It's good that we had this thread early so people can get it out of their system.
Haha, good one.

whatever happened to EK65 anyway? He was never known for his elite defensive game but he was great at moving the puck, in transition and used to put up plenty of points. He isn't scoring like he used to what happened?
My hockey pool is already suffering because of Malkin's injury now EK is also not scoring I had hoped EK would rebound but......
It's a shame what has happened to Karlsson's game
Someone said that he was gonna tear it up and a new thread was going to be posted and all... well...maybe should wait just a bit.
Another atrocious game defensively.
Still trying to give him the benefit of the doubt as it does not at all appear to be a physical issue, but a mental one. For those who have not been following it, he's had a bit of a tough time recently with his daughter being born prematurely and just coming home over the past few days.
I still feel like its just an awkward and forced fit with the Sharks tbh. Maybe they end up making it work at the end of the day, but I still cant help but wonder if both parties might regret it at some point over the life of the contract.

Anyone would look bad trying to defend with Dillon or Vlasic as their partner. Yikes.

LOL
Karlsson has never played D. When he is in the West, people start to realize it?
You have no clue what you are talking about.
In the past he was excellent defensively, while healthy.
Though, even back then, he went through streaks where he floated and simply didn't gave the impression that he actually cared (until playoffs).
Now, he's done though.

Most people knew this, but alot of the fans of whatever team he played for, just couldn't see, blinded by his offence. He can be the most productive offensive defenceman in the game, but his game on his side of centre some nights, has been just awful.I have been watching him for years. His defense has always been subpar, never even close to excellent defensively
Ive never seen a player continually showered with excuses for his play Its quite fascinatingMost people knew this, but alot of the fans of whatever team he played for, just couldn't see, blinded by his offence.

This contract he has signed, could very well be the worst in the league within 2-3 seasons, he looks so un-motivated. I don't buy the whole injury thing, because his good play seems conditional when he feels it. He can be amazing on offense, and people go wild with the credit, but next game they blame injuries for his terrible performance, and his -4
