Other than a 10 point difference in the regular season, their stats were remarkable similar.What does that have to do with your original remark of them being remarkably similar in the regular season?
You said a 10 point difference was huge and was the difference between a great D-Man and a Good D-Man. I said, "Fair enough, there's a 10 point difference in the playoffs but going Bouchard's way".
When Hasek played for the Sabres, the D got huge benefits both offensively (points) and defensively (+/-) having him as a backstop because they knew they could take chances they would not be able to take if they had an average goalie.I just proved to you that it doesn’t in evaluating how good a defender is though? Lol
How does a goalie making a save excuse a dog shit defensive play?
A bad play is bad regardless of whether the goalie makes a save or not. Simple as that. So bringing in goalies really doesn’t show anything.
If Hughes OR Bouchard turns over the puck at the blue line it’s a bad play regardless if the goalie makes a save or not, so how can a goaltender cover up for a defensemen if you watch the games?
