haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted March 30, 2011 Why isn't E battling for a spot? Why does Ericsson have a spot locked up? Because Babcock evidently has a different opinion of E's performance than some people here. Being a whipping boy on LGW doesn't equal actually playing awful. ummmm.....toughness????? That's my biggest disappointment with Salei. With age and injury, he's lost the edge I was hoping he'd bring to the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UP Wings Fan 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2011 My opinion, Ericsson should be sitting, Kindl and Salei deserve to play. You never notice Salei on the ice, hmm...because he is doing his job, not turning the puck over. Kindl is more offensive, sure, but has much better responsibility in his own end then Ericsson! Not sure what Babcock sees in Ericsson, sure he's a big body with a long reach, but he is turnover prone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mjtm77 Report post Posted March 31, 2011 Ericsson will not be sitting. It doesent matter how bad Salei plays or how good kindl plays down the stretch the playoffs are a whole new ball game it will be Salei in the line up no questions asked Kindl would be a disaster come playoff time.
