It's flat out poor coaching and there is no excuse. No need for stats, or consideration to the side of the ice and whether the center is on his backhand, or not.
Whatever.....
Most every team in the league does what Tocchet did (uses side of ice vs which hand the centerman uses) in selecting who goes in. I suppose they’re all bad coaches too.
Had Schmaltz won his draw nobody would be complaining. But he didn’t so every keyboard GM out there has to have some sort of excuse to lay blame somewhere.
