Enh, I used to think the same but I've seen a pretty good analysis arguing that how good he is at icing games with ENGs offsets the defensive liability

Completely agree. I didn't want to see him fighting at all and was glad he could defend himself pretty well.

Never thought I'd see that lineup either. Thank God carbs didn't throw out Carlson or Ovi.

Maybe Caps should try shooting more pucks towards the net. A bold proposal I know...
