Woof! That's the only response here. Especially your Grzelcyk take. WOOF!! You do realize Grzelcyk has been scratched ONCE this season, right? The other 2 games he didn't play in were due to a LBI. He shouldn't sit either. Kevan Miller should sit. You have zero idea what you're talking about if that's your Grzelcyk take. Do you watch hockey?
I may not, but Cassidy does. Check the TOI last year in the playoffs. There is Zero chance Grz plays over Miller. Zero.
A) he is not as good miller
B) he is LD. He is/might better than Moore, but still your 6th best man.
There is one guy on the team with less SH TOI and that is Krug.
He is 2nd in PP ice time, BUT McAvoy is just behind and has been out most of the year, so I assume those numbers will decline and McAvoy will over take him in the number 2 spot
For me - especially on a team that has Krug who is clearly Elite offensively, The SH TOI shows where they rank or how the coaches feel about the player, especially heading into a playoff where you will need to shut down Toronto and Tampa
These are actual stats not your not how you feel. Please explain them if he is as good as you are saying. Also - find me anyone on any fan base who would trade a 1st for Grz. I will give you the 5th could be a 4th for ECF and 3rd for SCF. Fine.
SHTOI
1) Chara
2) Carlo
3) Moore
4) Miller
5) McAvoy
6) Grz
7) Krug
5v5 TOI
1)McAvoy
2) Carlo
3) Chara
4) Krug
5) Grz - 2 secs more than moore.
6) Moore
7) Miller
I just don't see how he plays in the playoffs. Please give me some sort of tangible reason, not just Woof and absolutely no explanation
Also Miller's TOI is down because he has left two games injured and he fights.
