Noone ever said he wasn't good offensively. The number of goals he scores on the pp is irrelevant when talking about his defensive ability. Jagr scores a lot of points on the pp... he's not great defensively.JimEIV said:There are many flaws in that theory.
1. First if a player is scoring the majority of his points on the powerplay.....This formula is scewed.
Because NO +/- is awarded.
JimEIV said:Then how do you factor in Parise has 2 shorthanded goals???????? He stinks defensively according to Oiler fans, yet he is killing penalties and being sheltered by the coach???
Much better argument, and I now think he is better defensively than I did 5 minutes ago. However I still think that the fact he is being sheltered 5 on 5 does show that he is not yet the next John Madden.
