An Opportunity to Win the "Shot Quality" Prize

WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 09: Dennis Wideman #6 of the Washington Capitals celebrates his power play goal at 12:33 of the first period against the Toronto Maple Leafs and is joined by Alex Ovechkin #8 at the Verizon Center on December 9, 2011 in Washington, DC.

Quoth James Mirtle: "It's comical at this point how poor the Leafs PK continues to be. I don't even know what more there is to write on it after three years."

Toronto's Save % at 4-on-5:

2007-08: 855 (28th)

2008-09: 824 (30th)

2009-10: 848 (28th)

2010-11: 835 (30th)

2011-12: 829 (28th)

Now we know that Toronto's goaltending has absolutely sucked during most of this time, but their performance on the PK is even worse than we would expect. What's the deal? Show us some systematic analysis of Toronto's failures and you could win the "Shot Quality" prize.

Not exactly a shot quality prize entry...

but interesting nonetheless: all Leaf goalies since 2007-08 have been below average at 4-on-5, but were perfectly serviceable goalies before and after their time with the Leafs. Full stats and more here.
