Everything has been updated for the 2017-18 season (regular season stats, playoff stats, and awards voting).

The posts above consist of tens of thousands of words and lines of data, compiled over more than a decade. I try my best to ensure the information is accurate, but I'm sure there are errors lurking somewhere in those threads. If you see any, let me know.

I've updated most of these posts for 2023. There are a few that I'm skipping for now (top 20 in scoring, adjusted save percentage, misc playoff stats). I might get to them later in the year and/or if anyone has a specific request for that information.

As always, if there's any errors, let me know. I'm away for a hiking trip over the next week, so I'll make any updates once I'm back.
