It is really unique how insistent you are with creating some narrative and then trumpeting to whoever will listen
Taking face offs against NHL centres, his last 3 seasons he was over 50 percent. Fact. Some guy makes a point that he won only 41 percent in the playoffs. Correct. The guy came to the conclusion that it was because he was not good at face offs. I note that he was playing with a torn tricep while losing the majority of the draws. Fact.
The idea is that you use your arms and strength in a faceoff. And if you have a torn muscle, hey, maybe that explains a reduced effectiveness.
That was it. Pretty simple
If that is really something you need to take exception to, it really says more about you than anything
It is beyond unique, I would even say bizarre, how obsessed you are with refuting this legend that you claim has been invented
Nobody thinks that.
(Also, even Sidney Crosby came in the league and put up a couple of seasons of sub 50 percent FO%, as he understood that it is a skill you have to work on to improve.)
Ok. Carry on
