I understand he has had his share of defensive gaffes and bad passes and it pisses me off that he doesn't throw his body around like Jeff Beukeboom used too, but let's take a look at the numbers for the Sasquatch: <BR/>Career +/- for NHL Defensmen: #49 on ALL-TIME list at +136 which is 9 spots ahead of our boy Beukeboom and 8 spots behind our other boy Sergie Zubov. All personal hatred aside, the fact is that for his entire NHL career, when the Sasquatch is on the ice his team puts the puck in the net! I can't think of a better measure-of-success for a defensmen than their plus/minus. If you can, I'm all ears... Oh, before you continue to bash him, take a look at the plus/minus leaders for the league since the lockout. All the Sasqautch needs is to learn how to take the tampon out and throw some hits..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-58693995852051799332008-10-14T02:23:00.000-04:002008-10-14T02:23:00.000-04:00Anon 2 - Kalinin is very like Malik.

Luckily, as of yet, he hasn't scored on his own goal. But that could well change - it is a long season.Scotty Hockeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18440672878311338910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-63142550811880398642008-10-13T22:40:00.000-04:002008-10-13T22:40:00.000-04:00Why so many knocks on Kalinin?

Granted he played atrocious in the first two games, I think he's got a little better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-75548240275929322382008-10-13T22:39:00.000-04:002008-10-13T22:39:00.000-04:00I am sure Malik will do well in Tampa Bay.
