Former Edmonton Oilers defenseman Justin Schultz has had quite the season. Full of ups-and-downs, he went from the most-hated defender on the Oilers roster to a third-pairing Penguins defenseman who went on to become a Stanley Cup champion.
In an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Schultz discussed his new-found second chance with the Penguins, winning the Cup and what went wrong in Edmonton.
According to Schultz, who answered the question of why it didn’t work out with Edmonton, a lot of his struggles came with confidence, and implied that the fans and the media did not help him in that category.
