Preaching to the quire. Q is stubborn. Not to mention Kopecky has always held Hossa Jock. They do everything on the road together so I only assume that works for in Chicago too.
And the way Hossa is playing if that keeps him Happy, please DON'T **** with it!!![/quote]
Yeah but come on man, Hossa is a professional. If he sees that as some kind of personal slight, well then I guess he isn't as much a pro as I thought he was to get upset over something silly like that. It's time to see what guys like Skille can do. His place isn't the fourth line. It's obvious watching him. It wouldn't be demoting Kopecky as much as it would be putting in a situation where he is more likely to help the team. I like him in that grinder role, that's where he excels, that's where he can really help make up for loss of players like Ladd, being that defensive, back checking forward that will battle in the corners. First line/second line is as much a waste of a position spot to Kopecky as Skille is to the fourth line.
