also it doesnt show on the scoresheet but having a guy like Simmonds in front of the goalie can help tremendously

He scores a lot of his goals that way, so technically it does wind up on the scoresheet in a roundabout way.

Yeah, for 6-7 years now, we've had to watch in horror anytime Flyers (or Preds last season) came to The Rock, because Simmonds would cause absolute mayhem in the crease every PP. Year after year, setting up in front of our goalies, and no matter how strong our PK numbers were leaguewide, it never seemed like we had an answer for Simmonds and the Flyers. I don't know the numbers throughout that time, but it seemed like he or his PP units would always score on us. Glad that's other teams' problem now! I'm all for limiting his minutes at 5v5 and giving him PP specialist duties.

Hynes is starting to take after Shero: using a lot of words to say very little. You mean to tell me that Simmonds will be playing with one of our centers AND he'll get more ice time if he plays well?
