He's a good defenseman based on what?
He's a good skater?
Good in the dzone?
Good offensively?
Physical presence?
Good outlet passes?
I can block shots too, I have blocked shots. Blocked a few of Lannys shots when I played hockey on his sons team. He gave me props and said good hustle, but I sucked at hockey and blocking is the easiest thing to do in the game, stay still and don't move.
