Unsung Hero

[Dpperk29]

The Team this year seems to have alot of Players who play day in, day out solid as a rock. they just do there job, without the recognition that they truely deserve. Everyone hears about Moulson's goals, Mckee's shutouts, and Iggulden's shorthanded miracles.

who is the teams unsung hero? there are alot of them. My Vote goes to Daniel Pegoraro. Pegs works hard every night, plays with confidence and presence in all three zones. He may not score alot of goals, but he gets a fair number of assists.

what does everyone think?

Pegoraro is a good choice, but I would give that title to Jeremy Downs.  We're gonna miss him next year.

Without hesitation, I choose Chris Abbott.  He takes a less offensive role to play his role and does it in outstanding fashion every night.  Takes a ton of defensive zone faceoffs and works his ass off every shift.  He plays minutes against offensive lines and shuts them down and kills penalties.  Pegoraro and Downs would also be considerations, but I definitely go with Abbott.

I was just thinking this weekend how valuable Pegs really is.  He was crappy last year for sure, but he has improved his game significantly and is probably the overall most improved from last season.

After the drunken Clarkson student section started ripping into him last night, I tried to pay more attention to his play to see if what they said was merited.  He lacks finish and makes more than a few noticable bad plays, especially in the defensive end last night.  I do think he deserves to be in the lineup more than the usual scratches, though.

[Dpperk29]

well, I can't speak for what happened last night because I wasn't there. But I think he is a good player. Abbot, and Downs are both worthy mentions too.

what about mike knopfli thats who i would give my vote to.

[Trotsky]

I'm guessing it aint Davenport.

[Dpperk29]

I am with you on that one. I would even go as far as to say that Chabot is more valuable than Davenport.

Do we know for a fact that there won't be another goalie recruited for next year?

[Trotsky]

How about Varteressian?  Seems to always work hard, makes some clutch plays, has a very tough job, and he's hardly "sung."

No, they have been looking for a goalie for next year and almost got one, but he committed elsewhere.  I'd imagine they're still looking.
