Vehemently disagree on Bozak.

He's 5th among Blues forwards in goals, 7th in points, is the 2nd best faceoff man on the roster, is posting good possession numbers and carries an excellent expected +/- of 5.2 on the season. Unless we are just saying all non-top-6 forwards are "meh" then Bozak doesn't fit in this category. His contribution is exactly what a Cup contender needs in the middle 6. The AAV is high for his role, but that was the cost of getting him to sign a 3 year deal instead of a 4-5 year deal in UFA.

I wouldn't call Bozak "meh", but I went to the game on Saturday and I'm pretty sure he played, but I don't know for sure... He's a good player and I like having him on the team, but he's almost like a Gunnarson for me where he does his job but he just blends in or something.

That's kind of a weird flex to put on someone who literally scored the go-ahead goal in that game.

Okay, so it's probably just a me problem, because I can't seem to be remembering anything other than the ROR to Schenn goal right now and the Parayko wrap around attempt.

Bozak is rarely flashy, but he does a lot of the 'little' things that give you a better chance to win. One being good on the dot.

From Dallas game:

Where did those stats and/or that nicely formatted table come from? I can never find detailed faceoff stats that are organized this well.

NHL website, Gamecenter, very bottom right of the page it shows links for "official game reports".

below is the direct link for the "Face-off Summary" stats for the Blues vs Dallas game. Formatted in tables by player.

Faceoff Summary

I copied the table I wanted, and using the "insert table formatting utility", inserted a table in my reply; then pasted the table/data from the NHL website into the table in my reply.
