Intertesting playoff stats on the remaining starting goaltenders in the N/W and S/E finals. Three out of the four tenders are sporting an under 2.00 GAA to date.

Playoff Stats to date:

1) Scott Greenham (Oakville) 1.71 GAA after 10 games - 1 Shutout
2) Aaron Barton (Aurora) 1.79 GAA after 13 games - 0 Shutouts
3) Paul Karpowich (Wellington) 1.83 GAA after 8 games - 0 Shutouts
4) Kyle Rank (Markham) 2.39 GAA after 12 gamnes - 0 Shutouts

These stats only strengthen the "age old theory" that playoffs and championships are won on excellent goaltending, this year should be no exception.

Rank is the little guy of this group and the only American-born youngster.

Only Karpowich has another year of eligibility.

Here's the tale of the tape on the keepers of the twine;

Scott Greenham - Oakville Blades
birthdate 1987 6'2" 180 pounds hometown Addison ON

Aaron Barton - Aurora Tigers

Correction, Karpowich has one shutout. It came in game 1 against the Kingston Vees

Thanks Tyler. You would think if someone went to these lengths to discuss final 4 goalies and provide in depth stats they wouldn't miss a Dukes shutout. I wonder about the rest of the info provided. LOL

Go Dukes Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soooorrrryyyyyy Guys!

At least I went to the trouble of providing some info on the final four goalies.

Oh, by the way Dukester, your comment about "------ a Dukes shutout" it should read "-------- a Duke's shutout" Duke's is possessive. Pretty "dumb" of me to point that out to you, but I do it only to show how some comments can be really "dumb", right Dukester??

Actually, wouldn't it be Dukes' . Who cares, this is hockey, let the actions on the ice talk not our grammar!

goaltender they couldn't find a picture of, I guess. It's a shame really. They don't even have the roster list on the Blades' website.

Suffice it to say, he might just be the most modest of the four.

I am guessing, if you ask Scott Greenham, he doesn't much care about glossy photos of himself. Just take his pic when he stops the puck.

And here's your Scott Greenham in his Ottawa Jr Sens sweater from last year.

Good-looking fellow, don't you think, Matty ?
