Was pretty invisible in the games I've seen this season. Haven't seen a single standout play, though to be fair, I've only seen maybe 4 complete games by Habs, as they're not a high priority team for me.So what i get from your comment is that you have not watched him and you base your opinion of him having a ‘’worse’’ season than last year on stats.
Either way, "stronger play" isn't worth much if it's not reflected in stats. At that point, who can say if the play actually is stronger or not? And it could simply be a product of Habs themselves being a stronger team this season than the last.
The advanced stats are similarly bad, and the game flow is similarly directed from the offensive zone to the detective zone, rather than the other way around.
Of course, the offensive stats will look good when we're sampling immediately after a hot streak. But by that logic, we could say that his first 15 games he was worse than last season, as he only scored 2 points in them. And he's been better for 3 games? Well, 15 games is a greater sample size than 3 games. If we want to fiddle with the numbers in this manner.
