I write game stories, clearly I watch the games.
But when I see the stats it makes me wonder, and watch differently and then I see things.
And I'm sorry man ... if you think Backlund is a fourth line player I'm not sure you should call your eye test a hill to die on.

I didn't call Backlund a 4th line player, I said he took a step back defensively. What am I watching this summer, replays of a different Flames team than you? The discussion was on Bean and you tried to use statistics to say he is good in his own zone. So if statistics don't lie would you argue Evan Bouchard is perhaps the best two way defenseman in the league and rock solid in his own zone? Also because stats are the be all and end all according to you then you must argue Darnell Nurse is also above average in his own zone. I mean the stats don't lie. Hell, from our own team you should be arguing that Jake Bean is a much more competent defenseman than Rasmus Andersson is. That's what the stats say, right?
