Wonder what the PPG breakdown is for all those guys.
You know what I hate?
So I read your post about 15 minutes ago and thought what you wrote indicated what you thought their power play stats and breakdowns were. So you know what I spent those last 15 minutes doing? Going to all of their Hockey Reference pages, splitting their power play goals and assists from their overall numbers, and then checking their percentages of goals, assists, and overall points scored on the power play in their careers, so that I could come back and answer this question.
Now I come back, read this again, and now I read it as I think you actually intended - "
points
per
game" breakdown for these guys during their careers.
