Help is on the way.
Arrogant you have that covered..What is this supposed to address?
Perhaps. Point was that if looking at goals and assists to determine worth is bad, looking at hits and blocks is worse.
No. Dead even.
Sure, it is safe. It's also not very effective.
And I see an arrogant retort that disparages others but only offers cliches without any context. So he takes a hit to make a play, great. It doesn't help him make good plays. You talk about grunt work to allow us zone time. Fine, but he doesn't help us get the puck in effectively and we have precious little zone time with him on the ice. Look up a few posts and you'll see that I outlined all the areas where he is statistically among our worst players. Yet he is played as if he is among our best players.
He hits a lot and has taken 5 minor penalties. Plays his rear end off on the PK as well as keeps the puck safe something you dismiss but it is vitally important when you are matched up against the other teams best players. Why I even have to bring this up is laughable as it should be common knowledge about people who profess to know something about hockey when the opposite is true.
He dumps the puck in and forechecks does not monkey around and turn the puck over between the blue lines. He is great on the cycle and screens the goalie better then anyone we have on the team.
I have never been a big Leo supporter but this thread is a joke as it fails to take into consideration his real worth. He is a plus in giveway takeaway stat playing against the best the league has to offer.
