Kotalik Back on Point
Jim Cerny is reporting that Ales Kotalik, a healthy scratch for six in a row, is back on the point on the first powerplay unit. He will likely be back in the lineup tomorrow.
If I had to guess who he replaces, I’ll go with Brashear. Voros and Lisin have earned the right to stay in the lineup for at least another game.
On paper this is good because all you ever hear about is his slap shot and you see it every 4th game hit really hard. However, if it’s 10 feet wide of the netminder, it’s useless.
Pretty much like Kotalik’s first season on Broadway, useless.
