<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Victor24</b></div><div>I watch plenty of games. Pit, Van, Col, Car mostly but I try to see everyone play at least a few times a year. I noticed Forbort several times and never in a good way but my sample size was small. So I withheld judgement. Then I saw his stats.

That is true that sometimes players just throw the puck at the net because a good defensive defenseman is blocking their path. To account for that they have a statistic called high danger shots. As I stated before, Forbort is 182nd in high danger shots against. So he is not making guys throw the puck at the net. They are getting quality chances against him.

He is bad. Really bad. I'm sorry you can't see that. And, my man, it is not me looking stupid. I have evidence he is bad, you have "trust me, he's great". Not hard to see who looks like a fool. ;)</div></div>

You’re just missing a wonderful game. Too bad. Maybe baseball is more your speed after all

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Victor24</b></div><div>Forbort appears to be a fairly competent penalty killer. So he got paid 3MM to be effective 23% of his ice time and be a massive drain on his team 77% of the time. What a deal!

To be a shut down defenseman, you need to shut down teams. He allows among the most shots, possession, and goals in the NHL. He is by no means a shut down anything.

Stats are useful WHEN you don't know who a player is. It allows you to objectively look at a player and see how they compare to their team and the league. If you think otherwise then YOU are missing the point of statistics.

Keep being a Boston homer.</div></div>

You’re missing a wonderful game out there! Get your eyes off the stat sheet and maybe watch a game. It’s pretty fun.

Sometimes strong defensive d men (forbort is one of the best in the league. Ah yes, the Boston homerism. How crazy to think an important piece to the best regular season team in nhl history is good) allow a lot of outside shots. Hell, chara would be on the ice for a ton of shots against in his prime. Teams couldn’t get inside so they threw it on net.

If you rely 100% on stats, you’ll look as stupid as you do now. Don’t be that guy. Try to be better
