Good grief...

Awesome>great>good>average>mediocre>poor

Hopefully we can just agree on that

Now you're saying Shattenkirk is an "awesome player"

I'd like to know how u get there,
When (in your words) he's "great" offensively

If you think he's better than "average" defensively,
then u need to ACTUALLY WATCH the games...
instead of just looking at the numbers


But even if u could convince anyone that he's "good" defensively
Along with "great" offensively (which is also a reach)

In no way does that equal "awesome"


You're advanced stats aren't garbage, but again...
they don't tell the whole story

So it's great that he gets the puck outta the zone,
but it's also clear that too many goals are going in the net

And u can't just pass it off as "bad luck" when it happens consistently that he's got the worst +/- among his fellow defensemen
This has happened 2 playoffs in a row
And 2 regular seasons in a row
Not just this series like u claim

You gotta watch the games man

- jdfitz77

I love how I have to watch the games and stop looking at stats, but your whole premise was based on his plus/minus

More of his stats lead to him being a very good player, rather than a bad one

According to Garth they are still in the process of interviewing everyone, including the pan handlers on Elmwood Ave.

Kim Pegula would never like you if you are merely proletariat and not one of the economic elites because she has no skills or judgment other than the ability to spot wealthy slobs and get her hands into their front pockets.

Instigators about to give Marty Biron a seven minute interview for Sabres GM. "Have your system ready, your buyouts ready, and your offseason acquisition plans ready." after the commerical. Should be good.

I think he may have had a concussion once...I'd be careful if I was Peters or Rivet.

Dont mock me just because my opinion is utterly ridiculous. It will give me the opportunity to suggest you are mocking me simply because I disagree with you.

And if Crosby got another concussion last night, he can kiss a front office job goodbye. Who would ever hire someone who may or may not have CTE?

F@ck Crosby

I think the hit was unintentional but

punk deserves it for the way he plays and the countless cheap shots he has done over the years

It looked like he was busy trying to "sell" the stick to the back of the head and that's why he was on his way down...

I don't think the hit was intentional but the penalty was called correctly. He shouldn't get suspended but he might because you know it's Crosby.
