  1. Doug Wilson is the best thing to happen to the Sharks since Dean Lombardi....
  2. @hf101 I saw that... looks pretty bad. I started this post about 15 mins before I saw his injury.
  3. The most significant advantages you gain in my opinion: -Higher chance of gaining possesion of loose pucks. -Puck battles along the boards down low are going to be helped out with the extra man spotting either along the boards, refusing an attempted clear. Or sending that extra man in the slot to force defenseman away from puck battles down low. -Fatigue factor. When short handed you have to work twice as hard as the other team, stressing on positioning. -Opponents 'grinders' forced to work in last minutes instead of scoring leaders. (This is why Jonathan Toews is so valuable. He can grind it out).
  4. I was jk, I know he is good... Erik Karlsson leads the league in shots on goal with 62. This is crazy to me. The next 40 or so players are forwards (Jack Johnson is 2nd on D men with 36). HOWEVER, I'm not a big stats guy since some of the most important players on their teams aren't going to stand out statistically. For example, Dan Girardi is among leaders in hits and blocks the past few years, and will contribute 25-30 points. These players are rare. Karlsson is rare, but in a different kind of way. 78 points last year led D men by far, however, only had 60 hits, 65 block shots. What type of player is more valuable? I know Karlsson would be picked ahead of Girardi 100% of the time, but are there as many GOOD defensive D men as there are good offensive Defenseman? My first post, had to get it out of the way, sorry if it's lacking. Was just on my mind.
