BoC at the Olympics
Just for fun point totals per Cali team in the Olympics:
Sharks Total: 23
Joe Pavelski: 3
Patrick Marleau: 5
Dany Heatley: 7
Joe Thornton: 2
Dan Boyle: 6
Douglas Murray: 0
Evgeni Nabokov: .852SV%, 4.16GAA, 144MP (in other words he single handedly lost the tourney for the Russians...look at Bryzgalovs numbers almost the same minutes played: .942SV%, 1.78GAA, 100MP)
Thomas Greiss: .815SV%, 5.03 GAA, 179MP (tough outing for Shark's G)
Kings Total: 9
Jack Johnson: 1
Dustin Brown: 0
Drew Doughty: 2
Michal Handzus: 6 (nice!)
Jonathan Quick: DNP
Ducks Total: 21
Ryan Whitney: 0 :-(
Bobby Ryan: 2 (on the 3rd or 4th line mind you!)
Corey Perry: 5
Scott Niedermayer: 3
Ryan Getzlaf: 7
Luca Sbisa: 0
Teemu Selanne: 2
Saku Koivu: 2
Jonas Hiller: .918SV%, 2.47GAA, 316MP
I'm unbiasedly ;-) giving the edge to the Ducks here since they are virtually tied for points with the Sharks and Hiller edged out both goalies. Plus I think at times the Perry, Getzlaf, Morrow line dominated while the Thornton, Marleau, Heatly line looked weaksauce ;-) I'm sure most of their points are on the PP.

Heh, saved me the trouble of posting it all. I do want to add two things, though —
1) the IOC goaltending stats are slightly flawed, at least in regards to how we think about them in the NHL. In the IOC scoring, they assign a “goal allowed” for a goalie that loses a shootout, on one extra “shot faced”. A goalie that wins a shootout picks up an extra save. As such, the “NHL” stats for the goalies are:
Jonas Hiller: 2.28 GAA, .924 sv%
Evgeny Nabokov: 4.16 GAA, .853 sv%
Ilya Bryzgalov: 1.19 GAA, .961 sv%
Thomas Greiss: 5.03 GAA, .815 sv%
2) If you include Former BoC players, then the total points are L.A. Kings 37, Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks 32 each. That was the actual count I was looking at — much more even in terms of player distribution.
Still, in your poll I’ll vote Ducks. And I’m changing your Ducks total to 21. :)

Reasons why Bryzgolav's numbers are better than Nabby?
Nabby played Canada, Bryz did not. Enough said.
P.S. I voted for the Sharks. Not because I’m biased or anything, but 0 votes look lonely.

Meh, the Sharks had fewer players and produced slightly more, it seems. I give them the edge as far as scoring, but they fail miserably at goalie where Hiller did not.
"You know? I might not be wealthy or cool or even intelligent," I said to myself. Then I felt like there was more to that sentence, but I guess there wasn’t.
Oh thanks for the math correction Earl! What can I say I suck at math ;-)
idunno so what? Nabby still stunk up the place!
lol Morbo my point exactly! Dude’s gonna fall asleep in the playoffs again…
I didn’t see +/- ratings on the NBC site anyone have those? Maybe that could tip the scales.

Depends on which games you watch. Watch the games against the Swiss and Americans (round 1) and the Perry Getzlaf lines were liabilities while HTML played well. Then again, later in the tournament Getz and Perry were on fire while HTML was not a factor (didn’t play bad, but weren’t great either).

Do they really call them the HTML line up there in San Jose? I guess that’s expected from the Silicon Valley.
Actually
They call them the Burger line mostly, which I hate. HTML (not HTML Line, that’s redundant) is much better, and does fit their location.
I think we should just call them the Gold line now.

actually only really FTF calls it the HTML line … some of FTF I should say. other Sharks fans call it the Burger line or something of the sort. Both are lame to me.
Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?
