I'm still not buying the advanced stats proving Risto to be overrated. From what I've seen, the advanced stats also show Gorges and Kulikov to be our best ES defensemen. So something's gotta be distorting them.
I watched Risto play and dominate defensively. He singlehandedly shut down Ovie (and other top players). He's on the ice more than anyone - so surely there are others out there that knock down his stats. I mean, I've seen him make his share of mistakes but I see other top defenders also making big mistakes regularly.
Also, seems pretty clear that most who reference the stats never watch him. Not trying to discredit the critics, but it does seem like most who watch him see a more dominant player.
