commentary...

Niklas Kronwall,of the Red Wings,reminds me of former Los Angeles Kings' player Rob Blake,in the way that he hits players... Blake used to hit players(cleanly)backing up,with his backside,and do it in a way that would simply devastate the player,in putting players,on the ice,or on the bench,for a few minutes... to get Kronwalled means simply to be crunched into a mass of player,who may be groggy,and disoriented,for a few minutes... to see tape of Blake reminds me of a truly great player,and i can see Kronwall being that great,but Blake had a better scoring touch(Kronwall is young,in that case)... Blake also played for the San Jose Sharks,and the Colorado Avalanche,where he won a Stanley Cup,in 2001... Blake was also on Kings' team that went to Stanley Cup Finals,and losing to Montreal Canadiens,in five games,in 1992-1993... only to wish that Kronwall to have a long career,in the Winged Wheel...
