If you are into puck possession, then you should be into Copenhagen star Auston Matthews. If you copy and paste the league’s stats into a spreadsheet, you can figure out each player’s possession ratio by subtracting their giveaways from their takeaways. Then, you can take that result and divide it by the number of minutes…
One team record was set and two others were tied in the EURO League’s Season 16. Two individual records were also established. Prague will be happy to know the 360 goals they gave up in Season 13 is no longer the record for most goals conceded. Unfortunately, the 362 they gave up this year is.…
Connor McDavid and his linemate in Oslo, Calvin Thurkauf, produced the best single games of the season, according to Websim’s Star Points formula. On Feb. 13 (game calendar) against Dublin, both McDavid and Thurkauf had 3 goals and 3 assists. Thurkauf took 8 shots, McDavid 6. They were both +2 in a close 7-6 win…
After scoring a goal in a win over Madrid two days earlier, Belfast star Nathan MacKinnon came into the final game of the regular season needing 3 goals to tie the league record for most goals in a season (59, set by Steven Stamkos in Season 5). Trailing 2-0 in the second period to Copenhagen,…
Two seasons ago, Paris defenseman Ken Kuusk set a league record for goals by a defenseman when he fired in 27. The Estonian was 30 then and squarely on his way to being one of the best ever to shoot from the blueline. He is currently fifth all-time, in fact. But last season, Kuusk wasn’t…
Twenty-nine-year-old Attila Adorjan of Minsk has been focused and stubborn enough to record 10 shutouts this season. It’s probably a team defense record as much as a goalie record, but Adorjan could get his name in the record books. The record is 11 shutouts in a season, set by Philipp Grubauer of Paris (Season 11)…
The mid-season evolution occurred today in the EURO League, and that usually means the older players had their strength, stamina and speed degrade a bit while the young bucks got a little more experienced and better across the board. The player who degraded the most is 38-year-old David Perron, going from a 71 to a…
Websim added a Stars of the Game point system during Season 15 to help us see which players had really great games, weeks and months. Defenseman Rasmus Dahlin of Bern had the best game of the season according to the new formula in a 6-4 win over Zurich. The defenseman scored 2 goals, had 2…
Early in the second period in a game two weeks ago against Moscow, the Hussars worked the puck around the Maniacs’ zone while on the powerplay. Aaron Ekblad had it, contemplated bouncing the puck off the boards to Petr Vrana on the left wing, but instead made a D-to-D pass to Maxim Chudinov, who already…
It’s early yet – just 15 or 16 games into the season with 66 to go. And we know players will tend to even out their production to their normal levels over the course of the season, but we thought we’d take a look at how some EURO peeps are doing so far. Logan Couture…
