A corsi for percentage better than 43 would be a start as would a cf% rel and ff% rel better than -8.I'm curious, what do you expect from Polack each game?

we need some tuffness on our team that can play more than 8 minutes. Perhaps not now, but playoff hockey requires it! Polak is flawed but adds an important ingredient to the team now. It would be great his flaws out but we need a power forward to get us to the ultimate goal

Curious what #'s does an average 6th defenseman put up around the league?A corsi for percentage better than 43 would be a start as would a cf% rel and ff% rel better than -8.
I'm not exactly sure. I'll look in to it but I suspect it's a good deal better than that.Curious what #'s does an average 6th defenseman put up around the league?
Thanks. Please post it as I'm curious to know because I am a polak supporter for many reasons and maybe I'm biased and that could sway my thoughtsI'm not exactly sure. I'll look in to it but I suspect it's a good deal better than that.
Do me a favour. Go back and look at how slow the Leafs were vs. Colorado and vs. Vegas and compare that to their team speed vs. Arizona and Tampa (the game before and after).
And while you're at it, look at the Vegas game and how many times Polak's passes were picked off.
Add that to the amount of minor penalties Polak takes and its clear that Polak is losing us games.
Just do that and you'll be convinced.
And please don't appeal to the authority of his 600 games played without recognizing that no one has offered Polak a contract for the past 2 years other than the Leafs.

It is quite interesting seeing people crap on a 23 year old defenseman who has shown the ability to put up above average possession numbers over a valid sample size.
He's younger than Calle Rosen.
Hahaha
How about that vast reduction in Polaks icing% eh?

He can take awful penalties and completely suck 5v5 but you just can't get enough toughness
Being better than the other team is overrated
I don't know if he penalties are up this year tbhHe added to his penalties/60 to make up for it
What a pro

I know you were dead sure that the change in the rules would spell his end in that regard bit he adjusted his game well for the new rule.
I also feel son of the calls he gets are for being toI strong along the boards. 9 out of 10 times he does the same thing to break up a cycle of get the puck from a player with no call. It's just the odd time the player goes flying and the whistle blows.
That's not to say he hasn't taken a bad penalty but it happens to a lot of players
Shot based metrics have less correlation to a winning team than goal based metrics.

I'm still waiting for the proof he's a liability 5v5For a guy on the team for his PK ability (which is overrated by the way) it's completely unacceptable he's taking over a minute a game in penalties
If he's a liability 5v5 (which he is) what the hell is he actually doing on this team?
If anything this tells me that using all situations based possession numbers was dumb on my part when talking about a pker who gets no pp time.Your trying to be sneaky with claiming Polak is horrible because of a -8 CF ReL,
- +7.55 Morgan Rielly
- ...
- ...
- ...
- -8.19 Roman Polak
- -13.80 Ron Hainsey
- -14.24 Nikita Zaitsev
So would he be like pizza good or mac and cheese good? A pogo maybe?I'm still waiting for the proof he's a liability 5v5
I see him make Lee's mistakes than Carrick Marincin and even Gardiner
He is not as skilled as those players but he is food at his job

Yep even 40 games in.
