Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted January 8, 2010 Ok good, I don't like to pick on any wings player by themselves but leino just doesn't seem to have the upper body strength to compete down low and in corners. He looks like a pinball bouncing between a couple bumpers lol. He needs to spend some serious time in the weight room. He's one of the weakest players I've ever seen.

He can be a good player but i think is major weakness is his strength. He's very weak in the legs and in the upper body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted January 8, 2010 God just watching Leino makes me wish we had been one of the teams that "missed out" on him. I feel a bit sorry for Filppula really. If only Holmstrom hadn't been injured he'd likely be playing with Bertuzzi and Cleary. And as much as everyone loves him, I don't think Cleary belongs on the 2nd line.

And as much as everyone loves him, I don't think Cleary belongs on the 2nd line. I do, Cleary has looked better then Flip and Leino so far in this game. If only we had someone that did something in the place of Leino his line might be able to score tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedWingedKitten 9 Report post Posted January 8, 2010 So far Helm and Howard (as usual) are standing out. I expect the Z-D-B line to look better as the game progresses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted January 8, 2010 I don't expect too much from this game to be honest. Losing Holmstrom and getting Cleary and Z back means more adjusting. We haven't gelled real fast so far this season. I'd love a win and it's not out of reach or anything, but I'm not going to really be surprised or upset if we lose this one.
