Brett Palin is a defensive god.
It's been discussed on here before just how impressive Brett Palin has been in his year and a half in Quad City. However, he took it to a new level tonight. With the Flames facing a daunting penalty kill - over a minute and a half of 5 on 3 - Brett Palin took over the ice. Despite blocking a shot, that very obviously stung him, early on the kill, he stayed on the ice for the entire penalty kill. The Flames had trouble clearing the ice after the penalties expired, and Palin's shift stretched to over three minutes. Palin was an absolute machine on defense tonight, and earned a star for his contributions.
