Is that Garret?
What's this health update doing in the Stanley thread???
Honestly, the third pairing guys are interchangeable. But at home you can afford to have the lower mobility guys in the game because you can decide the matchups. I see Stan/Schenn as more of a liability on the road than at home. Use Miller/Fleury on the road, keep Stan/Schenn for home. Your third pair is fresher. Why when I coached in the NHL...
I don't see Schenn coming out of this series. He's too valuable for the PK, even though he was on the verge of being beaten back to the net on Rantanen's hat trick goal.
But he's out there and often effective. Fleury stepped up on the PK which was nice. If Morrissey draws in I'd like to see him with Schenn, because frankly Morrissey-De Melo were not great against St. Louis and Fleury-Melo have had 2 straight strong games. The net front strength of Schenn coupled with Morrissey's ability to create offense with his speed would seem like a good fit at this point.
Miller didn't impress me all that much. Honestly Jets might be better having Samberg run PP2.
See this is the thing I hate.
Just because Buffdog isn't all "Zomg Stanley Is The Worst!" you incorrectly state that he thinks he's good. Please show me posts where he says he's good? Why misrepresent his clearly stated opinion?
How about listen to what others are saying and try having a logical discussion instead?
My question would be do people think that Arniel icing Heinola and Kupari in these playoffs, and benching Gustafsson in favour of JAD and Toninato signal a slow shift towards a more North American style of hockey? That could see some changes in the offseason.
Yeehaw, babies.and he is taking line rushes with demelo, good sign we get our full team for the 1st time these playoffs
Is there a possibility that you notice it more with Stnnley than other D men because you're biased against him?
The reality is that it happens to every single decensemen in the league, but you're more likely to see it if you're watching it
Realistically, you're talking about anecdotes... but the stats guys will tell you that over a long enough period, that should show up in the numbers. And during the season (and so far in thr playoffs), he's largely fine as long as he's paired with the right partner and his minutes and matchups are managed properly.. which is what you'd expect for any bottom pairing defenseman
I still think the hatred for Stanley is a self-fullfilling thing that started with Garrett's article about him prior to the draft (that I suspect had less to do with what he thought about the player and more to do with letting the world know that he has some kind of inside scoop on what an NHL team is planning) and has snowballed from there. When the entire fan base is biased against him and just holding their breath for him to f*** up so they can say "SEE!!!! STANLEY SUCKS" when it happens... while ignoring the same gaffes from other players
