from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
Of all the statistics charted in a figures-obsessed era, time on ice may be the most illuminating, if underrated and largely ignored number. More than any other stat, ice time illustrates a player’s internal value and importance to a team.
“You can get a pretty good idea of what a coach thinks of his group – who he plays against the other team’s best players – and who he’s hiding – just by looking at their minutes played after the game,” Carolina Hurricanes head coach Paul Maurice said.
Maurice clearly thinks a lot of the Hurricanes’ own Joe Corvo, the former Ottawa Senators defenceman who never found a home in the nation’s capital but is currently second in the league in minutes played behind the 35-year-old Pronger, who is now with the Philadelphia Flyers.
