Wild About Centers
The issues the Wild have at center have been discussed ad nauseum around the web. Here are some interesting stats, though, regarding centers and face-off percentages (through today):
- Walz, 135 face-offs, 45.92% win percentage
- Sheppard, 559, 41.86%
- Demitra, 757, 45.04%
- Koivu, 784, 50.76%
- Belanger, 1116, 49.19%
With the first and last now out, I guess Koivu needs to play about 30 minutes a game, eh?
Oh, and Wild/NHL management–why is it so hard to find stats like this?
