[quote CowbellGuy]Well, I'm not sure my praise of Davenport would be quite that glowing. I think he's solid, but does go out to play the puck every single opportunity he gets. Nothing disastrous as a result of that so far, but I could easily see him getting burned for 2 or 3 goals a season as a result of it. Does it balance out with all the puck possession gained? Perhaps.

Other than that, he has a tendency to go down early, but he's solid positionally. I think we can expect 2-3 goals against each game, and if the offense can score more than that, they should win. I'm not saying those 2-3 goals are all Davenport, either. The defense is still rocky at times.

To this point, he hasn't really faced a steady barrage from any team. He hasn't really been tested. This weekend should be very telling.[/quote]

That's totally fair, and in hindsight I was a little overzealous with my praise.  I guess I'm in the minority on this one, but I thought he faced that steady barrage from Brown and really saved our bacon for a long stretches during the game (especially 2nd/3rd periods).  With the exception of one against RIT and one against Robert Morris all of his goals against have been scored from the low slot.  And I'd only call one or maybe two of them soft.  Let's see see how he handles this weekend.
