Is Mark Stuart the worst regular PK D in the entire NHL?

[surixon]

Very good article Garrett. While I think the more pressing issue for this team is not taking penalties with the frequency that they do, Maurice and the coaching staff need to make better decisions with on ice PK personal. I get Stuart is liked by the org, but we need to greatly limit his minutes both at es and on the PK.

I always thought he had good underlying stats. This is shocking stuff. Another classic chevy move.

I SPIT HOT FIRE:

I do not know why this organizations has such a strong like for Stu. As others have stated, I also cringe anytime he is on the ice. Nice to know the eye test matches the stats. This organization is going nowhere with him playing 19 minutes a night. It must be getting to Trouba to have to play with that anchor game in and game out.

Again many posters on here recognized this in year#1. Stu is a good depth 6-8 d man who is best suited to see action due to injury and preferably on a short term. Good to see that Chevy addressed the lack of depth on LHD in the last 5 seasons.

He is good at one thing. Blocking shots. If only he could retrieve the puck after he blocks it.

He is good at one thing. Blocking shots. If only he could retrieve the puck after he blocks it.

Alternatively, he blocks so many shots because he can't get the puck out of the zone; thereby giving up opposition shots.

 

[Blue Shakehead]

He is good at one thing. Blocking shots. If only he could retrieve the puck after he blocks it.

Even then, is it just me or is he not even trying to block shots anymore? He seems to be waiving his stick around like a white cane on the PK. When he does block a shot it doesn't seem at all intentional. Maybe I'm biased.

 

[Mud Turtle]

Fire so hot my monitor melted when I opened the article. Too much truth to handle over here.

Well at least now we know why Maurice always refers to him as a "leader".

 

[Ducky10]

I still was surprised he was THE worst.

I wasn't

That makes him good at two things, his main specialty is screening his own goalie.

 

[Ducky10]

So what do those last few posts tell us:

Jets aren't special in using bad/not optimal PKers
Stu's bad results are unlikely due to fatigue from high PK mins
Stu is the worst of the bad

What do I win?

 

[Ducky10]

Eyetest says he's pretty bad too.

I'm shocked anything else was really required...

 

[Jeti]

Perhaps an important part of the PK is winning races to loose pucks.

I'd argue the biggest part of a good penalty kill is just preventing the PP from setting up to begin with. Stuart is horrible at preventing clean zone entries. I'd guess the numbers are largely reflecting that.

I am in a state absolute shock and awe at these findings.

Stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

My second favourite, right after the "Pavy, Pavy" chants......

 

[JetsFan815]

Wait what? There is gambling going on in Vegas?

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I still was surprised he was THE worst.

I wasn't

Someone has to be 'the worst'.

That wasn't multiple choice. I was saying evidence suggests all 3 are true.

 

[Scheifele55]

I don't understand this CORSI thing and haven't really taken the time to attempt to fully understand it. I am curious garret9, is there options in your opinion on the Moose of defensemen who based on analytics would make a great PK defenseman?

I read the article and re-examined this corsi and gather that Byfuglien creates more shots on net than he does shots against? Is that correct?

I'm pretty sure that's correct.

And I'm sure if you wanted to learn how to understand it, Garret would be more then happy to explain it to you. I find him to be rather open minded when it comes to stats because he as well as anyone knows they aren't the be all end all.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

So how does our Stu stack up 5v5?

 

[Ducky10]

I know......

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Wether we like it or not he'll be with the Jets for a long time. If not, probably the Moose will be the next stop.

After that he will be with TNSE.
