Points Accumulation Through 47 Games

It's been a while since I've posted, yes. Things should pick up a bit now that college apps are finally completely finished (FINALLY I'M DONE!)...

With that, here's a little intermediate post about points accumulation through 47 GP.

Slightly Advanced Statistics

With about a quarter of the season already played (!!), and the Sharks sitting atop the Pacific, 3rd in the West, and 7th overall*, I thought I'd dust off the old Microsoft Excel, dig up some W/L/OTL stats, and see how the Sharks have been doing this season, as well as how they've played compared to some other teams.

First up, let's take a look at how Pacific Division teams have collected points through 19 games...

Gameday Preview: Sharks @ Red Wings: 10/28/11

San Jose @ Detroit
4:30 PM PST
SJS: 4-3-0
DET: 5-2-0

Hockey Haiku for this preview...

Lidstrom plays defence
Pavel Datsyuk can dangle
Howard likes the snow.

But Thornton can pass
And Joe Pavelski can score
Nemo is super.

Detroit is a pit
It is really kind of sad
But now they've Lions

The Joe is quiet
It doesn't rock like the Tank
Home ice advantage?

No, I do not doubt
I don't doubt the Red Wings fans
But Sharks are better.

Go Sharks, Go! Tonight
Run circles around the Wings!
Come up with big saves!

Tonight, Go Sharks, Go!
Play the best game you can play
Try to get that W.

Prediction: Sharks win 4-3. Goals by Pavelski, Couture, Havlat, and Burns.

Gameday Preview: Sharks @ Ducks: 10/14/11

I like to write with closed form
It’s fun to make a poem conform
So this preview’s in verse
Please don’t find these a curse
‘Cause for some reason the limerick seems the norm

Локомотив Ярославль

Локомотив Ярославль, RIP. Даниил Собченко, RIP. RIP Галимов, the last strand of hope for hockey. Fight, Сизов, fight to live, to keep the memory alive. RIP, Локомотив Ярославль.

Memory in math.
Haiku for class, for Lokomotiv

Sasha
The man on that plane
"Brothers, I am Galimov."
But Sasha is gone.
