Quoting: Byrr
I'm wondering who you think the '3 bad defensemen' are because I have a feeling you are talking about Holl out despite him being our best defensive dman tonight. Other than that our 3rd line held their own and outchanced the opposition. You were talking about bias earlier but the numbers are pretty clear on whos speaking from a biased perspective.
Look you got 3 decent guys in Rielly, Muzz and Brodie. After that it's down hill.
Holl is not that good. I know TOR fans like him, He's a 7th guy on a lot of teams 6th guy on others.
Point being, 3 defenseman does not make a team. Even when you have a solid top 4, the bottom 2 can sink you. They got to be at least competent. But when you got guys like Bogosian outplaying people for the 6th spot you are in trouble.
