[The S5]

Feeble defending, but Shatty is looking a lot better than last season.

Shatty will have you cheering in the regular season and crying in the playoffs. I still don’t understand this move by Tampa. They didn’t need more scoring.

I don't need another car either, but if somebody offers me one for like 5 bucks, I'm probably gonna buy it.

Nylander and Rielly on that play

Even if its in the repair shop for most of the year?

If it doesn't cost any extra, why not?

Yup. Because we have 5 others that'll do just fine.

Look, if the coach is dumb enough to play Shattenkirk if and when he turns into a tirefire? That's on the coach. But having that kind of offensive asset in your back pocket, to use when you want and/or need it? I don't really see where the issue is. The only issue that might pop up, and it has already, is misuse.

Whew #44 getting walked on

Then you gotta pay for insurance on it though.

We're paying McDonagh like 7.7. That's a pretty good policy.

Good for Shatty. Was against the Rangers buying him out and was disappointed Anaheim couldn’t lock him up for that price. But they came off one to their worst seasons, Tampa had one of their best so don’t blame him for signing with Tampa, I would do the same If I wanted a better chance to win. A player like Shatty is what the Ducks need on their PP.

I think his motivation is one last big contract, moreso even than winning. Which is fine by me. He looks great in our offense. Defense has been shaky. I'd say the D has been as advertised, but the O has surpassed our expectations.

I mean, he really could put up 40 points on a 1.75 deal, while the rest of the team covers for him defensively. So, all in all, still great deal.

Dubas should pay McDonagh an extra mill/year to teach his defense how to defend.

 

[NYRKing]

What a move. Such a great pickup for Tampa.

Well that’s the thing. With guys like Vasi or Gibson in net you can afford to take the shaky D, especially if he is putting up that kind of production as a D.

 

[LGBlues]

Great play and as an aside it is cool listening to the announcers actually say so - it is going to be fun watching him this year.

 

[BostonBruins11]

Nice goal , but Rielly is absolutely putrid defensively IMO, even worse than Krug (which is very difficult to do lol)

 

[SenzZen]

Turrible defending.

 

[LGBlues]

Over the years lots of Blues made me cry in the playoffs but not Shatty - we got the best of him. Just might be the right coach and team for him now - hope so.

 

[DFC]

This is a nice goal, but the real promising thing, for us, is he gets the puck on net a lot. That, combined with his vision, I think makes him a net positive.

When the guy is this good offensively, but makes just 1.75, you can't expect much in the way of defense. But most defenders making 1.75 don't give you offense OR defense, so I'm gonna call this contract a win.

 

[Kranix]

Reilly is bruuuuutal

 

[CupsOverCash]

What a goal by Shatty. Fits on this offense like a glove.

 

[Sky04]

Someone is going to overpay Shattenkirk so much next year, glad he's only at 1.75m this year

Probably the Leafs LMAO..

gonna try and fix their defensive failures by adding another offensive D

Been preaching this since the Bolts made their awful change to their unis. With Stevie Y gone I'm hoping the whole Detroit Maple Leafs jerseys and logo thing can go away. This isn't an original 6 team and their whole look is a dumpster fire. When the Bolts and Leafs play it's a huge reason why they should go back to black for primary unis.
