Last night he was an absolute horse on the P.K and was always steady with the puck. He had his usual front of net battles, and he wisely handles the challenge without stick work or stupid play. That is wily, veteran, A-B-C defense leadership you can't underestimate.
I've been an ardent defender of him from day one, never waivered. Guys like him and Simmonds were built for the playoffs. Both playing physical but smart hockey.
It was possibly the most impressive signing by Dubas thus far in my eyes, simply for the reason that it caught me and probably many others offguard. As soon as he signed him I thought "just perfect for this defenses needs" and he hadn't crossed my mind at all so it was a pleasant surprise.
A prudent signing by Dubas. Maybe both parties will find a home for each other. As soon as he added Brodie and Bogosian I saw the makings of the best defense this team had for 20+ years. They haven't disappointed. All of them are sacrificing for each other and Campbell loves it.
