Tirando PSOL e REDE , t todo mundo abafando o caso . <| sep |> Let me just say cold turkey with mayo sandwich . <| sep |> Well , I know your pain all too well . Let ' s hope the 5 th one will do the trick <| sep |> Throughout history there are more physical dmen for sure , but that ' s more of a function of the old style hockey than current reality . Hence why I said archaic thinking . Karlsson is most certainly an elite shutdown dman , he just achieves his results in a different way than almost anyone in nhl history . His shutdown work is achieved by simply never letting the other team have the puck . It ' s quite incredible . Guys like vlasic and letang aren ' t particularly physical either , but they are extremely effective defensively . My point was he doesn ' t need to play physically to he an effective defender in his own zone . Would he really be better defensively if he was more physical ? Honestly , I ' d doubt it . The guy is basically a stick figure . I don ' t know how engaging physically more often would really work out for him .
