Reading the Edmonton ING thread it reminded me of the lockout season where the Oilers farm team was loaded. Shultz being a main star. Anyways one of the networks decided to televise their game against Abbotsford and of course it was all about the young Oilers except they mentioned Brodie and wanted to see him rush the puck. Well Shultz was all over the ice while I don't think Brodie went pass centre ice 5 on 5 the whole game and according to the broadcasters was disappointing. It's just an example of learning to play defence the way it's supposed to be played, as Brodie did. Now that he's got that down, he can expand his game again. Shultz never did learn that lesson.
This is just another reason I like Brodie, he's solid on defence and is often a game changer. Yeah he's underrated by the league and even by our fans.
