Lmao. Shattenkirk needs to play better 5v5 before playing big minutes on the power play, although to be fair, he has recently been playing a little better.Shattenkirk is the deserving player, the pp has been much better with him on it. And he’s looked good for a while now. He deserves to be and should be on PP1.
What is Quinn supposed to not give him time he deserves just bc of him being 30?
And in what way is it better? Seriously? PP1 is good because of Kreider and Zibanejad. It always was, no matter which d-man was on it. Even Pionk was more effective than Shattenkirk, the supposed “elite PP specialist.” Shattenkirk only has 4 PP points while getting lots of power play time, while Pionk has 12 PP points. Also, ADA leads the NHL in HDCF% on the power play. I mean, Shattenkirk would be my 3rd option, but even if he was my 1st option, he shouldn’t be getting the full 2 minutes or nearly the full 2 minutes. We have young players that we need to develop. And even though he has been playing a little better, he’s still an overpaid bum. The only argument Shattenkirk fans have is the pedigree argument, that he used to be an elite power play quarterback, so he must still be good.
