A Player Per Day: No. 37: Matt Ellis

[Eleven]

An important distinction: this is Matt Ellis, and not Milt Ellis.

[rbochan]

Works hard, is a beast along the boards, and comes cheap.

[carpandean]

Does his job. Period. Lots of heart, but not a ton of skill. Would be fine if he's a 12/13 forward again, but I wouldn't be torn up if they went another way.

[bunomatic]

Ellis showed a lot more desire to win than any of the top 6 but he has to.Lots of heart and willingness to get in the dirty areas.I liked his game.It is what it is.And like the above poster said he does come cheap.

[thesportsbuff]

along with Grier, a 5.

[PASabreFan]

This kid really excited me in the playoffs. Nobody, nobody, circles the wagons like Matt Ennis.

[TheChimp]

If we don't keep him, the Habs will pick him up, like Darche, and make him a starter and he'll win a Cup, while Derek Roy and his minions grab each others' ###### in a bar somewhere warm.

If I was on the team, I would try hard too. Does that make me a 5? :lol:

 

He is JAG.

[korab rules]

Get him off my team - tries hard, but is slow and has no skill at all. His game slipped as the season went on. His game has peaked, and is on the way down. I would rather watch someone with the potential to get better make a few mistakes then freaking Matt Ellis waste space on the ice. You think this team is boring? Guys like Matt Ellis are why. Not enough skill or speed to do anything but make the safe play.

 

Oh, and he has no edge to his game. Can't remember a big hit all season long. He's a big slow, soft, sloppy pu$$y.

[Mbossy]

I'd take McCormick over Ellis over Mair.

whats jag? and i do recall him scoring a goal in the playoffs, and he works hard in the corners, i think you guys are underrateing him a little bit. im not saying hes great, but the sabres could do alot worse.

[carpandean]

whats jag?

If I remember correctly, it's just another guy (maybe just an average guy?)

You had it right the first time...Just Another Guy
