Islanders Esoteric - The First One

Its here – Finally. The first edition of this year’s esoteric.

What do Park, Turgeon and Flately have in common? Read on and you will see.

The Islanders have now played in 1,400 games at home with the loss to St Louis. They will play their 1,400 Away game and their 2,800th Franchise game on Thursday in TB.

Thomas Pock, who was the only player not to play on Friday, gets the distinction of being the 426th player to ever lace up the skates for the Islanders in a regular season game. Thompson would be 425th, Streit would be 424th and Doug Weight would be the 423rd players accordingly.

426!!!

Witt went over 1300 NHL PIMs during the melee the other afternoon. Weight is 3 PIMs shy of 900 total.

I am trying to confirm but I think Park is only at 92 NHL Assists and is 8 Assists away from 100 NHL Assists.

Hunter is on pace for a 54.7 G season
Weight, Streit and Gervais are on pace for a 54.7 Assist season
Weight is on pace for an 82 Pts season.

I work hard on keeping the stats correct. I use a variety of sources and crunch the numbers. Problems arise. It could be my entering a formula or stat incorrectly. It could also be that one source has one piece of info and another source has another. I crunch the numbers trying to make the numbers make the most sense. So if you see an error let me know.
