He looks considerably better with a healthy Zub next to him. Just because he isn't showing up on the scoresheet doesn't mean he isn't tilting the ice. The amount of plays he breaks up and rushes created the other way is nuts.
True ... that D part of his game has to be solid. If he is on top of his game it is exceptional. He was making plays at the O blue line last night. If he wants top D recognition league wide, in the media (Norris) , and among many fans he needs to be putting up points consistently on the PP and at even.
We know how good he is.

Just Win Baby.

I love all the little shimmies he does to get a lane to the net. Most guys just fire it into the shins or dump it off, but he has that knack to find the lane. Not sure it's as wise as much as he does it, but getting the puck on net is often the best play.

Jake the Snake is our best D. Even Lidstrom would have had shitty moments with Hamonic who has broken down from years of hard hockey sacrificing his health.

He is a defence first guy, but with Zub as a reliable partner Sanderson can take more offensive chances. Still a pup.

Doesn't have to play with an anchor and he goes flying back to his usual self.

I don't expect Norris calibre play, but no more brain farts and hesitation from having to play catch up.
