ach shot 4-under 68 for a share of second at 3 under through 36 ho

Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Hi Kerry, A question on official stat-keeping from a daily reader. In Monday nights Devils/Habs game, P.K. Subban saved his Carey Prices bacon with a couple of goal line saves. Both were shots on goal, but werent saved by Carey Price. How is that type of situation recorded by the official scorer? Love the column,Dean Graddon Hi Dean: Thanks for being a loyal reader of Cmon Ref! Prior to the NHLs implementation of Real-Time Scoring in the 1998-99 season, both a shot on goal and a save credited to the goalkeeper would have been recorded in the official stats even though a defenceman might have made the stop. The reason for this was that pre-1998, "shot-blocks," "missed shots" and a host of other statistics was not counted. There were times when I saw a shot going wide of the net but the goalie caught the puck and he was credited with a save. Some goalies paid very close attention to "shots on goal" that was visible on the time clock. Some goalies even asked me to make sure they got credit for a save when it wasnt recorded on the score clock no differently than a skater asking for an assist on a goal. In Monday nights Devils/Habs game P.K. Subban would have been credited with a "shot-block". No "shot on goal" or "save" (to Carey Price) would be listed in the official stats. I provide you with the definition of a shot: Shot: A shot on goal occurs when an attempt by an attacking player, with intent to score a goal, either results in a goal or would have entered the goal if not stopped by the goaltender. There is also a stat for "missed shots" which would involve any shot that is off the net; wide or above the crossbar even if the goalkeeper was to catch or stop the puck. Judgment must be implemented by the Real Time Scorers to determine how and where to record each stat. Each off-ice crew is provided with a Situation Manual to guide them through various situations and to maintain consistent statistical recording from one NHL game to the next. Rule 37 presently outlines the duty of the Real Time Scorers to electronically record all official statistics for the game played. The five person crew located in the press box can utilize video review to confirm their record keeping decisions and are specifically assigned as follows: - Two (2) Stats Entry Scorers - Two (2) Time on Ice Scorers - Home and Visitors - Event Analyst Assigned by the League to oversee the Real Time Scorers, and the data collected is a Scoring System Manager (SSM), an off-ice official who is required to work one of the five (5) positions noted above in each game played. "Spotters" are also utilized to assist this five person crew (especially recording individual players time on ice) since the game is played at such a fast pace in Real Time. Real Time Stats are kept so in many different categories during a game they can provide instant feedback to coaches and fans alike as a tool to help analyze player performance and make adjustments. I talked with an NHL coach the other day who said his team got beat 3-1 in a game where they outshot their opponents by the wide margin of approximately 42 to 28. The GM was irate his team lost the game while the coach was pleased with his players energy level and effort. Perhaps not thinking about job security the coach response to the GM was, "We just need more players that can score." Ouch! The stats told the Real Time story in this case.

Langer shot a 5-under 67 on Saturday to take the second-round lead at the US$1.6 million Champions Tour event at Vallee du Richelieu. Langer, who is second to points leader Kenny Perry in the Charles Schwab Cup standings, had a bogey-free round on the challenging Rouville course. "I hit a lot of fairways today which helps me control my distance with my irons," Langer said. "Its a lot easier from the fairway than from the rough. I putted pretty nicely, too. I had a lot of speed on my putts, gave myself a lot of chances with the putts. I was a bit unlucky on some occasions but overall I was very pleased." The two-time Masters champion finished with five birdies to move to 6-under 138 through 36 holes after opening with a 71. "I played pretty good (Friday) but made too many bogeys. I made three bogeys otherwise it would have been a great round as well." With gusts up to 50 kilometres-per-hour Friday the wind tailed off only slightly for the second round with cool conditions and a bit of rain in the mix. "There was a little bit of stretch in the middle where it seemed like there were 10 to 15, 20 mile-per-hour (15-30 km/h) winds," Langer said. "Today at the end it felt very similar the last few holes. I probably hit two of the best 6-irons I could ever hit. It was at least a two-club wind." Perry birdied two of his first five holes but bogeyed the eighth and played par the rest of the way to finish with a 1-under 71 after finishing alone in second on Friday with a 70. "I made 10 pars starting from 10 through 18 so I really never could get anything going," Perry said. "It was pretty blustery out there, tough conditions. Bernhard played a beautiful round of golf to shoot a 67. I couldnt make it happen today but Im still in the golf tournament." Perry is in a five-way tie for second at 3-under 141.dddddddddddd "If he shoots even par and I shoot 4-under Ill win the golf tournament," Perry said. "So he needs to play a good round of golf and I need to play a great round of golf, and if he plays a really good round of golf nobodys going to catch him." He has 2,619 points to Langers 1,830 in competition for the Charles Schwab Cup. "My two wins this year have been from behind so I kind of like being the chaser and not the guy being chased so hopefully we can get out there (Sunday) and get off to a good start and battle him down to the end," Perry said. "But there are still a lot of guys at 3-under," he added. "One of those guys, if they shoot a great round, they could still win the golf tournament, too. Its not just between me and him. Theres probably a handful of players that can win this golf tournament." Willie Wood and Chien Soon Lu each shot 4-under 68 for a share of second at 3 under through 36 holes along with Perry, Bill Glasson and Anders Forsbrand. Rocco Mediate was also among the eight golfers to shoot 4 under or better Saturday after Dick Masts 3-under 69 on Friday was good enough for the outright lead through a blustery first round. Mediate, who cruised to his second Champions Tour win last weekend in Calgary, shot a 68 to move to 1 under. He shot five birdies but closed out with his only bogey of the day after opening with a 75 on Friday. Rod Spittle of Niagara Falls, Ont., shot his second straight 72 to remain the top Canadian. He is one of eight players tied for 17th, including Mast, who shot a 75 to fall back into the pack one day after claiming his first outright lead in 165 Champions Tour starts. Victorias Jeff Rutledge is 6-over through two rounds after shooting a 74. Marc Girouard of Saint-Sauveur, Que., shot six bogeys and three double-bogeys and finished with an 81 to fall back to 15-over 159. ' ' '
