I can't believe that I agree with someone named pwner, but I do. Grier is a plodding, consistant, "worker bee". He may suck at stick handling and be a bit slow, but he gets open for breakaways a lot, and creates chances for others by forechecking and just being "in the way". He is willing to take the beatings in front of the net and seems to be able to tip shots on goal awful well. In short, he represents everything that makes this team good.
Fitzpatrick just doesn't do a thing for me. Every time I see him out on the ice, I cringe. That would make him the ONLY player on this team that makes me feel that way (since Peters being out there may at least mean a good fight). Either Kalinin needs to get healthy, (and back to playing well,) or we need another blueliner.
