Congrats to K. Russell for earning an NHL record for shot blocking. Might be a record that is obscure and has only been tracked for a few seasons, but takes a lot of guts and wear and tear to earn. I'll admit I was pretty negative about Russell being on the roster drawing so much of a cap hit for a seventh or eighth defenseman, but when the injury bug hit the Oilers LD pretty much overnight, he was ready to step right in. Glad he is part of the team.

Yeah shot blocking is one stat that is not subjective, its a shot the goaltender doesn't have to make, and a potential goal. He also managed to totally evolve his game over his career, he was an offensive dynamo in the WHL, and had to change to a shutdown tradesman. Tip of the Hat.

Does shot blocking ever have a negative side effect? Like deflecting pucks past your own goaltender at key moments in important games?
|
I think it wouldn't be classified as a shot block in that case.
|
Good point! I think it was Wayne Gretzky that said "you don't block 100% of the shots that bounce off you into your own net."
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.
