The Flames are sitting in last place with 2.29 goals per game. The second-last team in G/GP right now is SEA (2.46). First is COL (4.08).
The final year of the dead puck era was the 2003-04 season. Here are some comparisons:
- The top team in G/GP was OTT (3.20). (Compare that to COL's current 4.08).
- CGY's current 2.29 G/GP would have been the 5th worst that season, ahead of only WSH (2.27), ANA (2.24), CBJ (2.16) and CAR (2.10).
- SEA's current 2.46 G/GP would have been good for 19th place that season, ironically bumping CGY (2.44) down one spot to 20th.
- The Rocket Richard that season was (as most of us know) awarded to three players (Iggy, Nash and Kovalchuk), who were each tied for the league lead with only 41 goals.
- Our current individual G/GP leader is Matt Coronato (0.30). He's on pace to finish the seaon with 24 goals.
- The current league G/GP leader is Nathan MacKinnon (0.85). He already has 22 goals and in one less game played. Coronato is sitting at exactly 100th overall in G/GP.
