Does anyone- and I mean, literally anybody else at all- hold this position?!?Suchy =< Stapleton
It has the feel of statement that, if presented in the form of a motion, would risk dying for lack of a "second."
In the HoH Top-60 Defensemen Project roughly 5 years ago, Suchý came in at #49, and Stapleton wound up omitted. [Stapleton didn't entirely escape consideration, having leaked into the discussion in the penultimate round.] In the HoH Top-100 projects, half-a-dozen panelists found room for Suchý on their lists of 120... and zero-zip gave Stapleton any such consideration.
Time grows short, and there are over 3-dozen other interesting players who could be discussed... but the 'Coles-Notes' response is that we go astray by averting our eyes from Nation v. Nation Play and disregarding the work of video-analysts.Break down my analysis and explain why it’s wrong.
Advantage? Yes- all right. Significant advantage?!Jacques Plante Effect:
Obviously, Orillia has a significant advantage in puck-stopping
Plante's Playoff Save Percentage is .922. Parent's Playoff Save Percentage is .916. [And, as @Hockey Outsider has pointed out, Parent is almost certainly undervalued by the Save Percentage stat, as his often short-handed team faced more high-danger scoring chances.] Even without considering that aspect of the equation, an .006 edge in Save Percentage, over the course of a seven-game series, counts for about one (1) goal.
Teasing my closing argument, I see.Chemistry is underrated.
Denneny with Nighbor,
Novy with Nedomansky,
Sedin with Sedin...
Dang, that's good.
Thanks.
