Sure Orpik has elevated his game and mentor young players telling how lucky they are being in this position and and appreciate and contribute in the success. Once I've read that Kuzya and Bruce have very great relationships and calls him "batya". How Bruce taught him how to play tough against real D! Referring Orpik as "batya" means a lot, with a direct translation as "father", in the army it would be informal calling higher rank who really cares about solders who you can intrust your life. That means Kuzya treats him as an older friend with very high respect!

+/- for D can be a very deceiving parameter, because the best D goes against the best O. It is also depends if you play with great scorers.
BTW, anybody remember Schultz? He had a great +.

(Yeah, I read about the "batya" thing a while ago. Pretty cool.)
Alta and I have very fond memories of him! I don't know if you know the story, but after my first ever game there a couple of years ago, we were leaving the stadium and I tripped over a traffic cone and fell arse over tit, sprawling to the ground. I said to the many helping hands, "Who put Jeff Schultz there?" :wackysmile: [size=78%] [/size]

[/size][size=78%]I guess you had to be there, but it was pretty funny at the time and certainly broke the ice! [/size] :lol:
I don't usually put much stock in stats. They can be very subjective and easily manipulated.
You do know that Schultz has his name on the CUP already?

Sure, I do. He wasn't instrumental in any sense, he didn't play much, but enough to get his name there. I would happen with him or without.
