BringHomeTheCup! 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2007 Ducks and Wings, Senators and Sabers. Here is a quick breakdown of some stats I found intersting. Of the four teams left, here is the number of goalscorers they have, how many of those goal scorers have more than one goal, how many players have points, each teams point leader, and how many points he had. Ducks - 11 goal scorers, 8 have more than 1, 14 players with points, and Pronger is leading the team with 14 points. Sabers - 13 goal scorers, 10 have more than 1, 18 players with points, and Briere is leading the team with 11 points. Wings - 13 goal scorers, 11 have more than 1, 17 players with points, and Datsyuk and Lidstrom tie for the lead with 11 points. Senators - 14 goal scorers, 8 have more than 1, 16 players with points, and Heatly leads the team with 14 points. Goaltenders Ducks- Giguere 1.28 GAA .952 Sv% 0 SO Sabers - Miller 2.07 GAA .928 Sv% 0 SO Wing - Hasek 1.51 GAA .930 1 SO Senators - Emery 2.04 GAA .919 Sv% 2 SO I'm not sure why, maybe some of you Duck fans could shed some light on this, but Giggy sat 4 games. So realisticly speaking, Dom has the best stats, in net. And the Detroit skaters come in second to the Senators, by a hair. So why is it that Detroit is being picked by so many people as the least likely to advance? The Ducks are a solid team, but they aren't that good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ducks are a solid team, but they aren't that good. Maybe because the games are played on the ice and not on paper? I believe Giguere's new-born son (or daughter?) had medical problems during the first few games of the Minnesota series. Giguere elected to stay with his family and Bryzgalov started. Keep in mind the Wings have played 12 games while the Ducks have only played 10. You can't only go by stats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm not trying to hand Detroit the Cup based on stats, I just don't understand how Detroit is considered such an underdog. Detroit shut down Iggy and Kipper, Joey and Nabby gave us a scare, but it wasn't too bad. I think the WIngs have a legit shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duckboy6 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2007 you guys do have a legit shot. I see this series as even and just because stupid experts pick a team to win doesnt mean their going to dominate. However in this series you cant go by goal scoring i believe it will be which defence can make the least amount of mistakes, so i believe the goals scored so far are insignificant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
