For your leadoff link today, have a look at [hwyatt11's Corsi Hockey League piece](http://corsihockeyleague.com/2014/11/17/six-spreadsheet-speculations-november-18th-2014/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) that has a few quick hits of statistical facts about the Leafs. He discusses several Leaf defenders, their inability to suppress shots, and Cody Franson's point streak, among other things:

> The good news is his point production is almost sure to slow down. He’s currently sporting a 12.41% on-ice shooting percentage at 5v5\. [That’s top five among defensemen who have played more than 200 minutes thus far](http://stats.hockeyanalysis.com/ratings.php?disp=1&db=201415&sit=5v5&pos=defense&minutes=200&teamid=0&type=shots&sort=ShPct&sortdir=DESC&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). For Franson, catching all the bounces couldn’t come at a better time.
