Top scorer, just Crunch uniform points: Kyle Palmieri, 51 points (22-29)

Goalie records:

Games played Wins Losses GAA SAV%
Ray Emery 5 4 1 1.98 .943
Jean-Philippe Levasseur 45 13 23 3.01 .912
Timo Pielmeier 37 16 17 3.09 .906
Igor Bobkov 2 2 0 3.51 .917

 

Attendance total over 40 games: 206,158

Attendance average over 40 games: 5,164

Our attendance average isn't bad at all when you consider that a sellout for our building is a little over 6,000 people. It was, despite what our coach seemed to think, pretty much on par with previous seasons, whether they were winning or losing. Crunch fans are still one of the strongest and most consistent in the league when it comes to support, no matter the on-ice record.

I'm still hopeful we can continue to support your Ducklings. I loved what I saw to end our season, and I don't want to go through another building year. I think we can do so much working together. I hope our respective front offices can reach an agreement.

Good luck in your playoff run!
