Face off is highly important. The person trying to minimize that fact is missing the point. The more possessions your team has the more chances they are going to have to score. There is no debate. Are there statistical outliers where teams have won and not had a dominant face off guy, sure...but fact remains the same.

And for the jerk who made all the assumptions about some guys son, grow up. You are way off topic and there really is no logical connections for you to make those assumptions to begin with. Stick with your strong F/O argument.
