He gets bullied around A LOT by guys that are smaller than him. That’s not what you want out of a defenseman. He shies away from contact too often. He doesn’t need to be Trouba out there, but he can’t be Mark Staal either. Somewhere in between would be nice.
There are 82 games plus the playoffs. He does shy away from contact from times to times which he makes up with his reach. He is not a physical d-men. They already have Lindgren who can't stay on the ice without being injured. Trouba does not shy away from contact and smaller guys still abuse him constantly defensively.
I’ve said this before, but does ANY team get thrown out of the faceoff circle as much as we do? Seriously. It’s one of the reasons we suck on faceoffs because these linesmen are super eager to throw us out.
Did you also just see him have a chance to hit someone in the neutral zone but get scared to make the hit and it led to Florida getting a chance? Like I said, I don’t want him throwing his body around recklessly, but when the chance is there to lay a good clean hit he needs to take it more often than he does.
You need to work on reading comprehension. I literally said I don’t want him throwing his body around recklessly.
thats a tough spot. Goal scorer with no one on him and plenty of time to pick his spot. Laf bails them out at least. Or maybe Panarin. Whomever it was, all tied up again.
I commented about his brain dead play out there, which it was a very lazy play that almost cost the game. That’s “shitting” on him? Please take a seat and have a drink. You’re just looking to pick a fight on here because something in your life isn’t satisfying you or something.
do you ever say anything positive about any player? All you do is shit on a guy if he makes a mistake but you will never say anything positive.
