TML Penalty Kill - Better or Worse?

[Frelimo]

Should have clarified: Those numbers in the table are from 2012-13.

My last line was about the last two seasons combined. I'll provide the numbers:

Last two years:

Player | SHTOI | PPGA60
James vanRiemsdyk | 174| 2.07
Tyler Bozak | 145 | 4.97
Jay McClement | 453 | 6.89
Nikolai Kulemin | 286 | 7.13

Just for 2013-14, though:

Player | SHTOI | PPGA60
James vanRiemsdyk | 117 | 2.56
Tyler Bozak | 69 | 6.09
Jay McClement | 277 | 8.88 (!!!!)
Nikolai Kulemin | 181 | 7.62

YIKES, and I was under the impression that most the goals were scored when McClement left the ice and the second unit came on.

I went through about half the season just to get an idea, and it seems he was on for a lot of PP goals, with Phaneuf and Franson around as well. I was under the impression Gunnarsson was first PK guy, not Franson, unless that changed later?

Definitely wouldn't have hurt signing him to a 1 year deal



Fair enough



There are still guys on this team who are far more used to losing than McClement



That's a huge difference in minutes played for McClement. What are the defense numbers?

Agreed.

I figured the only reason the Leafs didn't sign him is that he probably wanted a raise over his 1.5M salary. Apparently not. I don't get this from a Leafs perspective.

I truly believe that everything Nonis has done since the end of the season and Shanny's hiring has been to slow down his demise, or chance of. Firing the assistants but keeping Randy? Randy is one more excuse for him. Getting rid of all the bottom six pretty much? Saving the core (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) for one more shot. That allows him to fire Randy and trade a big player and blame them for everything. Biggest reason I don't believe there has been a culture change. These players haven't been here for 15 years. Ownership makes lots of money and that is the only success that matters. Think about it. If you did a complete ****** job, yet, you got paid and congratulated with more and more money, what is your incentive to do better?

That's fine. Can you tell me where on NHL.com you got the goals scored against each player?

Don't have the numbers (I compiled these spreadsheets months ago) and I honestly don't feel like taking the time to pull them for the d-corps. Everything sourced from NHL.com.

Alright I lied, I went ahead anyways:

2013-14:

Player | SHTOI | PPGA | PPGA60
Cody Franson | 130 | 18 | 8.31
Dion Phaneuf | 226 | 31 | 8.23
Carl Gunnarsson | 235 | 29 | 7.40
Tim Gleason | 82 | 10 | 7.32
Paul Ranger | 101 | 11 | 6.53

I wish I had known that. I was going through box scores to see who was on during PP goals

Franson sucks so hard

Here are the player combination %

Toronto Maple Leafs - Penalty Kill Units
Player 1, Player 2, Player 3, Player 4, & Frequency

JAY MCCLEMENT, NIKOLAI KULEMIN, DION PHANEUF, CARL GUNNARSSON = 14.6%
JAY MCCLEMENT, TYLER BOZAK, DION PHANEUF, CARL GUNNARSSON = 7.3%
JAY MCCLEMENT, JAMES VAN RIEMSDYK, DION PHANEUF, CARL GUNNARSSON = 4%
JAY MCCLEMENT, JERRED SMITHSON, DION PHANEUF, CARL GUNNARSSON =3.5%
JAY MCCLEMENT, NIKOLAI KULEMIN, TIM GLEASON, CARL GUNNARSSON= 2.2%
JAY MCCLEMENT, NIKOLAI KULEMIN, CODY FRANSON, TIM GLEASON = 1.9%
JAY MCCLEMENT, NIKOLAI KULEMIN, DION PHANEUF, TIM GLEASON = 1.9%

3 of the 4 most heavily used PK players McClement, Kulemin & Gunnarsson are no longer here and will be replaced.

I guess we'll find out if they were the right 3
