hm. Why would it be interesting? I think it tells more about the players he went up against, then about himself, no?a horrible player could have 0 shots blocked because he never faced a decent blocker in his face, while a more then average player can get many shots blocked because he played "magic Block Maniac" a lot of times in his carreer...

Now, if any of this is true and as widespread as the guy suggests, it's obviously a problem for a league working assiduously to convince fans it's not some rigged carny game.
