@@WorldisGone Seriously. Dubas not only got one of the best defenseman in the league, he got Petry and Granlund’s contracts out at the same time. Nobody got “fleeced” but I’m thrilled for what the Pens got. No matter what, 87, 71, and 58’s final years will be fun and competitive.
When a player has to be the best goal scorer and best assist man in a bad team then of course his defense is going to go down. I am sure his coaches tell him to play his offensive game because the Shark's do not have a go to guy offensively right now (Hopefully that will be Will Smith in the future). Karlsson could just focus on defense if he was in a better team!
I STILL CANT BELIEVE THAT EK FREAKING 65 IS A PITTSBURGH PENGUIN!! HELL YEAH!! I can't wait for October! Specifically one of the most important days in all of human history..that day of course is October 5th. Oct 5th is my birthday, but it's also the glorious day that Le MAGNIFIQUE was born! Thats right. MARIO F'N LEMIUEX!! Praise be! 😂😂 For real tho, this season is going to be so fun to watch
Had one good year for the sharks when it didn't matter, because the team around him was gutted. If he had played close to this level for the past 4 years, he'd still be in San Jose, and they'd likely still have a winning team. As a sharks fan, it was too late for this kind of performance. He needed to go for the full rebuild to begin.
Being from Carolina; the Sharks uniforms throw me off, I see those colors and I immediately think Charlotte. It would be cool if Charlotte got an NHL team
Karlsson had most even strength points long into the season and the season ended with Mackinnon on top with 77 and Karlsson had 74. That says a lot playing on such a bad team
He deserved an award, but it wasn’t the Norris. He was atrocious on defence, there is no reason he should have won it. There is also no reason there isn’t a points award for defence.
You are aware the Sharks made it to the 2019 WCF but the Lost 4-2 to the Eventual Champion Blues he was present on that roster but yes it was a slight overcorrection then General Manager Doug Wilson.
I have followed him all his career and this is such a tremendous season for him. But... his arrogance has increased and he is obviously not very liked by his fellow team-mates. That part is so sad.
@@JustBrowsing777 ... When he scores, yes. What do you see in their faces when Karlsson just doesn't care to mark his man or simply gives up on a play that goes against him...?
Apparently it’s the 80s again. At least when Paul Coffey won his Norris Trophies, it was at a time when scoring was everything. We’re not in the Dead Puck Era anymore, but it’s not exactly 1985. The Best Defenseman shouldn’t just be the guy who scores a lot of points. Then again, we award the Best Defensive Forward to the guy who scores 70 points, so whoever is voting needs a dictionary. Guy Charbonneau would never win a single Selke in today’s NHL. That’s embarrassing. The more American the game becomes, the less sense it makes - which shouldn’t be surprising. The game went downhill starting in 1995 and hasn’t made sense since. 1990-94 was still the best era for hockey.
@@JBTriple8these boomers are something else while they can make argument about having a separate award for the actual best defensive defenseman, that I will listen to. Saying the 90s is the best hockey ever is laughable. The game has only trended more towards skill and scoring. What was the goalie league avg last year again like .906? It’s respectable and you still have the dynamite goalies, but they’re few and far between and the game has progressed and advanced so much that even fourth line guys are expected to pot 8-10 goals and anywhere from 20-30 points. Todays game is so much more skill based the idea that the 90s was the best and everything has been downhill since, is a good joke but that’s about all it is.
While I agree with your defence point, I gotta disagree about the Selke. The man who wins the Selke needs to be a treat two way forward, this means he needs to score points as well as defend. He needs to be good on offence while being amazing on defence which is why you get Selke winners like Bergeron, Barkov, Toews, Datsyuk, O’Reilly, etc. players who are very good on offence while also being great pm defence. This is why players like Philip Danault don’t win it. They are amazing on defence but meh on offence which isn’t the true spirit of the award.
@@JBTriple8 Yes, I like my hockey rough, hard and with fight and passion. Today look more like balett on skates. Political messaging is more important than the game itself, to many breaks in the periods, harder rules has created more head injuries and concussions than before. The protection on golies are way to large for example. The sticks are more like a "bow" instead of a stick... So yes, hockey is not so much hockey as before. I will not get with the times, I know whats good and whats bad, thats something age teaches you.
@@Shatamxot sure why, because he was noticeably their best D man as well. Every Sharks game dude was all over the ice, at least if the game was close. There were definitely time they were losing by 5+ and he just stopped trying. But his defensive games is grossly underrated.
Yes, he did amass an insane amount of points for a D Man but in my opinion he's not actually that good at the actual defense part. 101 points but a -26. Should the Norris winner be a more well rounded defender? Might be my hot take though. Either way incredible season again for him when everyone thought his career was in the dumpster.
Great season, love Karlsson. Even as a leaf fan that run on one leg to the eastern finals was something of legend. Imagine if he was healthy. Saying that, how does a defence man on a horrible team win the Norris for best defenceman in the league. Should automatically be disqualified due to being on a basement dweller
As a Penguins fan I am so far beyond excited to see Karlsson in person. Just to watch him play for my team is worth the ticket price
Congrats on the Norris, amazing comeback season. Nevermind the haters.
That last goal vs toronto in OT was so nuts hoooly, welcome to pens family EK65
Welcome to Pittsburgh!!!!
A true sport gentleman, genuine gifted with pure hockey skills and a very down to earth guy.
Long live EK65🤘
Karlsson no looks the pass assisting the goal at 1:41...
Absolutely filthy
watching this everyday until hes on the pens.
Did you actually watch it every day or was that a silly joke
Isn't it great to have Erik Karlsson
@@WorldisGone Seriously. Dubas not only got one of the best defenseman in the league, he got Petry and Granlund’s contracts out at the same time.

His best season as A Shark congrats EK65
He got traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a 3-Team Trade with San Jose,Pittsburgh,and Montreal ⚫️🟡⚪️🐧

Leah Hextall had the ability to ruin an entire highlight reel with one single call

01:40 - Офигеть! Дайте два :)!
I thought a "BEST Of" the leages best defenseman would include majority defensive plays.
Being from Carolina; the Sharks uniforms throw me off, I see those colors and I immediately think Charlotte. It would be cool if Charlotte got an NHL team
Hi, Pens fans!
Pens are gonna a whole different team next year honestly could see them finishing 4 or even 3rd
Let's go!
Why is there even an intro for this kind of video.
why ottawa left him
Welcome to the Penguins
nasty
He isnt a - Player in 5v5. That stat is USELESS. Sure, he is weak defensively, but dont use +/- to prove a point.
Karlsson had most even strength points long into the season and the season ended with Mackinnon on top with 77 and Karlsson had 74. That says a lot playing on such a bad team
The point of it is the lines he played on scored more goals than got scored on. I'd say it isn't useless in this case
He deserved an award, but it wasn’t the Norris. He was atrocious on defence, there is no reason he should have won it. There is also no reason there isn’t a points award for defence.

What’s with the ugly border ruining the video
Maybe so, maybe so. But his arrival marked the descent of the Sharks.
You are aware the Sharks made it to the 2019 WCF but the Lost 4-2 to the Eventual Champion Blues he was present on that roster but yes it was a slight overcorrection then General Manager Doug Wilson.

Should be a trophy for best offense and one for best defense.
Totally agree about the state of hockey, after 95 it became worse and worse.

Not one defensive play at all. The hell happened to the Norris trophy?
whats wrong with having Dmen that can score the more weapons the better
@@JBTriple8 A team in the bottom 5 of all defensive categories?
@@ShatamxOffence is the best defence
Yeah there’s one at 2:35
By Andreas Johnson
@@Shatamxot sure why, because he was noticeably their best D man as well. Every Sharks game dude was all over the ice, at least if the game was close. There were definitely time they were losing by 5+ and he just stopped trying. But his defensive games is grossly underrated.
We gotta stop giving this award to defenseman that cant defend. He only had that good of a season because playing the sharks was a night off.
There needs to be 2 separate awards.
Bobby Orr Award - most points as a defence in a season
Norris - best all around defence in the league
@@greathoonta3461 Bobby Orr bought a full page ad in a Boston rag in support of Trump. His legacy is RUINED. F that guy.
He can defend though… his defensive game is very underrated.
@@poejavelski148 2022-23 +/- -26. Great defenseman!
@@cqpzg He plays on one of the worst teams in the league, most of the Sharks best players are in the -30s.

Dude he’s on a top 3 worst team in the league and considering he was on the ice for a lot of empty net goals it’s not that bad
Shut up
it was his best as A Shark
He was on ice for 21 empty netters. So he was only -5.
He had the most even strength points and sharks PK was good with him this year
Offensively Talented but he doesn't know how to play defense. Good Luck getting out of the first round with Dubas as your boat anchor.
Great season, love Karlsson. Even as a leaf fan that run on one leg to the eastern finals was something of legend. Imagine if he was healthy. Saying that, how does a defence man on a horrible team win the Norris for best defenceman in the league. Should automatically be disqualified due to being on a basement dweller
The Norris award is a personal one , not based on team result. That specific award went to Vegas Knights.
@@kenneththorberg6914 True
Personal reward. Dude is the only reason sharks didn’t lose every game
If the pens stay healthy I bet they won't ever get skunked all year. But the way they play it's gonna be hard to stay healthy.
