I look at the results of the stats, and there is little correlation between who the stat says are the best defensive players and who actually are. So forgive me if I don't simply accept them as proof of anything.

What part of my summary of the stat do you have a problem with?
I've already said Backlund should be on the fourth line when he no longer deserves to be the shut down center.
I happen to think that's not now, and a pretty basic counting stat backs that up.
Not sure what the issue is to be honest.
And yeah I love having a stat that backs up what I'm seeing. I went 20 years in illogical BS arguments with Lanny on this site with nothing to look to prove an obvious take wrong.
