In addition to supplying you with a steady supply of links, game previews, recaps, and other amazing analysis, I have been busting my hump for you nerds to track scoring chances for and against the [Toronto Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) this season. I had a late start on this, so it's been an uphill battle [catching up to where we are today, but I've done it.](http://theleafsnation.com/2011/11/15/leafs-scoring-chances-up-to-today?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

Head on over to The Leafs Nation for more wonderful charts that focus on different game states and a per-minute scoring chance number.

Follow me over the jump for many more wonderful links.

**Leafs Links:**

[The Penalty Kill Will Get Better… Probably](http://theleafsnation.com/2011/11/14/the-penalty-kill-will-get-better-probably?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
Jonathan Willis at The Leafs Nation figures that the penalty kill can't get much worse. Of course, we've been hearing this for some time, now.

[Here’s the question: whose future do you prefer, the Oilers or Leafs?](http://vintageleafmemories.blogspot.com/2011/11/heres-question-whose-future-do-you.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
Huh boy. From Michael Langlois at VLM.

[Cody Franson: Life In The Press Box](http://www.dirtydangle.com/2011/11/cody-franson-life-in-press-box.html?utm%5Fsource=feedburner&utm%5Fmedium=feed&utm%5Fcampaign=Feed%3A+DirtyDangle+%28Dirty+Dangle%29&utm%5Fcontent=Google+Reader)  
What does he do with his time up there? Dirty Dangle wonders aloud.

[Ron Wilson: NHL needs 'to find a way to protect' its goalies](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/leafs-beat/ron-wilson-nhl-needs-to-find-a-way-to-protect-its-goalies/article2235635/?utm%5Fmedium=Feeds%3A%20RSS%2FAtom&utm%5Fsource=Hockey&utm%5Fcontent=2235635)  
James Mirtle reports on Wilson's concerns for goaltender safety. I'd have to wager that having Reimer injured and being forced to watch [Jonas Gustavsson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/72169/jonas-gustavsson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) would make any coach more sensitive about the issue.

[2011 Induction Ceremony](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/2011-induction-ceremony/article2236452/?utm%5Fmedium=Feeds%3A%20RSS%2FAtom&utm%5Fsource=Hockey&utm%5Fcontent=2236452)  
These are just some images from the event, but since it's full of Leafs, it gets a link. From the Globe and Mail.

[Running Goalies and Reggie Smith's Batting Crown](http://1967ers.wordpress.com/2011/11/14/running-goalies-and-reggie-smiths-batting-crown/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
It's true that the second part is about baseball, but we can forgive 1967ers, because he's always got something interesting for us, anyway.

**Other Hockey Links:**

[Head On A Swivel](http://theleafsnation.com/2011/11/14/head-on-a-swivel?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
Can't remember how many times I heard that. Could probably remember more if I'd listened. From [Jason Strudwick](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55107/jason-strudwick?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) at The Leafs Nation.

[New chin strap flashes red to warn of potential concussions](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/new-chin-strap-flashes-red-to-warn-of-potential-concussions/article2236330/?utm%5Fmedium=Feeds%3A%20RSS%2FAtom&utm%5Fsource=Hockey&utm%5Fcontent=2236330)  
A fantastic idea. Now, if only the NHL could get its players to do their chin straps up properly. Story from James Christie at the Globe.

[Markov Nears Return](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/globe-on-hockey/markov-nears-return/article2235555/?utm%5Fmedium=Feeds%3A%20RSS%2FAtom&utm%5Fsource=Hockey&utm%5Fcontent=2235555)  
I'm not sure whether to cue the 'Jaws' theme song, or just be amazed that this bionic man is actually returning. Story from Sean Gordon at the Globe.

[Creating A New Metric: Points Versus Threshold](http://www.arcticicehockey.com/2011/11/14/2560957/creating-a-new-metric-points-versus-threshold?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
Over at Artctic Ice Hockey, Dave Shapiro works with some numbers already generated by guys like Desjardins, Miller, and the guys at Hockey Prospectus.

[The WHL, score effects, and an intro to GVT](http://blogs.thescore.com/nhl/2011/11/14/the-whl-score-effects-and-an-intro-to-gvt/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
Over at Backhand Shelf, Cam Charron explains a few things that folks who are new to our site should acquaint themselves with.

[Answering the Bell Without a Tough Guy Ain’t Easy](http://blogs.thescore.com/nhl/2011/11/14/answering-the-bell-without-a-tough-guy-aint-easy/?utm%5Fsource=feedburner&utm%5Fmedium=feed&utm%5Fcampaign=Feed%3A+HousesOfTheHockey+%28Houses+of+the+Hockey%29&utm%5Fcontent=Google+Reader)  
Sure it is. If you're not sure what to do, just watch the scene from The Holy Grail, where the French shoot a giant wooden rabbit at King Arthur and his knights. Just do what they do. From Justin Bourne at Backhand Shelf.

[Backhand Shelf Podcast with Rob Pizzo and Justin Bourne](http://blogs.thescore.com/nhl/2011/11/14/backhand-shelf-podcast-with-rob-pizzo-and-justin-bourne-4/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
Always worth a listen.
