average hockey player scores 3 goal a night. factoid actually statistical error. spiders ovechkin, who lives in verizon center and scores over 10000 goals each day, is an outlier and should not be counted

“He’s the reason we won the Cup last year the way he played in those two series (vs. Columbus and Washington),” Tocchet said Saturday morning at the Coyotes’ pregame skate in Scottsdale. “He’s a wonderful guy. He never let the team see his disappointment when he didn’t get to play.

“The stuff he does. Some of the trainers had family on the road and couldn’t get tickets. He gets them tickets. He pays for it. He sets them up for dinner. He does all that stuff. That’s why his teammates love him.”

Tocchet, who also has a ring as a player on Pittsburgh’s 1992 championship team, said the two have communicated since Fleury became a member of the Golden Knights and Tocchet became the Coyotes’ coach.

“I saw him at the NHL Awards, and he was excited about his new opportunity with Vegas,” Tocchet said. “When I got hired, he said, ‘Hey, let’s start a rivalry. It’ll be good for hockey.’ Once the game starts, Flower is all business.”

But when Brown, 27. does play, don’t be surprised if he raises his right fist during the Star Spangled Banner. It’s a symbol for solidarity and strength as Brown hopes to bring awareness to police brutality and inequality for minorities.

Brown, one of around 30 black players in the NHL, used this silent protest during Thursday’s exhibition game in Sunrise, finding it a middle ground for those who say kneeling for the anthem disrespects the flag. Brown said he spoke with several active military, along with his family before deciding what he felt was right.

Brown spoke to coach Jon Cooper and his Lightning teammates before Thursday’s silent protest. Captain Steven Stamkos and Ryan Callahan have said they’d support a teammate who protested.

But Brown wasn’t ready to say when, or how often, he’ll raise his fist during the anthem this year.

“It’s kind of hard to just say you’re going to do it one time or throughout the season,” Brown said. “For me, right now, we’re going to keep trying to bring awareness. You want to make sure you’re in the community, you’re backing up what you’re talking about, what you’re supporting, not just talk.”

J.T. Brown could raise fist during anthem
