It's just too bad that he's smallish, but he does finish his forechecks.

Shore had one bad play that I saw (where he ended up on Ramo). But he otherwise has been decent on faceoffs, a really good forechecker and has some size, speed and grit. Pretty good defensively - I saw some good takeaways.
I hate isolating a play and tagging a player with it. Schlemko had some bad moments last night, but I think he'll be fine.
