this is terrible radio. It is not a debate, it turned into a frigin pissing contest. I actually felt loubardias wasn't rationalizing anything with logic.
i'd consider myself on the opposing side of analytics/advanced stats, yet his staunch reaction in the discussion was ridiculous.
He took issue when steinberg states russel is over his head being slot in as a 2nd pair dman, saying he's a really good 2nd pair dman, and that there is no better option today for the flames. Yet, steinberg later goes back to the question and asks well would russel be a 2nd pair dman on a playoff/stanley cup team, to which loubardias says no. the 'debate' basically fell apart completely for me there, as it sort of proved whatever the hell stance steinberg was pushing.
