Making The Most Of An Opportunity

from Adam Kimelman of NHL.com, The lasting image of Steve Downie might be from his rookie season, when he delivered a vicious check to the head of Ottawa?s Dean McAmmond. Downie, then with the Philadelphia Flyers, received a 20-game suspension for the hit, and gained a reputation as a dirty player. Last season, however, Downie went a long way in changing his reputation from troubled to talented. In his first full NHL season, with the Tampa Bay Lightning, Downie showed the skills that made him a first-round draft pick, as he scored 22 goals on just 116 shots. Of the 110 players who scored 20 goals last season, none accomplished it on fewer shots than Downie, and only one played less than the 14:42 per game he averaged last season. continued with more players that fall in this group?
