wingsownnhl43 14 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 I easily take Lidstrom and Rafalski over him.. probably Kronwall, and with the way Stuart has been playing this playoffs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EuroTwin 240 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 I believe the OP was implying that Gonchar would "play for us" the same way Campbell is "playing for us" right now. Or at least that's what I got out of it, which made me laugh. Remember kids, there is no D in Gonchar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zata20 4 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) I guess I would take Rafalski over him, and I wouldn't want him over kronner or stewie. The thing is if he was on our team he would be higher on the depth chart then kronner and stewie. EDIT: I would take Lids over him in a heart beat, who wouldn't?

Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 I'd take Kronwall or Stuart over him in a heartbeat. He's a tiny forward who plays defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 He plays a tiny man's game. He's one of the reasons I laugh when people get on Mule's case for being "soft." Also, I'm 6'4. So just about everyone's tiny to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltgator333 3 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 Irregardless of size the guy isn't physically imposing in any way. And I wouldn't take him over any D we have right now. Not even Lebda. The guy doesn't play D, he's a PP quarterback more or less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisdetroit 189 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 That's dumb. At least 3rd, maybe 2nd. I'm with you. He's not better than Lids and I think that Ralfi is marginally better than Gonchar so I'd say our 3rd. I think Gonchar is better than Kroner but not dramatically so, the their is Big E, ...

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 I actually like Gonchar... His offense is known as good, but his defense is underrated. It also really speaks a lot about him considering the Pens became elite again at the latter part of the season with his presence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
