Got to say. When an "expert" that is supposed to be explaining the game to us peons says, I stopped listening to a player explaining his physical mobility problems and the defensive liability adjustments he had to make to cope, I am going to have to agree with your cement brain assessment. I mean, if what he said is true "it's all in the brains to become a better defensemen". it shouldn't take much for every single D out there being a #1 then. I mean, having your legs lopped off has no baring, playing with a broken arm, nope, having no mobility in your hips, not an excuse. It's all between the ears. I wouldn't have had a problem if after a reasoned discussion that was the conclusion but to just brush it all off by saying "I stopped listening" makes me fee the same way. I stopped listening and won't be back.
It made perfect sense to me. He's less Mobile when he has to react because his injury restricts his movement. When her has the puck he dictates his moment... Pretty simple
As an Oilers fan, I think John will be an asset for Edmonton and bring his own style of defense. Most of all aside from being an Oiler, I'm very happy he's healthy w/o constant pain.
4:35 good lord is this guy bone headed. complete cement brained take.
Don‘t you love it when fat out of shape dudes try to tell you that a hip injury doesn’t affect your defensive abilities lol

Kberg will most likely pair with Nurse and on second line PP or first depending on game situation, like when Bouchard makes his pathetic giveaways.
Boost the power play???? Have you guys not noticed the Oilers Power Play was at historic percentage levels for the past 5 years???? Like seriously???
Defence has nothing to do with mobility? Thats news to me
Man it takes proper mobility the play any level of d-fence without the puck. Get someone that knows the position to make comments
Yeah, Klingberg is not appearing on the PP.
"Being a better defensive player has nothing to do with your hip?" Who is this clown?
Buddy on far left has never played a sport in his life. Shouldn't be critiquing that hard.
have you watch an oiler game? Kberg will not see PP1 time
The guy on the left is not a good analyst
