Published 4/9/2009 by PPP at Pension Plan Puppets
... Obviously From The Rink and Japers' Rink (coming up with site names is hard!) are a distant 1 and 2  (and probably not in the order that you'd expect) but we're holding off the filthy Habs.

Thanks to Chemmy, Wrap, and Mattblack because this site would not be half as good without them.

Published 4/6/2009 by Richard at IllegalCurve.com
From James Mirtle of From the Rink: So, Green’s 30 goals (and counting, given he has three games left to play) in 65 games is pretty darn impressive, ranking tied for 15th (or 14th if you throw Housley out) in the all-time scoring ranks for defencemen. In goals per game, Green’s performance is tied for seventh, and works out to 38 goals over an 82-game season. But … like Ovechkin’s marvelous 65-goal season last year, Green’s managed the feat in an ...
