Chirps from Center Ice

I kind of just started piling together weird stats this morning from the AHL’s Daily Report for tonight’s game v. Binghamton for myself. I didn’t know what to do with it all when finished so I figured I’d make a blog post about it.

• In the Eastern Conference: WBS is tops to Bingo being 9^th.
• A. Gordon leads the league w/ 30 points. BNG’s Corey Locke and WBS’ Dustin Jeffrey are tied in 2^nd w/ 27 pts apiece.

Read nothing into me making this a daily feature. I just wanted to see how the two teams match up against one another. I suppose if I get 5 comments on this and say “we’d like to see it again” I may make it a feature I run when I can. You never know. Gameday post will run at 4 as always.

Go Pens.

EDIT: I don’t know why I work so hard breaking down stats when the AHL already has these things out there on the internets called Media Kits with the stats already broke down and then some. I am going to start incorporating these into my Gameday posts starting tomorrow. Here is the Media Kit for tonight’s game v. Binghamton. You need to have .pdf on your internet explorer in order to be able to view it.
