Hi everyone! It’s been a difficult process double-checking all of my goaltender stats, but I’m starting to see some major progress. In fact, I had the opportunity to update two more stats packages this week! The first one is the one-and-only Definitive Seals/Barons Record Book. I’ve updated the shots on goal records for forwards and defenseman, first of all, but I also updated all single-game and career shots-on-goal records for goaltenders. I uncovered a few other mistakes in the document as well, so those have been corrected too. And if that wasn’t enough, I’ve also updated the All-Time Scoring and Goaltending Records. The stats for forwards and defensemen haven’t changed, but most of the goaltending stats are different, but these can now be considered “official” now that the NHL has released all of its game summaries and started publishing them on their website. Even the glorious Hockey-reference.com has updated their stats, so it’s a bit of a numbers revolution in professional hockey! Thanks go out to Chuck Nan who provided me with a few missing or questionable WHL attendance figures for this week’s stats update.

So that’s about it for this week. My plan is to keep updating the stats packages on the site, so when I get more done, I’ll add them. At the same time, I’ll be enjoying the early-season hockey, which has been great so far if you’re a fan of Canadian hockey teams. Who would have thought Montreal would be 5-2-2 at this point?

Until next time, stay gold!
