Euro_Twins 4,475 Report post Posted February 12, 2013 Really? I thought he was quick last year. No he's Andersson, Quick plays for LA 2 stevieisthebest and derblaueClaus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Motown4013 350 Report post Posted February 12, 2013 Small sample size but he holds a 71.4% face off percentage right now. Certainly beats the 45.5% win percentage held by the Wings current 4th line center.Ok, that's one stat but let's look at the rest of his play... Took a silly penalty, is a minus, has three giveaways and no takeaways and no shots on goal. He has potential but he is not NHL ready verses a solid role player who has a wicked wrister, some speed and is very effective on the PK. Eaves is glass. Andersson is probably trying real hard not to get out of position right now, so it's probably safe to say he needs a bit more time to get comfortable with a spot in the line-up before he goes all out. I'd rather give the new blood a chance. Eaves was out of the line up with a serious concussion.....give the brother a minute! 2 Hockeymom1960 and Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do seem to be finding every reason to not play him. 1 Motown4013 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RusDRW 155 Report post Posted February 12, 2013 I think Andersson played well. Hitting everyone in his sight? No, definitely, but his positioning was good, he is going to the tough areas, fighting for the puck. Reminded me Mule in his first games with the big club.

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted February 12, 2013 He might be all right someday, but right now we have other NHL ready players in Tatar, Nyquist, and Lashoff. Mrazek is probably close, too, but I'd rather he get playing time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
