Top 10 in blocked shots

[BostonAJ]

1. Hal Gill 49
2. Anton Volchenkov 32
3. Josh Gorges 29
3. Brent Sopel 29
5. Roman Hamrlik 28
6. Chris Pronger 26
6. Rob Blake 26
8. Johnny Botchuk 24
8. Ryan O'Byrne 24
10. Brooks Orpik 23

Hal Gill has been a monster this post season. Halak gets all the credit, but Gill has helped keep Ovechkin and now Crosby to limited presence on the score sheet. This is the guy that Jagr once called "the strongest defenseman in hockey." Props.

To bad Ian Laperriere isn't on that list. His couple of blocked shots would come in real handy about now!

Wow, Rob Blake made the list? I don't think his are on purpose, he just isn't fast enough to get out of the way.

I think most of those are blocks on his own teammates.

2. Anton Volchenkov 32

It is worth noting that this was in six games.

I think Volchenkov blew everybody's doors off in that series. Guy's got balls of concrete.

4 of the top 5 have played against the Penguins. Coincidence or do the Penguins have a legitimate problem getting shots through?
