Adirondack is so effed right now on Defence. You ripped out the heart of it.
Wotherspoon is a fantastic defenceman. He logs LONG minutes every game, he plays on PP, PK, 5 on 5, 4 on 4. Even with his size, I find him to be a very clean skater. He's been more involved in plays this year then what I saw last season, he carries the puck and he's not afraid to take a shot from the point. I think he clued in he is a big, strong guy and so if he blasts it from the point it will go through people. He's found some success taking shots from the top, whether it's a goal or just creating a good chance for the guys. He hits, maybe not as hard as you'd expect from a large guy, but cleanly and effectively.
And of course, good defensive plays. He doesn't get beat very often, he rarely is out of position.
