You say the game evolves...Pittsburgh just won a Stanley Cup playing incredible DEFENSE...no goals allowed in the last 2 games. Who was playing shutdown/defensive minutes for them? Daley, Dumolin, and particularly Ron Hainsey. Who do you suggest was better on the back end defensively?
Who played shutdown defense for the Preds? Are you seriously asking that?
They all did...but they have an amazing group of 4 that can play both ends equally effectively...no other team sans a healthy Duck squad can claim the same.

OK. My mistake. I thought we were talking about Alzner types. If we are saying Subban and Ellis are the new defensive D-men types, I will definitely take more of same. Flames have 3 very good ones now.
