wings1110 184 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 I know hes playing in the AHL right now but you gotta love how hes playing 5 fights since hes been down there and when he is on the big club he needs to keep it up! He also has some pretty good numbers since hes been in GR: 19gp 7g 8a 15p +3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MCleveland89 122 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 I miss him. Regardless of any mistakes he made, I always loved watching him play. Plus, that has to be the most badass last name ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA Report post Posted March 7, 2010 His ppg is pretty good considering how everyone else in GR has been doing. Yeah, but don't get too excited... Kopecky had 72 points in 77 gamaes his last year in the AHL I miss him. Regardless of any mistakes he made, I always loved watching him play. Plus, that has to be the most badass last name ever. I think it is of Arab origin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carman 387 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 I'm glad he's not taking a break down there and is still working hard. We'll need him soon enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superstarsingh 23 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 Yeah, but don't get too excited... Kopecky had 72 points in 77 gamaes his last year in the AHL I think it is of Arab origin. Yeah, that may be true of Kopecky but he never impressed in the NHL (in any form) like Abs has. The name Abdelkader is of Arab origin, I would have guessed German or the like.

newfy 695 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 Yeah and he had another fight 2 nights ago that was the second fight while Tardif was fighting Desbien. SO really he has 6 since he's been down. He did a good job against Nathan Mciver who is a pretty legit fighter in the NHL when he's up. Abs has what it takes to be a good middleweight in the NHL if he keeps it up. He looks way too good for the AHL when I've watched the last few games, he'll be a force come playoffs with the big team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my whole life, I may have been punched in the face during a fight a total of 6 times (that doesn't incude the fights I've been in where they couldn't get off a punch to my face). That's a rather demanding part of the job descritpion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
