Being good defensively means two different things today. There is being good defensively, where you are in your own zone and you don’t have the puck, which Shattenkirk isn’t very good at. And then there is the other being good defensively, which includes the benefit of the total amount drone time and shots you prevent by virtue of creating offense outside of your own zone. This is what makes Shattenkirk such an effective defender, he suppresses shots by creating offense.

Now... why Shattenkirk is getting PK time when we are basically tied up in our zone, is a Cooperism which I cannot explain.

 

[Stammertime91]

The greatest right handed defenseman in franchise history.

GTFO, Shattenturnover doesn't hold a candle to Brian Lee.

 

[DFC]

I think you guys are forgetting a certain Zdeno Chara clone.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Matt Gilroy?

Can we talk about how brutal Reilly was there?

 

[Sky04]

That goal earns him about 5 turnovers of good grace.

Which he will spend on his first shift Saturday.

Hes going to put up some points here though. He made a smart gamble.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Sick goal by Shitty! Say what you will he’s truly awesome offensively. If only he’d simplify his zone exits and half his turnovers would disappear.

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

what a move highlight reel imho

I remember years ago robert wanted Shattenkirk always

[HoseEmDown]

I'll give him credit he's a better shooter than I thought. He knows how to get his shot through which has caused some rebound chances as well as a couple of goals.

I like him better at the current price.
