I don't know, I guess if the cold, calculated side of hockey "watching" says the opposite I'll defer to that, but geez it's hard to see it that way simply from physically watching the games.

Agreed.
I am also not a huge advanced stats guy, but i would be interested to see how Brodie did with Stone compared to anyone else... i sure felt like Brodie got his groove back once he was paired with Stone...
While i don't think there's a "Stone Bump" like a Backlund Bump, Stone definitely wasn't a drag on Brodie as TJ wasn't having a very good year from what I can recall until we got Stone...
Maybe advanced stats tell a different story?...
