Patrick Kaleta most annoying player in league (Statistically)

by Ubiquitous on Jun 10, 2010 3:48 PM EDT

I dug up these tables from a while back in a fanpost i never posted.

The Kaleta is officially the player the opposing team most wants to cheapshot. Also of note is the very low number of penalties he took. (misconducts and coincidental penalties are not included)

Minor note: Tables do not include the final day(or 2) of season. I'm too lazy to recreate them just to fix that. They don't change much anyway. (http://www.behindthenet.ca/2009/5_on_5_pens.php?sort=10&mingp=30&mintoi=5&team=&pos=)

The first table is a sorted list by penalties drawn per 60 minutes of ice time

The second table is the two players with a higher penalty +/- then him. (He's tied with Datsyuk, but drew 5 more penalties)

I never thought i'd say that Kaleta was tied with Datsyuk in any statistic!

Nice post. I knew he drew a ton of penalties, but having stats is a plus.

also of note is the fact that the two people with a higher penalty +/- then him played 5 minutes more than him a game as well as 26 more games.

So he’s efficient, too.

Not even the Toronto Maple Leafs could kill my optimism

Then i would really have felt silly writing 90% of a post and then sitting on it for a month.

Haha

Well we all know other players hate him. Just good to see it in numbers. Nice post Ubi. Plus after reading that all I could do was picture Kaleta do his little twirl after a goal haha.

Haha, gotta love it. Im not sure if you play the EA Sports NHL series, but they say they are adding custom goal celebrations to the ’11 version. That would be cool if he was one of them they chose.

Yea.. I play the NHL series. I’m looking forward to ‘11, not thrilled that they’re having a blackhawk on the cover for the second straight year but oh well. If they don’t have “Twinkle Toes Flintstone” I’m going to be upset.
