So…and you point is? That's beside the point. I was responding to someone was saying that the fact that we looked good and won this game means that we'll see more of McCabe and less of Franson. I don't see how this game proved that when Franson played so much more than McCabe and we won. I believe Franson had more TOI in this game than the other two, so I don't see how this game proved much in that regard. If anything, it proved the opposite.
The point is you're making an argument based on nothing. The difference in ice time was due to a ton of PPs and McCabe leaving for a bit due to injury. It had nothing at all to do with their respective play.
At ES, where the strong defensive play would matter, McCabe played very well. He also meshed quite well with Pysyk. If they keep that up they will eventually get more ice time than the sheltered minutes they got today. Which will obviously lead to less ice time for others, Franson being a likely candidate to get less ES and PK time if that occurred.
You need to analyze things beyond just total ice time.
