If McDonagh did that play He’d get crucified

 

[Tob]

The concept of Shattenkirk the PP specialist and offensive spark on defense is nice. It would be nice if our top pairing was saddled with Nick Holden. Our bottom pairing weighted down with Staal.

Gorton needs to do his homework and figure out what a good defenseman really is. Staal, Kampfer, and Holden are not it.

 

[trilobyte]

It's not too hard to see what would make Henrik pissed off there. No need to blame him for having emotion for the right reason.

 

[Fataldogg]

Careful....the possession driver patrol will get ya

And it's non sense. Analytics don't tell everything. Every game there is a page dedicated to a huge defensive error Shattenkirk makes. He doesn't pass the eye test on a routine basis. But let's pat him on the back for secondary PP assists.

 

[Drew4u]

Shattenkirk doesnt even provide any offence even-strength. Totally not worth 6.8. Would rather pay Stepan 6.5.

 

[member 116805]

Legit question, how was that Hanks fault?

I didn't say that was Henriks fault. Id be a little careful yelling at people for making mistakes if i was letting in a softie every game though.

Buch strong like bull

 

[Placid]

Almost Buch.. that would have been highlight reel worthy...

 

[DanielBrassard]

What a move

 

[Killem Dafoe]

If Buch would have scored there I would have fell out of my chair.

 

[Fataldogg]

Buchenvic has talent. Kid could be a franchise piece in a couple of years for us.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

You guys are aware buch is on the same scoring pace as tarasenko at the same age?

Even similar ice time.

 

[Ori]

A great move by Buch - a good chance.

 

[Synergy27]

What? So it's now wrong to say that Shattenkirk's offensive ability outweighs his defensive liability?

Because that's the truth.

That's an entirely different argument than "Shattenkirk is really good at offense, therefore he's good at defense". That play was a perfect example of how and why "defensive defenseman" still have a role in hockey.

I get on Shattenkirk for not making "hard" defensive plays. That's a perfect example there. Two weak defensive efforts on the same play.

 

[DanielBrassard]

OK guys, that was a really bad defensive play, and Shattenkirk has not been good enough this season, but lets hold off on the PP specialist shit.

Shattenkirk is on for another goal against and it's all Staal, Kampfer and Holden's fault

Got it.

 

[Siddi]

ok, if you say so.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Zucc with the beaver brad special

 

[Nickmo82]

What a risky play by Zucc.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

If Buch would have scored there I would have fell out of my chair.

 

[Fataldogg]

..... AND you can count on Shattenkirk to make 1-2 bone headed defensive plays per game. I guess it evens out.

Hahaha yep, classic no look giveaway. Thankfully he was working back home and nothing happend

Yeah. He would need 100% possession in order to not get bullied by Mr. Glass.

Point is I don't see him telling at his team mates when they f*** up.
