You think Crosby gets skipped over for important faceoffs because he's a lefty?
Sure it's nice if you have someone naturally capable and shoots right, but give me a break. You throw out your best or 2nd best faceoff guy regardless of shot for important draws.
Same goes for the ridiculous LH RH for d-pairings. Sometimes it's nice, but square peg man.

That was the game Backlund took a late penalty heading into OT so he wasn't an option. Stajan and Janko were both 1/3 against ROR.
However Monahan was 2/3 against O'Reilly during the game. Instead, playing Brouwer for almost 3 whole minutes while losing all 3 faceoffs... brilliant.
