Stat Line Of The Night — 11/10/11 — Michael Bush
Not having Darren McFadden in the line-up was supposed to negatively affect the Oakland Raiders offense, especially their running game. It didn’t, thanks in large part to an incredible effort from a more-than-capable back-up running back by the name of Michael Bush. Bush has always been the Raiders bruising goalline back, but last night he [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 11/9/11 — Craig Smith
In a rematch of last year’s Western Conference first round playoff series between the Nashville Predators and the Anaheim Ducks, the Preds were looking for a similar result against their foes from California. They would get the result that they were looking for, thanks in large part to a player who wasn’t involved in last [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 11/8/11 — Niklas Backstrom
The Minnesota Wild may not have been the best team on the ice at the Saddledome last night, but they had the best goalie, and that was all they needed. After backing up Josh Harding for four straight games, all Wild wins, Niklas Backstrom was given the opportunity to return to the starting role, and [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 11/7/11 — Nathan Horton
The Boston Bruins opened the 2011-12 NHL season with only three wins in their first 10 games, causing many to blame their early struggles on a Stanley Cup hangover. However, they have been able to turn things around recently, heading into last night’s game with victories in each of their two previous games. They would [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 11/6/11 — Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Rodgers continues to shred opposing defenses and assert himself as the best quarterback currently playing in the NFL. He entered yesterday’s game against the San Diego Chargers with 2372 passing yards, 20 passing touchdowns and only three interceptions, and he would improve those numbers in a big way during the Packers’ 45-38 victory. Rodgers [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 11/3/11 — Pekka Rinne
To say that Pekke Rinne had quite the day yesterday would be an understatement. In addition to celebrating his 29th birthday, the Predators goaltender signed the biggest contract extension in team history when he was inked to a seven-year extension worth $49-million. And to top it all off, later that night he stopped all 35 [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 11/2/11 — Joffrey Lupul
Joffrey Lupul has struggled to find consistency during his last two seasons in the NHL, but a change of scenery and playing on a line with Phil Kessel may have been exactly what he needed in order to turn things around. The Toronto Maple Leafs’ right winger entered last night’s game against the New Jersey [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 11/1/11 — Teemu Selanne
Teemu Selanne is a lot like a fine wine. He only seems to be getting better with age. The “Stat Line of the Night” is usually reserved for those whose stats help lead their team to a victory, but today we switch our focus and honor those whose stats truly defy Father Time. At 41-years-old, [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 10/31/11 — Ryan Callahan
The New York Rangers were in tough at home against the red-hot San Jose Sharks, but like any good captain, Ryan Callahan was there to lead his team to a big victory. The newly anointed captain of the Rangers entered the game with only three points – all goals – in his first nine games [...]
-
Stat Line Of The Night — 10/30/11 — Steven Jackson
Most NFL experts didn’t give the previously winless St. Louis Rams much of a chance against the New Orleans Saints, but what they failed to realize is that when you have a running back like Steven Jackson carrying the ball for you, anything is possible. Jackson proved just that yesterday afternoon. The presence of the [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 10/27/11 — Case Keenum
One day many of us may have Case Keenum on our fantasy football teams. Unfortunately for us, he will likely never have another performance like the one he had last night against the Rice Owls at Robertson Stadium. The University of Houston quarterback threw more touchdown passes in a single game than half of the [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 10/26/11 — Brian Elliott
Heading into the 2011-12 NHL season, Jaroslav Halak was pegged as the St. Louis Blues number one goaltender. Less than a month into the season, it appears as though he has lost that position to former Ottawa Senator goaltender Brian Elliott. Elliott further cemented his position as the Blues top goalie with his performance last [...]
-
Stat Line Of The Night — 10/25/11 — Johan Hedberg
With Martin Brodeur sidelined with an injury, most hockey experts will tell you that the New Jersey Devils have been playing without their best goaltender. Johan Hedberg may not verbally dispute that statement, but his play as of late has been speaking much louder than words. It was speaking loudly once again last night, as [...]
-
Stat Line Of The Night — 10/24/11 — Josh Scobee
The Baltimore Ravens entered last night’s game with a 4-1 record and their play as of late had many thinking that they may be among the top teams in the AFC. The Jacksonville Jaguars, on the other hand, had lost their last five games in a row, and with rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert leading their [...]
-
Stat Line Of The Night — 10/23/11 — DeMarco Murray
Special shout-outs go out to Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints (325 passing yards, 5 touchdowns), Arian Foster of the Houston Texans (234 total yards, 3 TDs), and Derek Holland of the Texas Rangers (8.1 IP, 2 H, 0 ER), who all put up incredible stat lines during their respective games in their respective [...]
