. Dan Hebert (DWH) rounds out the top 5 with 7 goals and 11total points. After that group is the typical cluster of vets at 8 points, but any one of these guys can break the top five with a good game or two.
Despite the ever changing situation in the pipes I think we are getting good numbers there too. Mike Gash is holding solid as the workhorse with a t 2.36 GAA after 11 games. He was 6-3-2 over those starts. Kilroy just got his first win but if you look closely a 4.00 after 7 games is really not so bad... especially given that that number is a bit inflated from the 9 goal game. Other than that game he has given up 5 once, 3 three times, and 1 once (last night). That's not too shabby for a guy who has played the position less than 10 times.


Larry is also at the top of the penalty list courtesy of his two ejections. He's followed by the usual suspects Matvey, Hammitt, and Campbell. George and Greg James aren't too far off the pace and with a few blowups could jump right up into the running.
In general I think we've been doing a better job with penalties. There have really only been a handfull over the last month. Good work everyone.

Interestingly enough both teams have been hovering right around the .500 mark. We have 3 games this week and if we sweep (Cads have 2 and Schlitz have 1) then both teams will be 1 game over .500. That would be pretty cool. Its never too early to start thinking about playoff positioning.

Great work everyone. I think that we are doing ok overall. It would be nice to see if we can get up over the .500 hump and stay there for the second half.

Should be a good race for the points leader in the second half. Play well everyone.
See you all next week.

Summer of the Suds. 07 Summer wrap up.

Summer 2007 Season


Any time you end the last game of the year with the ref coming out and handing you a trophy... its been a good one. Granted, we had a statistical advantage over most other teams given that we had two squads to work with, it still says something that we were able to come away with the Division Championship.

Even though only 12 of us skated that night, everyone on the Schlidaveurs roster at one time or another wore the Gold this year and really we all share in the "glory" of the win. Everyone should be proud of our season, not really because we won a gaudy (cheap) trophy, but because we really had some great nights playing hockey, hanging out, and sharing our after work hobby over the last few months. Even better, in the blogger's opinion, that now we get to do it again over the winter.
So join me, follower of the blog, for a short stroll down memory lane as we recap our summer fun. Please chime in with comments on your favorite quote, game, goal, 4th period, whatever it might be so we can all remember the summer that was. Lord knows some of us need help with the whole "short term memory" thing.
The season (and blog) started all the way back in May with a pair of wins to get the double headed beast off and running. It wasn't long before we had our share of high notes and forgettable nights as the season kicked into gear. An early season highlight was Chris Fosdick winning a game for the Cads against the Generals with almost no time left on the clock. Of course with the good you always seem to have the nights that some of us wish we could forget.
It also wasn't long before we got a chance to get everyone on the ice as the first Schlidaveur event came around. This one was a tie... the only one that would end up being a tie. That is interesting if only for the fact that the summer before 4 of the 5 Schlidaveurs ended up in ties. This season wouldn't go like that as we were able to pick a winner each of the next 5 times we played each other.
The Second Schlidaveur was not much of a game numbers wise... but it made up for it with the fourth period debut of new team favorite Miran James. Miran was nice enough to (marry Greg) to come out and share her unbelieveable culinary talents with us and she pulled out all the stops on her first night. The blogger still resents that he wasn't there that night... This wouldn't be the last time we heard from Miran, and we hope she comes back as often as possible. She also kicked it this night... wait a second... I wasnt there either...damn! This is ridiculous. I know that I'm speaking for lots of us when we say Thank You to Miran for contributing greatly to our summer fun.

The season really got humming as we made it into July. Both teams had their chance to taste success and to feel the sting of a rough night at the rink. One of the Blogger's favorite games of the year came on the night that newcomer George Moorachian split his finger open and had to have the help of teammate Kevin Parker (another stellar rookie) to patch himself up for a ride to the emergency room. George was back in no time to round out a very nice rookie season with us. We look forward to his contributions for many seasons to come.
Back to the Schlidaveur department. Schildaveur number three was a really fun game that had it all. Thanks to some late addition substitutes we had enough numbers to fill out the rosters and had a great night of competition. This one also featured possibly the best fourth period photo of the season thanks to the Parker and his Flying Nutbag shirts. The fourth Schlidaveur starred another pair of outstanding newcomers Jim Sullivan and Matt Elliot. Both of these guys were great addidions to our little band of skaters and we were really glad to have em. Jim finished third in scoring by the end of the season and Matt finished ninth despite missing a good portion of the end of year because of some lame excuse like getting married or something. Seriously guys thanks for joining and we look forward to having you with us down the road. Jim will be out for the winter but we expect him back for more fun next summer. This game also had the first Schlidaveur videos to hit the scene... a nice touch. The fifth Schlidaveur was another humm dinger featuring a big nights from Dangerous Dave Spenciner who really played great all year and finished seventh in scoring by the end, and Mike Gash who recorded yet another shutout. This game also had some nice action between Matvey Nikhamik and Mike Hammitt despite the blogger's family being in attendence. You've got to love when the competitive juices get going.
Another favorite of mine at this point in the season was the night Mike Jasse put four goals up after coming out of nowhere... well St. Louis... yeah I guess nowhere. And who could forget the night that Mad Matt strapped on the goalie gear and came away with a terrific win. That was awesome.
Ok... before I type myself into next week... lets move on to the playoffs where the inevitable Schlidaveur number six (playoff edition) came down. This was one for the ages. The Zombie roster came into this one with everything to gain but nothing to loose thanks to their two previous playoff losses. The only thing they had to hold onto was the chance to knock the Suds out of the possible Championship Game. Well the Zombies won that one but it didn't keep the Suds out of the Title Game so really everyone won. That game was recent enough that I think we all remember what happend there and the nice shiny trophy we brought home for the whole team to enjoy.


I know you'll be asking (Larry) so here are the stats.
This one here to the left is the combined scoring for all games played by everyone all year. Larry Bell once again finishes in the top spot with a huge 28 points over 18 games played.
Great job by Veteran Nelson Sharfman who ended with 27 and almost unseated Larry from that top spot. Big Kudos also for regulars Mike Jasse, Jeff Fosdick, Chris Fosdick, Matvey, and Dangerous Dave, who along with rookies Sully, Elliott, Parker rounded out the top ten. Excellent work by everyone.





Ok just a couple more things...well awards before I go out the door.


The Mike Campbell Award goes to Mike... wait a second. Is this right? MC didn't win his own award? Wow. Mike Hammitt wins the Campbell award with a gaudy 19 penalties and a whopping 34 minutes in penalty time. Sorry Hammitt, but another blowout season like this and management is going to have to rename this the Hammitt award. Campbell did finish second...
The Unexpected Weapon Award goes to Dangerous Dave Spenciner. Dave finishes with 14 total points on 9 goals and 5 assists. Dave brought it all year and really made an impact. Great season dude.

Rookie of the Year goes to Jim Sullivan. This was a though one especially since Kevin Parker finished with only 1 less point in the same number of games. Sully's hat trick in the Championship Game put him over the top. That being said Parker gets MAJOR PROPS from managment given that he missed the Championship game because he had Heart Surgery! Honorable mention to Matt Elliott... man a lot of good newcomers this year.


The Vezina Trophy has to go to Mike Gash. OEJ or Dr. Zero if you prefer ended the season with 5 shutouts (including one in the playoffs) and a stunning 1.53 GAA. Thanks dude. You turned in a great year. Honorable mention to Blogger favorite Lizzy who had her ups and downs but had a shutout of her own and never ever let us down when we needed her, and Mad Matt who had 2 starts and held the fort well. Keep up the good work.


The Fourth Period Award goes to.... The crew that stuck around that night in Brockton until 2am. How this wasn't featured in the blog I'll never know. I believe that group consisted of Mike Hammitt, Lizzy DeFlurin, Kevin Manning, and Scott Pounds. Way to go gang. On a team wher often the fourth is our best period, you've made us proud.

Speaking of Matt Kilroy. He gets major props for just being Matt. Dude puts up with all the scheduling and emails and then has to listen to the Blogger talk to himself while he trys to cobble together this space each week. Plus the guy shows up and straps on the goalie equipment from time to time to help the club... a true team player. Matt busts his ass for all of us and as CEO, CFO, GM, and all around BMF, he deserves a hearty thanks from all. Thanks.

Alright. Thats it from here. The Blogger thanks all of you for reading and I invite you back for the winter season that starts next Monday. Again, please post in the comments section, I'm sure I've left out about a million things that should get mentioned. So lets see 'em. See you all next week.

Quick check of the leaderboard...not just for 'ho's anymore.

Ok ok... I just couldn't resist. Next time I'll have to photoshop the image so it says "Stat Whores" and I'll put Larry's face over the chick with the big... ah... guns.

Here you go a quick update of our scoring (and penalty) leaderboard, for all you eager "stat whores"(not just Larry). We have only 3 regular season games remaining then 6 in the playoffs (3 for each squad) maybe more if one or both teams advance.

The race is tightening, no question about it.

Larry holds a 3 point lead over Kevin Parker with Jim Sullivan just one behind him. This is the most competition Larry has had for the scoring title in quite some time. Keep in mind he was coming off a rough injury the whole first half of this season. He's made quite a run.

Nice to have some of the new guys (soon to be vets) in the top ten. The aforementioned KP, JS, and Matt Elliott. Rounded out by some familiar faces from the greybeard side of things, with the likes of Nelson Sharfman, Dangerous Dave, Mike Jasse, Chris Fosdick, and Matvey Nihkamik, making veteran contributions every week. Excellent work by all of you.

I'll let the Penalty minutes speak for themselves... but you know... that race is pretty close too. It will only take one blowup and ejection to push any of those guys lurking around second place to jump right up to the lead. We'll see how it plays out.

Here is the sheet as of yesterday.

If you haven't responded to Matt about tomorrow....get on it. He's trying to put together a roster. Nice to see so many people responding positively to the winter season. This would be really fun to do for the winter with both teams. My blogsense is tingling.

Let me know if there are any glaring mistakes or anything / anyone I've left out. It happens so speak up if you see something that doesn't look quite right. I'm only one guy... and I do have to do some work sometimes.

Enjoy.

Stat updates... Rosters

Some Stats here for all you "whores..."

As per usual click on the image to actually read it.

This is combined scoring through 20 regular season games (out of a scheduled 31....then playoffs [3 each team]) so you could call it 2/3's of the way.

Check out the new names and faces in the top five will ya. Kevin Parker has been on a serious tear and has launched himself right into the #1 spot. Great work. Notice Larry Bell wasn't out of the top five for very long (tied for 1st in points with 13) grabbing the #2 spot. Jim Sullivan and Nelson Sharfman have also been men on the move at 3 and 4.

OEJ...relax I have your assist in my head.

The Campbell Award race continues to see strong action with the return of Mike "The Hammer" Hammitt and Larry "Let 'em know you're there" Bell edging out the award's namesake. This race promises to go right down to the wire.

Scoring Update and tonight's roster

Scoring Update.... about mid-season.

A quick scoring update for all you stat hounds. After some careful data collection there was a re-assesment of goals and assists coming from the last Schlidaveur event. This is no surprise given the outrageous score of that contest. Sub Kevin Parker (quickly climbing the leaderboard in production) was shorted a pair of goals and an assist. These do come at a cost to Fosdick Brother #1 (Chris) who had a great night that night.... just not a Super-Human night. Chris and Kevin split the scoring by guys wearing #2 that night and will have 2 goals and 1 assist each.

That has led to a very interesting arrangement atop the points leaderboard. See the new leaderboard right here....

Note: If you are not listed on either catagory it is because you have no points or penalties.

Check out the Points leaders. Newcomer and rising star Matt Elliott is kicking butt and taking names with a well balanced 4 goals and 4 assists for 8 points so far. Also of note is team goal scoring leader Dangerous Dave Spenciner. Check out the logjam of guys with 7 points... Good solid work there from newcomers Jim Sullivan and Kevin Parker. Kevin has been listed as Substitute X ...figuring that we may have more than one guy filling that role. So far he has scored the only points of any of the subs. There was one Game Played by another guy (Matt Cicciari) but all the production is Kevin's. Great work everyone ... should be a fun second half.

Alright... down to the business at hand.

Team Stats at the quarter pole. *UPDATE/CORRECTION*

Team statistics at the quarter season mark. Four games played for each team (including 1 Schlidaver) out of a 15 game regular season.

Click on the image to actually read the stats. I haven't figured out how to make it big enough to read in the post.
Let's get to some highlights.

The leaderboard in points has some interesting entries. Big Ups to Dangerous Dave Spenciner holding onto the #2 spot. Dave is off to a great start, tied for the team lead in goals (3) with upstart Pete Capraro and (greybeard...ahem...veteran) Chris Fosdick. Pete, Dave and Dan Gregson round out the "new blood" top five nicely. (The aging Fosdick brothers are the other two...just happy to make the games).
* WOW. Good save by Nelson on the Stat Department missing two of his assists. They were indeed lost in the spreadsheet. That changes our top five slightly with the inclusion of "Lunch-pail Veteran" Sharfman. We can always count on Nelson's gritty approach and work ethic to get results. Good catch Nelson. Consider this a full retraction and apology from the Statistical Analysis Division.*
Good work by both goalies, with Lizzy carrying most of the load and doing a bang up job.

Larry Bell continues his aggressive dominance of the soon to be renamed "Mike Campbell Award" catagory with a strong line of 3 penalties, 8 minutes, and 1 ejection in 3 games played. Larry has also gained a spot in 'coon's corner and probably can't wait for someone to take that spot away from him. All ribbing aside I have a feeling that the points leaderboard has NOT seen the last of Larry Bell....just give him...and his knee some time.

I think in general we have played well. No question that we have brought in some good "new blood" to round out our summer rosters. In particular, Jim Sullivan has shown some nice offence and mobility, Matt Elliott, Kevin Manning and George Moorachian all look like they can help the club(s) big time. Glad to have you all aboard. Also notable is the return of Mike Hammitt who has done an excellent job staying on the ice and in the game so far this season.

Keep up the good work everyone. Let's see how many games we can win over the next four for each team.
