But my point was not too suggest that Ryan has been a good fit on the powerplay. It was rather an attempt to balance some of the exaggerated opinions of some of the Flames players. Jankowski is not really a better option to play ahead of Ryan, and yet discussions tend to focus on Ryan's second-line promotion as some outrageous and obvious injustice. It's not.
Maybe? The powerplay is firing at almost a relative 50% increase to where it was at the end of last year.

Regardless, your stats show that there's as much support for Ryan being on there as there is for Jankowski. In other words, no support for declaratives either way. Your comment about things being misconstrued or badly exaggerated is... a bit exaggerated.
