This is correct. This team is FAR from perfect... but is as good as anyone else because EVERY team has holes. Depending on what happens at the TDL, and let's face it, every good team is up against the cap so..., I see this post season as being even more of a crapshoot than usual. and a low seed made it all the way to the Finals last year... beating a record setting regular season team in the first round.
All one-dimensional players as opposed to multifaceted, as far as I'm concerned.
Panarin and Zibanejad, I could see the argument that they have huge blind sports.
They all do. Fox lacks speed. I said from the very beginning of his career that once opponents figure him out, he will not be able juke people like he once did on guile.
I'll just say, when this core is done and turns over, the FO needs to adopt a more well rounded approach tmto player evals that's also less about finesse for building the next core.
Fine but I would like you to officially strike Adam Fox from the record. He's one-dimensional like Andre the Giant had one beer.
Simple metric: how many oohs and aahs does he draw per 60 nowadays?
They are consistent. They win pretty consistently, and not only that, I pretty much know what to expect out of this team most nights in terms of the style of play, the flow of the play, where they will likely perform, and where they will likely not.
I suppose you could come to that conclusion without ever watching the guy play, which is what you have done. Skjei has been excellent for Carolina. He's not Larry Robinson, but his defense is steady. He can move the puck and puts up points considering he isn't on PP1.
