That was one of his best assets in mtl near the end

Yes overall he’s been good defensively but not great. I’m hoping that he’s still learning systems and come playoff time he’ll be great.Has plek been starting on all penalty kills?

polack has looked great lately and him breaking his leg last year is what lost us the playoffs.
People need to quit hating on this guy. He adds some much needed grit for the playoffs. Big hits. Tough in the corners. Clears the front of the net. Good pker.
The year before he was acquired by the Sharks to help them get to the Stanley cup finals.
What’s your definition of true contender?

The entire point of Toronto trading for Polak is that, in terms of analytics, he was one of the worst in the game and they wanted to prove that that didn't mean anything.
The entire point of Toronto trading Polak away is that he was the worst defenseman on the worst team in hockey. And we're still playing him.

Everyone in San Jose wants Polaks head. We lost three games ago because of him which clearly was pivotal in this series.
good thing I used more then one example then hey bud? You can ignore the rest of my post to better fit your narrative.Sharks? Bad example bud, Polak was blamed for a lot of that series loss. He did many very Polak things for them and you can read all about it. He was AWFUL. I mean, really really really, really really bad.
This is an example from Reddit

From experience watching him play for many years...hes very soft and mostly useless in hard tight checking gamesNope!
Leafs PK unit is still:
PK1: Komarov Hyman
PK2: Kapanen Brown
Plek hasn't killed much penalties for the Leafs yet
am just hoping Plek's hatred for bruins bigger than leafs; so he can at least help the leafs kick bruins' ass
It's not a game. It's our Stanley cup hopes, it's our team's future...
Which interview did he say this in?It was a little odd to see him state in an interview that he hopes he's going back to Montreal next year. Stupid trade IMO, he made it clear he doesn't even want to be here.

To be fair, I remember most of the sports media believed he would go back to Montreal next year, and you could see that he was extremely uncomfortable in the post trade interview.It was a little odd to see him state in an interview that he hopes he's going back to Montreal next year.

It looks like his time has come and gone to me. We have a lot of better players than him. I hope they don't hesitate to make him a healthy scratch based on the draft pick.His time will come.
I honestly haven't noticed him on the ice at all since they've traded for him. They're playing extremely well recently so I'm hoping he's had something to do with that, but as far as my eye test is concerned I haven't been impressed.
Before the game tonight they showed an interview where he was asked if he thinks he'll be playing his 1000th game in Montreal next season and he said "I hope so". Like okay then... what a meat head.
