Obstruction Penalties Drawn Per-minute Played

By Kicks @Chrisboucher73
This post will focus on the number of obstruction-penalties each Montreal Canadiens player has drawn per-minute played. Obstruction penalties are defined as any penalty for hooking, holding, interference, or tripping. Only those events that have occurred since the Olympic break are included here.
Rene Bourque and Michael Bournival have drawn the most obstruction penalties per-minute played. David Desharnais has drawn the most among centremen, while PK Subban and Andrei  Markov have drawn the most obstruction penalties per-minute among defensemen.
 
 This graph represents the number of obstruction penalties each Habs player has drawn for every 1 offensive-touch. For the purpose of this graph, an offensive-touch is defined as any play attemted while in possession of the puck.
Once again, Rene Bourque has drawn the most obstruction penalties per-offensive-touch. This demonstrates that Bourque has been forcing the play while in possession, but it is also impacted by the fact that the vast majority of Bourque's offensive-touches take place in the offensive-zone. Michael Bournival has also drawn a high number of obstruction penalties per-offensive-touch, while Desharnais leads all centremen in this category. Markov and Subban have drawn the most penalties per-offensive-touch among defensemen, which is impressive considering that they also lead the defense in offensive-touches per-minute played.

These reports can be produced for any player at any level. All that's required is video. Feel free to contact me by e-mail with any questions, comments, or inquiries about the services I provide.
