Then you must hate Zibanejad and Turris
I hate any player that doesn't backcheck or acts like he doesn't care when it comes to defensive responsibilities. It's a team game and everybody needs to play their part and not take chances that could cost to the team but also work hard to prevent those mistakes to end up in the net. To be honest, Turris is a good defensive player and at worst he is miles better than Spezza even thoo his effort level seems down from usual. This is a very simple part of the game and I hope you understand it.
A guy like Bobby Ryan is a lot more complete player than Spezza per example. Not only does he put up points, but he isn't a drop pass turnover machine and he doesn't take a break when it comes to the defensive aspect of the game. Players like Spezza lose you games more often than they win you games. Look at Spezza's turnover numbers this year with the amount of minutes he's played. It's absolutely mind numbing that he hasn't taken more defensive responsibilities over the years.
