It is not the same as the anatomical cross-sectional area (ACSA), which is the area of the crossection of a muscle perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. In a non-pennate muscle the fibers are parallel to the longitudinal axis, and therefore PCSA and ACSA coincide.
I am going to be counting down the top ten best NHL players today. NOTE: Honour Roll to the players that missed the cut: Patrick Kane, Patrick Marleau, Dany Heatley, Nicklas Backstrom, Jonothan Toews, Jarome Iginla, Marc Savard, Marian Gaborik, Alexander Semin.areer Games: 621. Ilya Kovalchuk has gone six straight seasons with over forty goals. He is the second best goal scorer in the NHL and is a natural sniper. He has great speed. He is the THIRD best NHL player today.
Only six players have had their number retired by two different NHL teams: 1  Bobby Hull-Chicago Blackhawks and Winnipeg Jets / Phoenix Coyotes. 2  Gordie Howe-Detroit Red Wings and Hartford Whalers / Carolina Hurricanes. 3  Wayne Gretzky-Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings (also retired league-wide).
