1 - Steve Stamkos has twice as many goals as Alex Ovechkin, but not as many as Patrick Sharp (Blackhawks plug #1).
2 - James Wisniewski is the NHL's leading scorer from defense and Mark Letestu the leading rookie scorer.
3 - Keeping on the rookie trend, Washington's Michal Neuvirth is quietly the only rookie starting goaltender and leading the league in wins. Semyon who?
4 - The only category that Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin lead in is shots - and probably sponsorship dollars. This is what happens when 95% of your commercials budget went to paying the pro.
5 - New Jersey has 5 points through 10 games for last in the league, but Kovalchuk is worth 100 million?
6 - Leaf fans; Phil Kessel has 7 goals and Tyler Seguin has 1 - who needs 1st round picks?
7 - Tim Thomas, through 4 games is 4-0 and has a .978 SVP. Vezina winner that is long from done.
8 - Tyler Myers is on pace to be -74 at the end of the season and Michael Cammalleri for +90. Obviously, these trends will continue.
9 - Ottawa still doesn't have a goalie, but Brian Elliot earns points for wearing this Gongshow Hockey lid.
10 - Andrew Ladd has 10 points through 9 games, Niklas Hjalmarsson has 0 in 9 games.
11 - Brendan Morrison is Calgary's top scorer, and has more points than any Canuck not named Sedin.
12 - At age 40, Nicklas Lidstrom is on pace for 90 points and speaks with a perfect Michigan-Sweden hybrid accent.
Oh and here is Ovechkin's equally brutal commercial video rebuttal.
