Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted May 11, 2009 What do you guys think of how these guys have played? Abdelkader hasn't had that much ice time, but he seems to get at least one hit per shift, and has even assisted on a goal, without making any mistakes. So while it's a shame that Koko is injured, I'm perfectly happy with his replacement. One concern was his tendency to take dumb penalties, but he sure hasn't done any of that tonight. I'm not sure what his faceoff stats have been... Helm had a good game, he's responded well to more ice time. He got on the scoreboard at a crucial time, in a manner reminiscent of the Grind Line's clutch goals in 97 and 98. It wasn't pretty, and Cleary was in the crease, but I'll still take it. Ericsson has been good as usual. Ericsson was brilliant tonight. His defensive play was second only to Lidstrom out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vincanni 1 Report post Posted May 11, 2009 Darth Kader (will keep using that tag until it catches on, most likely never will) plays exactly how I played through a full season of NHL 2K8 with my fiancee on PS2 last year, she scores, I hit everyone and everything in sight. FYI she's a lot better at video games than me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted May 11, 2009 Somewhat related note: am I the only one who's not too thrilled with Kronner? No, I'm not either. He's been the weak link in our (current) top 4 D. He's not doing terrible, but I wished he would find the groove he had last playoffs and it hasn't really happened. Good thing Stuart has really stepped up though.
