You clearly don’t know who Jonas Brodin even is. He’s not big AND he’s an elite skater...easily in the top 10% of all nhl defensemen!
did i say he was big ?
you make excuses while offering nothing
i made a point its on you to counter not just insult and cry like a child .
Beaulieau isnt big but like Brodin was drafted before the rule changes were made
when you play a certain style your whole career then once you go Pro they change it all there's an impact .
Brad Marchand played Junior here and was So Popular that fans cheered him as loud as they did Crosby back in the day as he was a legit star who relied heavily on hits that were legal at the time he was Developing . well the Rules changed at the NHL level and Brad spent the next few years developing his game and becoming more of a pest then relying on his skill . As years passed the league's seen his skill come out at the same level that was expected of him after the Draft . Brad was pretty close though to ending up in no mans land with his Junior Captain and my former Tutor Bruce Graham .
Rule changes have an impact but it takes a certain amount of Hockey IQ to recognize it and Fantasy League fans never do .
Its always the people who support Hockey at the Junior , College or NHL that have physically been to multiple games yearly that see it
all i can say is you need to focus on what people say because you took a comment about the team and tried to manipulate it by suggesting i said Brodin when infact i specifically stated in no vague terms it was a group criticism . Shattenkirk isnt big and slow either incase you didnt clue in to the reference they're basically the same size .Shattenkirk played on a big /slow team his whole career like Brodin before a purposed trade and Shattenkirk has just now adjusted to speed based play of the East 3 teams and a buyout later .
You're coming up with hopes , dreams and wishes based on anything and everything but his actions then throwing shade
i challenge you to offer something intelligent that qualifys as a counter point and not just a middle school come back
