I missed the first two periods (and subsequently all Wild PPs), so I must have missed his first hard shot all season.
Watch him in the defensive zone. Same guy as most Wild defensemen. Have the puck and are under pressure? Throw it off the boards and out of the zone, even if it means a loss of possession. Not a puck mover at all.

Something isn't right here. I think you're confusing my first post about defensive numbers with my second about offensive numbers.

Not want to respond directly or something? Talk to me, not the crowd.
There was no inaccuracies with the numbers, only your misunderstanding.
The 52 minutes and the power play time shows how practically even Zanon and Prosser's raw offensive numbers are. You can take it farther (which I didn't look into - NOT the same as intentionally ignoring), but I have to remind you that the Wild is defying the advanced numbers this season.
