That was not my argument. The original post talked about Jankowski playing 50% of the defense against McDavid as Backlund does. I really don't think Jankowski is going to be any worse than Backlund in a shutdown role. He is not half the defensive forward as Backlund. I like Backlund and think he is a great player. I also think he is definitely overrated by Flames fans.
That being said, they will still both look like clowns a few times every time they play against the Flames.
As for shots, yes I would rather take 1 breakaway than 20 shots at the goalies chest 
Btw, I saw you moving. Don't move! I will be right back..... |
You totally took an undeserved shot at Backlund with this, "The one where McDavid constantly gets breakaways and makes him look pretty foolish?"
What games have you been watching?
McDavid has not made Backlund look foolish. Backlund has shadowed McDavid very well and he will be totally missed on Saturday vs the Oilers.
