Stone has not, is not, and will not be paired with OEL. That's Murphy that developed the chemistry, not Stone. Michalek is an over the hill defender and not capable of bei a top 4 defenceman. PuttingZ over Murphy is just a slap in the face to Murphy who has been developing very nicely

The 3RD spot belongs to Schenn, as Chayka says that Michalek is a depth, vet presence at this point.

Love how the guy with the 3rd highest TOI for D (Murphy) is considered a "press box rotation" type of player in the analysis. Post-Thanksgiving, Murphy had 3 games with less than 18 minutes TOI. Pre-Thanksgiving, he had 10 such games.

That sounds like someone who was struggling with certain partners as we slotted him up and down the lineup, only to realize which pairing he would work well with after sitting him for a few games here and there. Definitely not someone who will be rotating in and out of the press box...

When an author spends more time reading press clipping than watching tape, he writes this type of analysis.

I take issue with the claim that Duclair had tougher minutes than Domi. I thought that Duclair was sheltered to some extent.

I take issue with the evaluation of our defensemen. All of it.

These kinds of articles are easily dismissed. They are uninformed guesses from the outside and don't know how the team is really setup or functions. They drive interest to the site to see how "your team" is looking, but only a casual fan or less would believe a majority of what they print.

Thanks for saving me the time guys. Uninformed articles like these are better left unread. There's plenty of other things to annoy myself with.

Up there with Tanner's article that Rundblad should have been a hot commodity by NHL teams this off season?

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Perhaps Chris Thomas has a better knowledge base in NASCAR.

Man you guys can be a nasty lot.......

Man you guys can be a nasty lot.......

Wouldn't need to be if authors would do some research, or hell even just skimming this forum

True, but the article is pretty rough, as are a lot of the ones posted recently from lwos.

I'm shocked they didn't have Chris Pronger on our top pairing and Pavel Datsyuk as our top center.

I haven't gotten through the entire article yet but while we may use Keller as a winger, I'm almost certain he was drafted as a Center. Like Domi, whom everyone seems to forget.

Either way, I'm continuing the article because I'm dieing for Coyote news and opinions on our team. Good or bad, it's always nice to see where the rest of the league sees us.
