It would be "easy" to do the same for guys like Schultz 2017, Letang 2016, Daley 2016, Cole 2017, Orpik 2018, Kempny 2018, Niskanen 2018, Bouwmeester 2019, Keith 2015, Seabrook 2015, Oduya 2015, Muzzin 2014, Doughty 2014, Voynov 2014.

Just a who's who of players who no doubt threw some ugly pizzas over a long season and yet won the Stanley Cup.

It's called cherrypicking negative emotional events. Skilled puck movers - guys like Brodie, Karlsson, Montour, Gardiner, are always trying to make something happen amd tend to be a lightning rod for criticism because of a bias towards "simple" plays. But time and time again over the grand scheme of things it's players like this that contribute to effective transitional hockey.
