Why is Russell the D on the second line in OT? Where is Larsson?
|
I’d wager they believe Russel is better suited to 3v3? Speed reasons. I dunno. A better question is raise is why is Chiasson out to take an offensive zone faceoff with Nuge on his wing?
|
He's a good shot blocker with a heart. It's literally impossible to score on the rush against the starfish defense. Exactly what the Oilers needed.
|
Just a shallow team. Like Oscargasm says, it's just his skating ability that his him out there. You have a bunch of D with no offensive talent to pick from, I guess you just pick the one that can skate best.
|
Ok, but why couldn't the Oilers (coaches or GM) pick a defenseman with some defensive ability to use? Simply having a guy with heart who can lay on the ground doesn't seem to be working.
By the way, everyone here and in the media who said the Oilers were struggling while Russell was injured because he was injured was wrong wrong wrong. He's not a good NHL defenseman.
|
He's probably our best defensive D IMO. Just can't move a puck to save his life so he's forcing the team to be in a constant defensive posture when he's out there. He got owned at the end there for sure, but all our D have moments like that. Not many can actually hustle to get in position to be owned like that 3v3 though. Most of our D would just be chasing that play through most of 3v3, which is just as bad, and probably worse.
