Trouba is absolutely not a shutdown D

With a competent partner and fwds that back check in an actual system?
He most certainly is a shutdown dman..

 

[DanielBrassard]

Trouba hasn't been a shutdown D. Actually he's been slightly below average defensively the past couple seasons and this season has been bad.

Says the guy who said we played a good game. Giving up two PP goals and looking like trash

 

[EdJovanovski]

No. No they are not easier to replace. Trouba plays a physical game. He's not going anywhere. Just accept it.

DeAngelo is grittier than Trouba.

 

[NYR]

Put Trouba on a contender and he's lights out.
I have no doubt..

 

[NYR]

DeAngelo is grittier than Trouba.

No lol
Google "Trouba hits"

 

[Richard Banger]

DeAngelo is grittier than Trouba.

Who the hell cares about grit? I just want a player that separates the puck from a player with his body and clear the grease. Not being afraid to get into the dirty areas and take a beating. That's what Trouba does. He's the Dman you want to take a beating. Not ADA or fox. Those are our offensive players.

You mean a defensemen?

 

[EdJovanovski]

I just don’t know what game you’re watching if you think Trouba is better than DeAngelo. Shutdown defensive dmen are a dime a dozen, DeAngelos blend of skating, shiftiness, playmaking ability, and the edge he plays with is such a unique package.

 

[NYRFAN218]

Watching Panarin play is unreal. Every time he's on the ice and touches the puck, magic happens. Probably the best forward this team's had since Jagr and that's factoring in the Nash's and Gaborik's of the world.

Tony and Strome both had excellent games as well and I thought Fast was a nice compliment on the top line.

Henrik didn't have a good night and Bob really turned it on in the 2nd half of the game. Overall, I thought they played well enough to win but a not so good night from Henrik and the PK still being an atrocity will usually do you in.

Are you just trying to troll? Did you just have you first beer? Are you smoking the ganja? Because there is no logical reason for this type of thinking.

Maybe it doesn't look like it under the circumstances but Trouba is on a whole different level..

 

[Kovalev27]

Bad early penalties and Hank tonight were the reasons we lost this game. 4 goals on the road 3 from the walls.

we played one of our better games for sure.

Well statistically and by any objective measure I am correct

 

[Richard Banger]

Lol statistically? You mean his goals scored? Yeah sure he's a offense Dman. But he does not defend well. You will never be the best Dman on the team if you can do the most important thing at your position... Play d. Plain and simple.

Shutdown defensive dmen are a dime a dozen,

I find this statement puzzling since we have been looking for just ONE over the past few decades.

"Smoking the ganja."

What are you, a fuc*in' cop?

Eyes brotha. Use 'em.

Huh?! Their names were Dan Girardi and Marc Staal and they took us SO far, lemme tell ya..

 

[Uncle Sid]

It’s just so frustrating to see Haley out there game after game. Obviously Lias has a long way to go, but how can he succeed next to Haley. I know it’s been beaten to death around here, but come on already.

 

[Leetch3]

I can’t believe this is what the topic of choice is right now. Trading one of our righty D. Really amazing.

there is no point in having that convo until Nils Lundkvist shows up AND he shows that he is as good or better than 1 or more of the 3. until that day I don't know why we'd even be thinking about it

Who's a good example of a shutdown defenseman? Chara? Pietrangelo?

Best D we've had in recent years are McDonagh & Stralman. Not sure that either counts as "shutdown" though.

Be interesting to see what the Rangers do about ADA. He is fun when he's on.

Of course there’s no point I’m amazed at what I’m reading. 20 plus friggen years its like Zubov all over again. Ridiculous comments.

 

[Kovalev27]

And Lias? Honestly deserved less time than he even got. Baby shit soft going into any battle for a puck. Embarrassing really. He cannot spend another minute here.

"When he's on." This is fair and tempered.

We've come a long way from the days of Lisin, ODC.

They were excellent defensive d-men in their time...but I wouldn't go as far as to say they were "shut down". Even in their prime, opposing players had way too much freedom in our defensive end.
