JBo is having his 1st good season in 6 years, while Pietrangelo and Vlasic have never been at Seabrook's level or achieved nearly as much. Seabrook is currently having a much better season than all 3 to boot.
1. Jay Bow was having a fantastic season when we traded him. Finally playing under a new coach (Hartley) allowed him to play to his strengths instead of being the teams shut down defenceman (Sutter). So no, Jaybow isn't playing is 1st good season in 6 years.
2. Pietrangelo > Seabrook. - Piets is already a legit #1D at the age of 23! Since you like stats, at the age of 21 he put up 51 points something Seabrook has never accomplished. Also, Piets has never had a Norris winning D partner. He's never been at Seabrook's level? Please! He's 5 years younger and looks better already.
If you think it's close, just put up a poll. Piets skating, IQ, offensive and defensive game are ahead of Seabrook's. (and I think Seabs is a good D!)
3. Much better season than all 3? You do realize that Vlasic and Seabrook play completely different game styles? So yes, if you're just simply stat watching, Seabrook would apprear to be having a "much better season". If we are simply just looking at stats, the word "much" shouldn't be used. Seabrook has 3 more points than Piets and 4 more points than JayBow, while playing 4 more games.
- Seabrook: 5g-26a-31
- Piets: 5g-23a-28
- JayBow: 3g-24a-27
All in all, I think TSN put up great D pairings. Seabrook could make this team, and if he did, no one would complain. He's a great defender. But to make ridiculous statements like "Pietrangelo and Vlasic have never been at Seabrook's" or "Seabrook is currently having a much better season than all 3 to boot." just makes you look like a big homer.
