Coco-puffs said:I think Mirtle might have missed something entirely in that side of the analysis though. WHO and WHERE are they drawing in? Is Polak getting more road games and against better teams? If the other d-pairs are struggling more when he's in the lineup, maybe its not Polak and maybe its because they aren't controlling the matchups (ie on the road) and/or are playing better teams?
Probably because the difference is pretty insignificant. The number of games Polak has played in at home and on the road is fairly even (28 at home, 24 on the road), and he's played enough games the quality of opponents would even out (though, interestingly, he's only played once against the Bruins).
