Actually, a Brodie that has confidence in his D partner (i.e. Wideman, or Giordano, or Russell, or Hamilton) never throws the puck blindly up the board hoping for a clear. And a D partner that has Brodie's back does something about that play, either tying up Panik's stick or letting Elliott make the save on Toews on the wraparound and clearing the rebound, instead of getting caught in no-man's land and taking himself out of the play.

but since you're such an advanced stats guy and have used it in several arguments why don't you post some advanced stats for Engelland.

I use information where it is relevant. Here, common ****ing sense is more relevant than advanced stats - Engelland is not a top 4D and having a +/- on the right side of 0 does not change that. But if you think the advanced stats say anything different from what I was saying, we have three seasons worth of data that we can look at:
Brodie-Engelland
439:28 TOI together (before last night)
38.5% Corsi For (for some comparision, the only NHL team since the stat's been recorded, to finish with corsi this bad were the 2015 Sabres, who were tanking for Connor McDavid)
44.4% Goals For (driven heavily by the best goaltending Hiller and Ramo ever gave us in Feb/March 2015)
This is a pairing that has no business being together. It is a pairing that makes me miss Kris Russell.
