<a href="/users/Propeller09" target="_blank">@Propeller09</a> Man, you don't have a clue what you're watching in regards to Grzelcyk. It's okay, I guess. I'm not sure how you miss how good he is on the ice, but it is what is is. Why are you focused on TOI as your reasoning for anything? This season for 5v5 TOI:

<strong>MATTHEW GRZELCYK -- 749.00 TOTAL TOI =</strong> <em>17:04 TOI/GM</em>

1.) <strong>BRANDON CARLO -- 687.00 TOTAL TOI =</strong> <em>18:01 TOI/GM</em>
2.) <strong>CHARLIE MCAVOY -- 369.00 TOTAL TOI =</strong> <em>17:57 TOI/GM</em>
3.) <strong>ZDENO CHARA -- 503.00 TOTAL TOI =</strong> <em>17:35 TOI/GM</em>
4.) <strong>TOREY KRUG -- 616.00 TOTAL TOI =</strong> <em>17:05 TOI/GM</em>
5.) <strong>MATTHEW GRZELCYK -- 749.00 TOTAL TOI =</strong> <em>17:04 TOI/GM</em> *** One second behind Krug for #4 ***
6.) <strong>KEVAN MILLER -- 358.00 TOTAL TOI = </strong> <em> 16:27 TOI/GM</em>
7.) <strong>JOHN MOORE -- 678 TOI TOTAL TOI</strong> <em>16:14 TOI/GM</em>

Above is Grzleyck and how he compares to his peers on defense in regards to 5v5 TOI. I'm not sure where you're getting your information from but Krug is averaging 1 second more than Grzelcyk TOI and he is borderline 4th on the team in TOI. Below are Grzleyck's advanced stats and where he ranks on the Bruins defense:

<strong>MATT GRZELCYK 5v5 Stats:</strong>

<strong>CF = 52.05%</strong> <em>4th</em>
<strong>GF = 29</strong> <em>1st</em>
<strong>GA = 22</strong> <em>5th</em>
<strong>GF/60 = 2.32</strong> <em>2nd</em>
<strong>GA/60 = 1.76</strong> <em>3rd</em>
<strong>oiSV% = .940</strong> <em>3-Way Tie for 2nd</em>

His skating is elite and his hockey IQ is not far behind. He thinks the game at a high level. He is a top 4 defenseman in the league. He is easily better than Kevan Miller. Watch them play. The only thing Miller has on Grzelcyk is physicality. Everything else goes to Grzelcyk.

Also, Kevan Miller has 2 fights on the season. That's 10 minutes total missed. Lets not act like he's dropping the mitts every game.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Propeller09</b></div><div>Edmonton - Honestly - if it's the 22nd pick - probably still a decent deal. Heinen and Donato are not young. Cehlarik is changing my opinion of these guys. I know it's a very small sample, but it looks different. It looks like someone who belongs vs someone who looks like they could belong. It's not just the production. It's the ability to stay on your skates and not avoid contact. JFK has impressed recently and seems to have taken a step forward. Donato spends half of his shift faking inside, going outside and falling.

Grzelyck - I am sorry, No. He is not worth more than a 2nd. He just isn't and I like the player, but he has been a healthy scratch numerous times. There is not a team in the league that would give you a 1st for him. He is a 4-6 man.

STL - Probably a slight overpay, but Maroon adds a little toughness. This team needs it badly and can play up if need be. It's a one year thing. It can't be Chara or Miller who drop the gloves all the time, they are too important and need to be on the ice. Schenn's value is in the extra year on a good deal.</div></div>

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?

Thread: Brekels pre-TDL plan 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>They’re better on defence no doubt, debatable in goal. Who cares about regular season? 2013 Pens were 3-0 vs bruins in regular season and got swept in the playoffs. Regular season doesn’t mean much. You can talk about last playoffs when bruins played leafs if you’d like, but we both know this is a MUCH stronger leafs team, and a similar-worse bruins team. The gap between leafs and bruins forwards is much bigger than the Gap on D.

Freddy no doubt is better this year than rask. <a href="http://www.espn.com/nhl/trophies" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">http://www.espn.com/nhl/trophies</a>
I’m not a big fan of ESPN but there are many sites that say Anderson is leading the vezina race.</div></div>

How is Andersen a vezina caliber goalie this season when he has a 2.5 GAA? That's not very Vezina like. I mean, Jaroslav Halak has better numbers all over the place than Andersen.

Halak = 2.39 GAA, .924 SV%
Andersen = 2.50 GAA, .923 SV%

So if Andersen is a "Vezina candidate" than something is really broken or its all baseless hype. Look at Vezina winners of the past. You have to go back to the 80's-90's to find trash numbers like that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>Lmao. All I stated was two opinions on here that would probably be quite popular:
#1- bruins are not as good as the leafs
#2- rask is not as good as Anderson

Both those opinions would definitely be more popular than your two opinions.
Yet you classless, loser of a fan, try to mock me, and insult me, for stating my opinion. Someone clearly must have hurt you if you get that offended over me simply stating my opinion. Anyways, I don’t care what your thoughts are, because at the end of the day; majority of people on this site would agree with my opinions over yours. Have a good day. Enjoy being miserable! :)</div></div>

That's okay, since a majority of the opinions on this site suck ass anyway. Bruins are better on defense and in goal than the Leafs. Bruins are 3-1 against the Leafs this season. Rask is better than Andersen. His numbers are better over the past 3 seasons, and his career.
