I think that Ribs can still do the job if he (sigh!) skates, my bias towards him is the fact that he has made me look stupid while playing against him. that being sayed: TRUE DAT when everybody who sayz: Plekanec deserves the 2nd line center job, TRUE DAT when it is sayed: the other teams don't really think about stopping the second year player, but if BG can get Shanny (wishfully hoping) does anyone think he may still have a spot on the 1st/2nd line since Koivu seems to be playing hurt or hurt half the season???
I'm just saying that Koivu may be better off for the next season anyway to play the 3rd line, we still don't know about his eye anyway.
