Do you not think they practice it????? cmon and give the man some credit. That is the forwards duty, to fall back and cover the point. It has been since peewee hockey. His only blemish is his d-zone coverage. always has been and once he has that licked(he is getting much better) Can you say Norris? Anyone? And yeah, It is a back to back game sooooo. kipper likely wont be starting.

Ummmm..NOPE, I actually enjoy the fact that our D-men play D. I still have no idea how he was considered for the Norris last year. I guess the selection committee was only watching the highlight reels and saw some hits and some goals on the PP. They obviously didn't see the terrible play in his own end.
Lets see, they overlooked Campbell, Gonchar, Rafalski (who was +27), Schneider, etc.
I'm not saying he'll never win the Norris, but he's got to get a lot better in his own end. (and Lidstrom has to retire)
