Yeah, I mean it's a big ask because looking at all of the goals against on YouTube may not even show enough of the play in the first place, then looking through entire games would be very tedious.
Pretty simple answer for me Lou - 2019-2020 roster had Chara and Krug, both left in the offseason.
Point is if Gryz is truly a top pair like his analytics suggest why on earth would you dump all those assets on two more guys you would think will get more ice time when the games matter?
Well he is a perfect match for their all world 1D and plays with him. He’s an eraser 5v5 and would be PP2 for many teams in the NHL. His numbers are consistently elite year after year.
It’s the all in move. Has nothing to do with gryz. Big strong and deep. Just how I like my D. Gryz is our token small dude. I’m good with that. Anyone who has seen him skate backwards across the blue line while stick handling the puck knows what I’m talking about

He was outstanding in yesterday game. He left many a blues in the wind with his sharp cuts and turns very impressive and the space he created for himself by doing so was amazing.
Yeah, with Lindholm(and Forbort) on the team, he pretty much only plays even strength, which is 4th on the team close behind the big 3.
Sadly the book is out on Gryz so I would imagine it will hurt his value
The proof regarding Gryz was JM sitting him out. His stats should have mandated being dressed every game.
I still say they screwed that up and their infatuation with Forbort cost them that series.
I certainly agree with you but to me it means with #27 with a broken foot Forbort had to dress for PK duties as #48 isn't utilized there.
It goes back to the organizations obsession with size and size only. Forbort is big, but he's not tough and he's not good. How do you beat a ferocious forecheck? With fast defenders who make quick decisions to pass or skate it out...guys who can retrieve quickly. Gryz, in limted time games 3-4 Bruins outscore the Cats 10-4. He then seems to be the scapegoat for the game 5 turnover and is scratched game six. Now the Bruins won game 3 and 4 with Florida having last change, meaning they could put whomever they wanted out when gryz was on the ice, and it had no effect on him.
You won't get me to disagree but I am just thinking what their rationale must have been.
They didn’t lose the series because of Forbort.
Yeah, Cliffy was the most brutal d-man among several. Played a huge role in costing the Bs a game. Gryz should have been in and everyone but the coach could see that.
