#19 Justin Schultz, 1. It’s been hard to watch the promising young defender’s game come off the rails as the season has gone on. Wednesday night may have been a new low, as the Oilers were outshot 14-0 during Justin’s (team-leading!?) 17 minutes at even strength. In that time the Oilers attempted just 5 shots, 4 of which got blocked; the Hawks meanwhile had 23 attempts, just 1 of which was blocked. I’d think about that a little more except my head hurts already.
He ain't no Bobby Orr...He might not even be Bobby Fischer... |
To defend Schultz on one hand, this is the longest season that he's played in a long time, I would think that fatigue set in and lead him to a pretty disastrous second half.
However watching him play, he's a disaster in his own end, he needs a lot of work on that end of his game, and maybe building his fitness and strength to an NHL level.
Right now he has more in common with MA Bergeron then anything else.
I'm not too sure that I would trade Brodie straight across for him.
