Comments on: Mike Knuble doesn’t sulk about playing time, he gets angry http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/06/mike-knuble-doesnt-sulk-about-playing-time-he-gets-angry/ ProHockeyTalk on NBCSports.com Sat, 25 May 2013 07:42:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: chizrocker88 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/06/mike-knuble-doesnt-sulk-about-playing-time-he-gets-angry/comment-page-1/#comment-27849 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 19:11:56 +0000 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=62952#comment-27849 The problem isn’t Knuble’s age, it’s our offensive mentality. Over the past few seasons we’ve stopped crashing the net and as soon as we stopped doing that Knuble’s offensive productivity has greatly declined. The goals he has scored this season were from crashing the net. If we went back to that (which I definitely think we need to) Knuble’s stock would rise again.

Hamrlik really does look his age, I’d disagree with Knuble though.

He just can’t get those scrappy garbage goals nearly as much anymore. The worst decline is the fighting in the corner on dump ins. He is losing those battles to younger defensemen regularly. 39 is still 39. Knuble and Hamerlik (38) look there age. The Caps realized it with Kolzig, Federov, even Bondra. They will realize it here. Dont be surprised if both are traded.
