Too lazy alert... what were our faceoff numbers in our 16 playoff wins?
Backstrom had a sausage finger. Kuz had 1 shoulder. Eller is never plus fiddy. No offense but I don't think Beagle was the key to our cup... just a great supporting player.
How'd we do it? I'd say dominant physical play trumped any faceoff advantage, or disadvantage. We may lose that O zone faceoff, but their D men runs risk of getting pounded.
I even question"wins" not to mention the crooked linesman, and coin flip who won scrums immediately after a drop. A win is a win in the D zone but the puck goes the wrong way, and that Dman that gets the puck, better be good.
