Unfriendly Ghost
Kasper
He's been really good lately. He's not amazing defensively, but he's also not getting turned inside out. The crazy thing in my opinion is the raw amount of chances he gets every game, which is up there with Datsyuk and Zetterberg on some nights. I think the incredible thing is that he isn't getting those chances because he's strong or a great skater (although he is pretty decent) or a great stickhandler (but still okay); he gets those chances pretty much out of hockey sense alone (well, and hard work too). The kicker is he's not being carried by good linemates. In fact, he tends to be the guy who stirs the drink on his line.
Now, we need to have a talk about finishing the ridiculous amounts of quality chances he gets. He's Filppula-esque in that sense right now, but I think he's been significantly better than Filppula offensively when they've both been in the lineup.
I suppose now somebody has to go and post that Nyquist has been awful and should still be in the AHL...
