Whose are ending up in the back of the net, again?
Yes, Brodie has gotten scored on by guys like Ryan Johansen and Nathan MacKinnon. Guess what, those are really good hockey players and equivalent to their teams' versions of Monahan, and in MacKinnon's case he's basically Gaudreau + Monahan combined. They're expected to score when they get chances. Stone has the fortune of playing against other teams' Stajans and Hathaways who are expected to shank chances and shoot right into the goalie's crest.

Yeah but that comparison is useless as you can argue Stone should be the 7th defenseman once Hamonic comes back. Brodie should be held to a higher standard as he's being paired on the first pairing with the team's best defender. If Hamilton was making the blunders Brodie has made this season fans would be all over him.
