Sure, but thats just fans. If the team didnt want it theyd have shut it down long ago. But every time we hear any NHL coach/GM turned media say how much he saves wear and tear on D men, its true. Its not often you see our D men get pasted on the back boards fighting puck battles.
Could Smith pick and choose his times to come out and play the puck better? Well yes of course, but 80% of the time hes bang on. Probably more like 90%, but Im down playing a bit.
