You know something Buchnevich, it never fails to amaze me how people like you are choosing to express themselves on these boards.
The amount of wrong in your post is impressive.
Someone who maybe sees a player 10 times max per season lecturing someone who watches a player every game.
Just admit you were uninformed on the topic.
Adam Fox is a #1 defenseman and a great player. He also benefits from some of the most sheltered minutes in the NHL among #1 defensemen because of his OFFENSIVE prowess.
No, no, no. You aren’t going to look at a stat sheet, and then tell us your flawed conclusions are facts.
His coach uses him in that way because he’s an idiot coach. The team might be better and have more success if he didn’t have a cave man view.
He's not on either of the Rangers PK units because they're trying to preserve his legs for O zone opportunities, which he is suited for in an elite way.
There’s quite literally zero factual proof for this claim.
He is a regular PK’er.
Maybe actually check the stats the next time before you get too confident
The top #1 defenders in the league play, on average, about 25 minutes per game. Despite being a #1 defenseman, Fox doesn't rank in the top 25 for minutes per game. Why? Because he doesn't play as much defense. Why is that? Because he's not elite at it and the Rangers realize that.
Even more wrong. He doesn’t play that much because his coach is a literal idiot. Nothing more. Fans of the team understand this. People like you who think they can read a boxscore and draw the truth from that won’t understand it. Well, maybe they should. I won’t suggest most people would draw such a laughable conclusion as you did.
Anyone suggesting Fox is not elite defensively has never watched him play or looked too deeply into his stats. I literally don’t think I’ve seen Fox’s defensive fancy charts ever not in the 90’s.
He's great at puck control, zone exits and entries and has outstanding Corsi ratings for that reason (in addition to being paired with K'Andre Miller)
Wait, are you serious?
So first of all, he’s been paired with K’Andre Miller maybe five games all season. He’s not paired with Miller now either.
And Miller is atrocious this season anyway. Just a complete lack of knowledge about the topic you’re talking about.
All good decisions. So maybe next time, if you are going to be wrong about something, you could at least choose to be polite about it. The rest of the posters here would appreciate that as well.
It takes a very self confident person to tell someone who watches a player every game that they don’t know what they are saying and you instead know better because of what you conceptualize or a poor reading of stats.
Rich to lecture someone about being polite after they act so condescending.
