I mean...

This says he faces the better competition the most, actually.

EDIT: I see it now. He faces good D, but lower-end forwards. That's odd. Still, his TOI is closer to first pair than third pair.
 
The last few years before he became a Ranger he was treated like this.

He was sheltered and played on the PP. He does the same now.

From 2012-2017 he played the third most minutes on the Blues, with over 2,300 more minutes than the guy in fourth place.

He's literally never been a third-pairing defenseman. It's made up.
 
You and all the fans in Europe are hardcore. It’s not that I wouldn’t watch the games at midnight or 1am. I *can’t* physically do it. It’s really hard. Particlarly with work the next day.
It's a bit easier since I'm on vacation. Or as the Europeans call it, on holiday.

Haven’t seen the Stars at all this year? Anyone have one or two sentence scouting report?
 
Shattenkirk leads the Rangers in shot differential, is second behind ADA in even strength +/-, and leads the Rangers in expected +/-.

Sure we would all like more points but he's not getting 1PP time, so :dunno:

For some ridiculous reason you have one of the best pp qbs in the world on your team and don’t play him first team mins. Just as ridiculous as putting Zibanejad on the wrong side of the ice for the same pp.

I like DeAngelo getting defensive usage. Quinn is a thinker.

Granted, I've been critical of Shattenkirk not being used on PP1 but Pionk has been hot and I get why he's doing it.

The more important point is, if Shattenkirk isn't getting those minutes, then let's not crucify him. He's been as advertised at even strength. No, he's not going to take the hardest minutes nor am I asking the Rangers to give him those minutes, but he's good at what he does, and he's closer to being a f***ing linebacker than he is a third-pairing defenseman.
