Team By Team Generated Chances

Extending our review yesterday of the top players in the league at generating offensive chances through forced turnovers (Hits & Takeaways), let's take a look at the team-by-team numbers:
Team Hits Takeaways Total
Montreal Canadiens 69 144 213
Ottawa Senators 99 100 199
Carolina Hurricanes 95 90 185
New York Islanders 98 81 179
Dallas Stars 94 82 176
Washington Capitals 75 88 163
Toronto Maple Leafs 97 60 157
New York Rangers 92 65 157
Edmonton Oilers 60 96 156
Florida Panthers 90 65 155
Atlanta Thrashers 73 73 146
New Jersey Devils 59 83 142
Buffalo Sabres 63 77 140
Anaheim Ducks 70 68 138
Los Angeles Kings 74 64 138
Philadelphia Flyers 60 74 134
Minnesota Wild 58 72 130
Detroit Red Wings 64 66 130
Columbus Blue Jackets 64 58 122
Vancouver Canucks 64 55 119
Nashville Predators 50 68 118
San Jose Sharks 78 39 117
St. Louis Blues 52 64 116
Phoenix Coyotes 67 49 116
Boston Bruins 61 53 114
Calgary Flames 47 61 108
Tampa Bay Lightning 35 72 107
Colorado Avalanche 27 77 104
Pittsburgh Penguins 61 39 100
Chicago Blackhawks 49 40 89


Comparing to last year's figures, we see a few interesting items. Most of the top teams from last year remain at the top of this list (Montreal, Ottawa, the Islanders, etc.) and the same holds true at the bottom as well (Pittsburgh, Chicago, Tampa Bay). The most extreme moves upwards have been made by Florida (28th to 10th), Carolina (20th to 3rd), and Buffalo (26th to 13th). Those teams plummeting downwards include Calgary (5th to 26th), Colorado (8th to 28th), and Philadelphia (6th to 16th).

Cheer up, it's the holidays...

Why is it that various media outlets continue trying to put their own spin on the "what's wrong with the NHL" story? Our latest example comes from The Hockey News , in a piece by Jay Greenburg entitled, "Excitement Level On The Decline." Take the opening sentence: Attendance is down and yet still up from before the lockout, leaving it arguable whether buildings in New Jersey and Florida are half-full or half empty. It's no surprise that attendance is down from last season, particularly if you compare the first half of 2005-06 to the first half of this year. Coming out of the lockout, there were legions of fans starved to see the on-ice product, particularly in light of the massive rule changes. This year is more indicative of business as usual, so the fact that the league is above pre-lockout levels is a positive. Toss in the projection that overall revenues are increasing despite a 1% decrease in attendance, and I'd say that paying fans have come back

I mean, it's pretty low-risk high-reward, so it's tempting. I wouldn't mind reading about tips on how to maximize impact of blogging in general to make it a legitimate income source. Trying to make money at sports blogging can be a very touchy subject - for the vast majority of us, this is an activity we pursue to both exercise our creativity and share our love of the game, whether it's hockey, football, badminton, whatever, with fellow fans. Mixing that personal conversation with a commercial message can turn people off, especially if it becomes too intrusive for the reader. It's not unrea

Celebrating a milestone month

I've been remiss in providing regular updates on my quest to turn this whole sports-blogging hobby into at least something of a significant side income, if not a career, but good news has a way of prompting action. That, and I've been heads-down busy working on a few different fronts to push things forward...
