HabsWorld.net -- 

First things first, I’d like to apologize to all of my loyal readers for my
unexplained absence for the past couple of weeks.  My computer died, so I
was unable to write any articles during that span.  Now, things are back to
normal, so we can get back down to business.

 

Well, the 2003-04 season for the Montreal Canadiens has come and gone, and
overall it was a success, both for the team collectively and for many
individuals.  In this article, we’ll look at each Hab players’ statistics
for the regular season and playoffs.  We’ll be looking at strictly point
production and points per game for the skaters before breaking down some of the
special team numbers.  We begin with the regular season leading scorer,
Mike Ribeiro.  Notes:  All players who suited up for the Habs
during the season appear here, regardless of whether they remain in the
organization.  Players are sorted by their regular season
contributions.  Goaltenders also appear here, but only their offensive
“contributions” will be analyzed.
