I wasn't going to post today but thought I would pick out some random/obscure stats for any diehard Americans fans coming to the blog on Christmas eve. Here goes:
- Erik Adams ranks third all time in short handed goals with two.
- Aaron Dell is on pace to have the best GAA (2.03) and save percentage (93.0%) in franchise history.
- Bruce Graham dominates almost all career offensive categories being the all time leader in points, goals, assists, power play goals, game winning goals & plus/minus.
- Graham scored 91 goals for the Americans. Second place all time is Colton Yellow Horn with 67.
- Scotty Howes has scored 10 of his 19 goals on the power play.
- Brian McMillin has the fewest penalty minutes this year amongst the skaters having taken one penalty for two minutes.
- In 61 NHL games Kip Brennan averaged 3.64 penalty minutes per game. In 48 games with the Americans he has averaged 4.54 penalty minutes per game. Last year he played 14 games in the Russian league (KHL) and averaged 17.1 penalty minutes per game.
- The power play percentage in the league goes from a low of 9.68% (Arizona) to a high of 25.64% (Bloomington). The Americans are second at 23.08%
- Allen has the second longest win streak in the CHL this year having won six in a row from October 31 to November 13. Only Missouri has a longer winning streak with seven.
- League attendance ranges from Missouri at the top with an average of 5320 per game to Ft. Worth at the bottom with 1545 per game. The Americans are fourth in attendance at 4113 per game.
- Nino Musitelli played in his 200th professional game Friday night.
- Berube, Daniels, & Clarke have a combined 72 shots and have not scored a goal.
- The first hat trick in Americans history was scored by Mike Willemsen. He was waived by the Brahma's, picked up by the Americans and scored a hat trick in his first game. He played four games with the Americans and was waived.
- All time leader in penalty minutes in the playoffs is Mike Salekin with 82 in the 2010 playoffs.
- Tobias Whelan had three short handed goals in the 2011 playoffs.
- The all time leader for penalty minutes in one game is Jim McKenzie with 34 (3/12/12 against the Brahmas).
- Dave Bonk & Judd Blackwater share the single game record for points scored with six.
- The best, shortest and most decisive fight in Americans history was Jim Jorgensen versus Judd Blackwater. A two punch knockout. If you have never seen this one or haven't looked at it in a while check it out on YouTube.
