Not a single Av on there. Nice.
 
Its not so bad to be at the bottom of some of those lists. The guys who lead in missed shots are snipers who shoot a lot. I'd take any one of them on my team.

Giveaways. If a player has the puck all the time, he is more likely to give it away than somebody who never has the puck.
 
Where is Dan Cloutier on your worst saves percentage list? Did he not play enough minutes to qualify?

Not a single Av on there. Nice.
And not a single Av in the playoffs ;)
