yes I have to agree that was junk. now Stajan just may as well slap down that "I played in the NHL" card every single time they don't exactly agree on an analysis, like it's the unbeatable royal flush.
I also didn't find the rest of his argument compelling. "Gio won the Norris last year and scored over 70 points". indeed he did, but that's not what's happening this year. "Everybody gets their shots blocked, it's not like Gio's losing the puck when it happens". Nault wasn't arguing that only Gio's shots are blocked, he was saying that it happens more often to him and does end up in lost possession, and they're not adjusting strategy enough.
the only part of Stajan's commentary that maybe makes sense is that Gio needs productive PP time to feel good during 5v5. ok, if that's how it works based on his NHL experience, then maybe there's something to that.
