Pressure suits him, and that surprised me. Good stuff.

Stone is #8 on the depth chart. And he showed again last night that you can put him in there and get solid minutes. No, he isn't a top pairing guy, but he is an NHL defenseman, and provides good depth for the Flames' D.
I am not going to claim that he is the best #8 out there, but if you try and formulate a list from around the league of teams' #8 Dmen that are better than Stone, I am going to guess that list is pretty fricking short.
