I like Foligno a lot, but their is something wrong. Whether he’s hurt, age, or how he’s trying to play. You have to have production out of his spot and he’s not giving much. Steel has been a scratch and is out producing him. If he isn’t going to just hammer other teams into turnovers like his line did last year, he’s easily replaceable.
I look at his line last year, and I can’t help but think how good Ek is. He can muck it up with the best of them, then show some real skill like last night. Wonder what Ek would like like now offensively if he would have come up with a different team that didn’t play him so defensively.
Maybe it’s the fact that Greenway is gone because he wasn’t producing. Sundqvist is a replacement that Foligno can play with, but now they don’t have an Ek to play with them.
Whatever it is, right now he is struggling. The one thing he has going is he’s a good locker room guy, but is it enough come playoff time?
