The Schlemko sample size is too small to make much note of, but given the amount of time Engelland and Brodie played together, that 36.4% number is absolutely horrendous.

I'm far from being an "advanced stats guy" but I find a lot of value in Corsi for defensive pairings. Individual Corsi and team Corsi have more independant variables, but a defensive pairing (with sample size) can be more descriptive IMO.
Having said that, it was plain as day to see. Brodie had to worry more about both ends of the ice more
