On a team with some of the worst defensemen in the league, Shattenkirk somehow manages to stand out as one of the worst. If he played like this last year for Washington, he could of honestly cost them a legitimate playoff run. He is that bad.
That hits a little close to home, man...
Uh...he kind of did? You did watch the playoffs right? Like I know he put up some points, real tough when you get to feed Ovechkin for one timers or out there with Backstrom/Oshie...but defensively, he was a bit of a train wreck.
Wasn't exactly analyzing any single player in a series I wasn't personally invested in. Was in full denial mode as far as Shatt is concerned last year anyway, in hopes of a blue line upgrade. How naive I was.
This thread is dead quiet. Naturally that calls for what every hockey fan wants ... more Leafs content.
On that note, second half of back to back days for the Leafs vs Washington among all the other teams tonight. Going to be some ugly games.
Rangers win 10 out of last twelve and still outside playoff bubble. Calm the fuck down Metro division, sheesh...
