You missed one. Being on the ice for every goal that's scored means your great at offense.
Offense is played in a vacuum but defense is a team.
 
It's easy to continue to participate when only a couple of people are properly equipped to have a proper debate. I do have a healthy respect for a few of those posters who have pulled me into new ways of looking at things, but the continual LMFAOOOOOOOs in response to legit points are just people dunce-capping themselves so it's all gravy for me.

From the Sedins and Karlsson himself:

""When we play them I watch him, and when we don’t play them I still watch him,” said Karlsson.

Karlsson believes Doughty could produce like him if he wanted. Doughty has 33 points in 51 games this season, though his production at five-on-five is 70th among defensemen with at least 750 minutes. Offense has never been his focus.

"Obviously I want to jump into the rush and play offense as much as I can too, but the No. 1 priority is shutting down the other team’s best players, and I take a lot of pride doing that,” Doughty said."

you can tell too, Doughty loves drawing hard matchups and stopping the top guys on the other team - maybe even more than scoring. It's rarer to find in the NHL I think because of the nature of the game, but it reminds me a LOT of premier defenders/defenses in the NFL who just relish the opportunity to shutdown the best of the best - and will let you know it too (we all know DD loves to talk ****). It's just a different mentality, really cool to see that in him tbh.
 
These guys keep giving me different bullets to shoot them with.

I'm out for dinner and drinks and a Ducks/Rangers game, see you guys tonight!

Oh for sure, that's a GREAT comparison. Doughty is Josh Norman confirmed ;)

I noticed that the other night, he was finding ways to close on Panarin over and over and over and you saw when he went for hte Kill on Kane :laugh:

I love it. And I'm a defenseman so I love it extra much.

LOL I just read that last post by you. Talk about ownage. Wow. And again, if they have a problem with the numbers, watch him without the puck and then refute why the team is so bad defensively and discount it as "bad luck". For as many times as the XBOX controller unplugged meme gets used on Ovi, EK sure seems immune from being ridiculed the same way when he's been guilty of it even more.
 
Hawks lose 4 straight tonight after their loss to the Flyers. Nice tip by Ehrhoff on Gudas' shot for the go ahead goal and Neuvirth with some late clutch saves.
 
I didn't like the Scuderi trade, but he seems to be playing way more important minutes and doing OK with them, though a lot of credit has to go to Doughty. Ehrhoff on the other hand is on the bottom pairing and will probably be a healthy scratch after today.

I wonder if Dean would've traded for him if it weren't for Scuds' history here.

Doughty went up against the 4 best players in the league on back to back nights, shut them down and had Panarin and Benn completely frustrated all night. It was so great to watch.

At the ABSOLUTE minimum, Scuderi is an upgrade over Ehrhoff. He's been much more than that though.

Not going to happen, but could you imagine the hawks slipping down to a wild card spot and ending up playing us in the first round?
 
My god, the NHL Network is making the pass from Giroux to Schenn as the greatest thing ever seen. Pump the breaks guys, it was a really good pass that lead to a goal, but not enough to spend 5 min talking about it.
 
Gibson looks like he's still gotta work on the mental side a bit

Iron mind before he gets scored on, scrambly after

Edit: speaking of mental side, you could see the exact moment Getzlaf was going to blow a gasket after boyle hugged him way up here

Ref: get outta here...
Getzlaf: "But he fouled me!"
Ref: "just go"
Getzlaf: "But he fouled me, don't you understand? ":cry:

Oilers 4-5 on the pp were up 5-2 at one point. Blues have comeback to make it 5-4.

:laugh: I was just going to post Oilers might beat the Blues, but didn't want to jinx it. Looks like that doesn't matter.

Philly in a playoff spot 1 game in hand on Detroit.

Don't want to start looking too far ahead, but the Kings might be able to catch Stars/Blues for the conference lead!!!!
 
Today I learned that Karlsson does not have any issues defensively, he just has had back luck with on ice save percentage for three years running.

So that's good news! Brown is still actually a 60 point player, it's just bad luck and will come around again soon!

Seriously it was a good play but c'mon it wasn't that great. It definitely wasn't Kopi's goal against the Stars that's for sure.

The Drew Doughty precedent from last year could help Erik Karlsson win the Norris Trophy this year. My TSN.ca blog.
