On Tanner Glass And “Haters”
Brad Penner-USA TODAY SportsTanner Glass was, deservedly, the man of the hour last night.
He had a great game. Glass had two assists, a fight, and seven hits. He made his mark both on the scoreboard and in the “intangible” aspects of the game.
Of course, he was talked about after the game by everyone — beat reporters in New York continue to use him as their shining champion for why advanced statistics have no place in discussing and analyzing the game. The national media even jumped on the band wagon. Puck Daddy offered a column on Glass and his “haters.”
At first I wasn’t going to comment on the matter, but I feel like I have to.
