Quinn slept on so fuckin hard. Got almost 0 recognition for the Norris, and yet he’s tied for 2nd in defenceman scoring, as a fucking vancouver canuck no less.

7 guys on this and only one of them was a Norris finalist even though the award literally goes to the best offensive dman anyway

Only 2-3 of these guys are actually capable of playing defence.

Dougie fucking crushed it last season. Felt like every goal was a crucial goal or game winner. Also felt like a true leader on the team.

“The best defence is a good offense” is about the stupidest saying in sports.
The best defenseman is the best *defenceman*. I’d take a guy who’s blocking shots and shutting down plays over a guy who’s padding his points.
Sure, adding to the scoreboard is great, but not when you’re letting more goals get past you.

He’s a good offensive dman and an adequate defensive dman. But still that contract is tough

I guess Burns leaving did allow him to get back on track!

Never plays D worth shit

More importantly, how about Brandon Montour?!? What a fucking stud.

Incredibly overrated. He is such a defensive liability it is unreal.

In other breaking news that you’re hearing here first, hockey is played on ice!

Yea, but what’s his +/-? Defensive scoring is great, if defense was also played.

It’s interesting the top three were all on bad teams.

Makar made “only” 66 points – in 60 games.
In case anyone wondering, why he is missing
