And I guess nobody is going to tell me why Alzner is good.
I'm still waiting.
yeah and that tweet with all the stats weren't enough? You bring up the shot attempts argument.
Believe me, if we didn't have Carey Price, all our dmen would be buyouts this summer. You have absolutely no idea how good Price makes our defencemen look. We get outplayed basically every game. We will be spending more time in our zone then the reverse, once why we need Karl Alzner. From the stats he can make a good first pass and that's well enough.
When you have Ovechkin not even backing up on defence, you will get a lot of shot attempts. The caps don't have many two way forwards even none? Tell me if Kuznetsov and Backstrom and Burakovsky, marcus johansson have won the selke?
Anybody that watches the habs know that Price makes the defence look good and the defence ISN'T doing their job. Even Markov, who is known to be decent in his zone is making more and more mistakes and is more often behind the play.
Nor is the offence that's MB's responsibility to fix.
