Radulov Dropping

Another installment of the league leaders from all the leagues I keep daily a daily tracking of are in.  For the first time since we began, Alexander Radulov is finally dropping.  He is out of the top ten in penalty minutes and has slipped in points as well.

One big change came from North America as all but one spot in the penalty rankings now belongs to the local professional leagues.




Now for my two cents.

  • It would have been interesting to see what Brunner could have done in a North American league.  Never pegged him for those kind of numbers.  He had been sent to the AHL this year in the Detroit organization.  Now he is playing with one of Detroit's best players in Henrik Zetterberg.  Maybe chemistry for the future?
  • Luciano Aquino came on very strong.  His teams 11 goal performance on Sunday certainly helped.  Speaking of coming on strong, I'm surprised to see four guys from Sweden in the top ten.  Not really a high scoring league.
  • Look at Chad Costello climb the charts.  He made the bottom of the list last time and now just four points behind.  Keep representing until some other players from North American can start making a push.  But as Costello climbs we are losing other NHL guys.  Malkin is off the list leaving only Seguin as the only NHL representative.
Clearly penalties will be dominated by the AHL and ECHL where fights and physical play will dominate many games.  I still think a European or two could stay in the mix maybe until the next update.  After that who knows.

Last time I posted the list I wondered who would get to 100 first and went with a European.  I also put out Graz as my team and Gallant as my North American league player.  Well nobody has made it yet (haven't looked at the KHL scores today).

Stancescu becomes a likely, or high unlikely depending on how you take it, candidate as he plays tomorrow.  Adam Huxley sitting at 85 plays both tomorrow and Wednesday and leader Brett Gallant is the only player from the AHL leaders playing through Wednesday.  Who gets it first?
