Folks will point to shot quality, etc etc etc with buff, but the problem i have with that is case-and-point bogo and trouba over these last few games.
They've given upa tonne of "buff esq" mistakes/turnovers/breakaways, but we've had good enough goal-tending to compensate. It isn't that there turnovers in the slot are worse, or that they hustle more when they get caught at center ice, it's that our goaltender makes the save.
It's easier for a goaltender to stop every dzone turn-over-turned-opportunity over a 9 game stretch then it is over the past 150+ games buff has played as a jet.
If those continue to happen at the rate they are they'll eventually look no different then buff.
short story: Right result doesn't justify a wrong decision.
This is my view of the situation. Buff wasn't the only guy turning the puck over when he was on D, because there are plenty of them now. Like Maurice said, there's entirely too much focus on him in general.
