This is where I think sometimes the mind makes assumptions based on a perception of the type of player. The truth is, he doesn't do much penalty killing. The icing thing is interesting, but does it happen enough to make any appreciable difference, especially considering the player's shortcomings? He does throw hits, though. So, there's that.
Still. 2 goals and he's getting caved in by the opposition whenever he's on the ice. Unlike last year, where you could rationalize away his deficiencies because he scored 20 goals, he's just not productive enough anymore. It's hard to justify his presence on the team at this point other than as a veteran/leader type thing, and even then it's like damn, girl.
I think that is why the OP and me gave him D's... it isn't a total F player... because of the hits and his frequency on the PK as well as vet leadership
