Bergeron ROR, sure..
Horvat was better than Bergeron though last full season played.
This season Bergeron has Horvat beat with 938 wins vs 841 wins.
Coutuerier? lol 29 games
Staal? nop.... 57 percent like Horvat but Staal has taken like 250 plus less faceoffs.
Kopitar has won less faceoffs than Horvat despite Kopitar having played 8 more games. so no.
Tavares? same thing. has won less faceoffs, good percentage, but isnt relied on to be the face off guy much. Has taken 200 less face offs in 6 more games than Horvat.
Bergeron , Oreily, Horvat are kings of kings when it comes to the dot.
Going back the last three seasons, looking at guys who have taken at least 400 faceoffs during that time, he slots in at a respectable 14th. Looking at this season alone, guys that have taken over 200 faceoffs, he's 12th.
I'm not sure where you're looking, but it is okay for him to be a respectable 12th-14th at faceoffs in the league. He doesn't need to be top three, and you're only doing yourself and the discussion a disservice by trying to twist the narrative and statistics to make him top three.
