Gotta tie up his stick.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Good thing he's the best at "transition"....I've heard that being good in your defensive zone doesn't matter anymore....thank goodness for that.

This would be a valid point if he were the only D on the team who makes this mistake.

He isn't.

That was a five man team effort at letting them score there. Super soft, defending like they were penalty killing.

 

[Mandar]

Theres the best defenseman in the NHL at moving the puck vertically while moving horizontally. However he ranks dead last at crease entry denials.

It's obvious that you don't understand that defensemen who play defense in their own zone is soooooooo 1980's. Doesn't matter how he plays in his own zone....he's got that zone entry thingy down pat.

 

[Lays]

What a play Hajek

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

That’s what it was thank you. He’s first in the league at transition passes but according to www.uselessstats.com DeAngelo ranks dead last at goalie crease denials.

Skjei is having a great game.

I was told Brendan Smith was ranked first at zone entries, or was it entrees? Maybe that’s why he gained 20 pounds

 

[mike14]

Ada weak like the Ukraine

gotcha….because he isn't the "only" one...its okay.

Perfect "whatabout" reasoning....

I stop for Bill Pidto MSG 150

On the street, not so much

 

[effen]

Smith almost ended Glendenings life there holy hell.

 

[Irishguy42]

Glad some people in here can tell the difference between single game sample sizes and career long sample sizes...

 

[Gresch04]

A chastity belt is most effective at crease denials.

 

[Justin17]

Great pass from Howden

I don’t understand why you and some others continue to downplay one of our most promising young defensemen we’ve had in a long time. That wasn’t even a huge mistake. Relax. I hate repeating this, but he’s still better defensively than every other d-man on this team. While creating the most offense. But apparently, that’s still not good enough for some Rangers fans. I understand if you think he’s overhyped, but saying he sucks at defense after that one play pisses me off. It’s horseshit.

 

[Kovalev27]

Can we just call him Lib? Libor is a horrific name

 

[effen]

We have enough of a sample size now where I can say ADA isnt very good at using his skating to make shooting lanes appear. He just gets swallowed up and angled way too often.

Hes friends with the mouth.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Nice giveaway ADA

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Ranger puck luck on full display in this one

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

That’s a bullshit call.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

red wings power play entry looking uber sad

 

[Mandar]

Yep....but God help poor Pionk if it was his man in front....there would be 2 pages about how it was all his fault. Good thing that standard doesn't apply to the God of Zone Entries (GOZE...a great nickname for him).

 

[Gresch04]

Trailing 2-1 here we come.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

That's a penalty in any league
