Just curious who that is? Mostly because I want to know who not to listen to for hockey analysis.
If you were told that the Blues would lose Brewer & Johnson for the season and McKee for a significant portion, then have Jackman as their defensive leader, what would you have guessed the Blues chances were for getting in the playoffs? I would have guessed zero. I wasn't too high on this defense before the injuries. But Jackman and Polak have stepped up and played solid defensive hockey for the Blues. Considering the youth and inexperience of Polak and the limited skill level of Jackman, I am nothing short of impressed with this defense.
I suppose we'll just agree to disagree on this one...
