Do you like watching blueliners just rush up the ice with no hesitation? Do you like it when defensemen are comfortable in possession of the puck and will drive play with individual efforts? Do you want to grip the arms of your chair so damn hard that whatever fabric falls victim under your fingertips starts to peel away from the frame? Well, you’re going to love Denton Mateychuk.
It is not that Mateychuk struggles or goes too far deep into the offensive zone, but everything is done with some semblance of poise and calmness, while also freaking the hell out because he just wants to do everything all at once, all the time.
