That's a plus in my book

Not after the whistle

He went out of his way to hit Malkin that's a penalty in my book
- GERBE!!!75PTS

The puck was in Malkin's feet...there is literally no way he could have stopped his hit between the time the whistle went and the time he hit him....he also was gliding into Malkin when he hit him....didn't really look like he built up speed.


But its the Pens....so it was a penalty.

Mood: just dropped the whole roll of toilet paper into the toilet

Seriously?
This happens to Shattenkirk just about every playoffs

I get that u favor guys who can move the puck outta the zone...
But he just is way too average (that might be too nice) in his own end

Plus... he's a RH shot
Are we really gonna pay him 7mil to be on the 2nd pair?
That just doesn't seem like a good idea to me
- jdfitz77

Not for 7 mil maybe

But it's much more likely that his 490 career games are a way better gauge of who he really is than this sample as a Cap.

So we're just not gonna call the blatant interference by Malkin...

Looks like we have a series and they won't be swept
- GERBE!!!75PTS

You really have to stop that poop. Look what you did!!

The capitals deserve to get swept now

How do you manage to do that?

Hey if you can get him for 6 million or less here I'm all for it

Maybe he just doesn't fit the chemistry of the Washington Capitals

Yeah . his hand

I learned that you have to put it in the holder when you're in a relationship
Or they just female dog at you constantly

The have a list of rules on a Scott 1000 sheet single ply roll. Heard they are working on a 2000 sheet roll.

Capitals are going to score on this power play

Same thing happened with StL
Why do u think they were willing to move on & not pay him?

He's not good in his own end
Average, at best
Especially in the playoffs

Three years in a row people said MAF was a playoff disaster. Now he's spectacular.

Sometimes it's just luck or a bad fit.

Shattenkirk is an awesome player having a bad series

How do you manage to do that?

It was on the counter and I bumped it right into the toilet

It still amazes me that there is a team with players as good as Crosby and Malkin.

It also amazes me that Edmonton now has a similar combo

Along with good scouting, it sure helps to have the lottery turn out in your favor.

The lack of luck between Bills/Sabres is legendary.

Bad decisions aside, we just flat out are unlucky

"Unlucky" might be the difference between "good" and "great". It's not the difference between "good" and "whatever this team is right now".

Oh trust me, I agree. But you have to admit we are an unlucky city

I don't buy into the Luck thing....

More importantly, it saddens me to admit, I believe I just watched Sidney Crosby's last game.

I hope I'm wrong.

Shattenkirk is an awesome player having a bad series
- sbroads24

No, he's FAR from an "awesome player"
This isn't ONE bad series
He gets exposed consistently in the playoffs...
not just this year
If he was "awesome" StL would've wanted to sign him

15-16, he's a -14 for the Blues
*Pietrangelo +10, Bouwmeester -4, Parayko +28, Gunnarson +7, Edmunson 0, Bortuzzo +2
*in the playoffs, -8 with the next closest Edmundson at -4

16-17, he's a -11 for StL
*Pietrangelo +3, Bouwmeester +6, Parayko +7, Gunnarson -5, Edmunson +11, Bortuzzo +11
*Having a pretty bad playoffs again

For his career...
-18 in the playoffs, only 1 season where he was a +


Now I know +/- isn't a great stat, but when you're consistently the worst on your team...
that's not just bad luck

If u think Shattenkirk is good defensively,
Then you're nuts sir

And I don't mean he's not good at getting the puck outta the zone...
maybe he is, idk

What I mean is that when u actually WATCH the games,
He makes mistakes in his own end
More than the other guys on his team

He's good offensively, particularly the PP
But we already have the #1 PP

no reason to sign him to the huge deal he'll command
Would be a brutal mistake for us
