You said there’s more to a player and than scoring. You’re implying defense and my point is EP can play defense while scoring more— so how is NH better?
Once again I never said NH is better, not once [mod].
But since you want to know what Nico does that EP doesn’t, when Crosby, McDavid or any other top line player is in the ice so is Nico.
EP might put up similar defensive numbers but he does it against inferior players.
Because EP is the best offensive threat Vancouver has, he sees a lot of checking lines, so it’s not as hard to shut down Jordan Staal as it is Sidney Crosby.
Also him playing on a bad team benefits his offensive number as teams are likely to start a back up goalie against a bad team.
If this doesn’t make you understand that there is more to value than stats, I can’t help ya.
None of this matters even in the slightest though, because you’re now going to say something amazing like “tell me haven’t watched EP without telling me you haven’t watched EP” or something equally impressive. Then I’ll point out that I’m actually from Alberta and watch loads of Vancouver game and so on and so forth
