No one gives a shit about stats though. He needs to clean up his blue line work and his giveaway last night was absolute ass, but according to some people, Key is the one and only hole in our defense and if we got rid of him, it fixes EVERYTHING.
People, especially on social media cannot stand a guy that doesn't play like Scott Stevens who is big. Their ego lies in following a sport that they live vicariously through. A sport of tough warriors that hit everything in sight and fight. all the time. Good hockey players be damned. Good hockey play be damned. And then there are people that can't get over Miller's turnovers.
Here's the thing if we never played Lindgren-Fox or if they were good last year I'd say maybe it's worth putting them together. But we were TERRIBLE 5 on 5 last year for a top team and our PP has gotten worse. And a lot of that was Lindgren playing with Fox. We made very few personnel changes and people want to just run back the same pairings.
