I’ve been steering clear of Stanley discourse lately but….Stanley just standing there is not a smart way to defensively play
Basically sure you try to plug a lane but it’s easy for an nhl forward to skate around. Worst you take a penalty. At best you have a good poke check.
It’s the little things like that with this guy. I think if he skates more there he’d look more competent and ease more concerns. Are some ppl over critical? Sure. Are critics valid in their concerns? I lean towards yes when you see lazy plays like that
Aside - Utah crowd seems much more engaged than I recall their previous home crowd being
