It's Friday night, so I'm afraid I don't have any comments but a lot of the numbers are self-explanatory.

I'm surprise, because Price numbers arn't that good on the regardings others gaolies.. The proof that statistics arn't all...
What's wrong with Price's numbers? He is a top 5 NHL goalie no matter how you look at them.
Those numbers are all in english
Interesting that Fleury's numbers are so different from even strength to penalty killing: that might be a weakness of the team more than any change in his performance. I was surprised to see him at the top of the 5 on 5 categories, though, as guys like Turco and Nabokov get a lot more press. If you go to traditional regular-season stats, Fleury is 11th in GAA (2.33) behind both Turco (9th, 2.31) and Nabokov (3rd, 2.14), but does better on the save-percentage front which is usually a better indication of goaltending performance (in my view). There, he's tied for fourth with Tim Thomas, and is ahead of everyone still in the playoffs (except teammate Ty Conklin): the other notables are Dan Ellis (first) and J.S. Giguere (third). With numbers like these, Fleury should get more attention than he does...
True... most of the attention Fleury gets is as the supposed achilles' heel of the team. Although his performance last night wasn;t outstanding, I think he'll bounce back in the newxt few games.
James, please, write legend to this stats! What is it GAON/60, for example?
I think the abbreviations are like this:
GA = goals against
GA/60 = goals against per 60 minutes
GAON = goals against when player is on the ice (as opposed to goals against when player is off the ice - more useful for skaters)
GAON/60 = goals against when player is on the ice per 60 minutes
GF = goals for
I believe they are defined at the Behind the Net site where all the numbers are before James pulled out the relevant ones for the playoffs. Check there for definitions and I think you won't be confused.
