It's Not Just the Flyers For Lundqvist

It's nothing personal Flyers fans. Rangers' goalie Henrik Lundqvist isn't playing too much better against the Orange-and-Black this season than he is against the rest of the NHL.

Over his six previous seasons, Lundqvist's GAA always fell in the 2.24 to 2.43 range, and his save percentage in the .912 to .923 area. This season, those numbers are 1.82 and .939. So, he has amped up his game against everybody.

His 2011-12 statistics through Sunday: 

       vs. Flyers     vs. Rest of NHL
 Record 4-0-0 20-10-4
 Minutes 240 2063
 Shots Faced 118 1026
 Goals Allowed      6 64
 Saves 112 962
 Save Pct. .949 .938
 GA Avg. 1.50 1.86

About this blog

Boop – who goes by Bob Vetrone Jr. when he is undercover or paying bills – has been at the Daily News since 1982, after working for five years at the Philadelphia Bulletin up to its closing. Along with helping to build the sports scoreboards most nights, he has had great input into the papers’ special sports pullouts – March Madness, Broad Street Run, Record Breakers, Greatest Moments – as well as its day-to-day, award-winning event coverage.

A 1980 graduate of North Catholic, he took some evening college courses. Those lasted right up until the first conflict with a Big 5 doubleheader.

His favorite books growing up were the NBA Guide and the Baseball Encyclopedia, which was, for all intents and purposes, the Internet before there was an Internet.

He has been immersed in sports statistics since the early 70s, when his father (long-time sports writer, broadcaster and the Daily News’ Buck The Bartender), would take him into the Bulletin newsroom overnight in the summer and let him update the Phillies statistics in a little, black spiral notebook. But things have changed tremendously in the decades since … He now uses a big, black spiral notebook. Email him at boopstats@phillynews.com.
