And the Michalek delusion continues

Two of his goals were a result of Bobby Ryan battling hard. And his other goal was off a D-mans stick on a crappy Brodeur.

3 of his assists that I recall were second assists

Michalek does nothing "on his own pretty well"

I get your point but the fact is he put the puck in the net during those times, If condra/Greening/Neil and pretty much half the team had the same opportunity I really doubt they would have scored those goals. Maybe your expectations of michalek is too high, because I certainly dont expect him to drive his line, when I think of michalek I see a guy who can bring speed, be a big body around the boards and net and at the same time put in rebound goals.
