Leafs beat Habs 3-1 – Scoring Chances
By Cam Charron
12 years ago
The Toronto Maple Leafs played in front of Randy Carlyle for the first time tonight, playing an excellent game defensively and finally breaking down Carey Price in the third period after heavily out-chancing Montreal after they took the 1-0 goal. Mikhail Grabovski came into his own in the second half of the game with three taken chances and scored twice.
The re-tooled second line actually looked excellent. Matt Frattin scored the other Leafs’ goal, and Montreal’s only response was the Max Pacioretty line. Click past the jump for totals:

I also tallied up individual chances taken and created, as well. A scoring chance is defined as a clear shot from a dangerous area on the ice (usually measured between the faceoff dots up to the top of the circle, pictured above) and are tracked using a terrific app from Vic Ferrari found here: http://timeonice.com/xsc30.php
Similar to assists in basketball, we’ve also developed “chances created” which is a clear pass attempt with the goal of setting up a scoring chance. The reason to do this is to reduce the luck element found in the traditional assist counter, where sometimes all a player does is touch the puck at a certain point:
| TORONTO | Chances Taken | Chances Created | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mikhail Grabovski | 4 | 0 | 4 |
| Matt Frattin | 2 | 2 | 4 |
| Tyler Bozak | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Phil Kessel | 2 | 1 | 3 |
| Joffrey Lupul | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Dion Phaneuf | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| David Steckel | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Nik Kulemin | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| J-M Liles | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Clarke MacArthur | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| MONTREAL | Chances Taken | Chances Created | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Max Pacioretty | 3 | 0 | 3 |
| David Desharnais | 0 | 2 | 2 |
| Tomas Plekanec | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Lars Eller | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Erik Cole | 1 | 0 | 1 |
The three stars in the building were given to Mikhail Grabovski, Erik Cole and Carey Price. I have no idea what Erik Cole did out there that was so special, but a few players on both teams played much better games. Pacioretty for the Habs was their best player, and Price wasn’t all that solid, stopping just 10 of 13 scoring chance attempts that hit the net.
