SCF “Unknowns” Taking Spotlight

From Doug Harrison at CBC:
At the start of this year’s Stanley Cup playoffs, NHL fans in Detroit and Pittsburgh probably could have predicted with confidence that Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin would be at, or near, the top of the scoring race and Nicklas Lidstrom would lead all defencemen in points.
Further from the thoughts of the most ardent fans were the names of Detroit rookie forwards Justin Abdelkader and Ville Leino, along with Pittsburgh defenceman Mark Eaton and forward Craig Adams.
But each contributed on the scoresheet, on special teams, in the faceoff circle or simply with their presence to help the Red Wings and Penguins advance to the NHL championship final for the second consecutive season.

Penguins Depend On Eaton

from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,
“If I can chip one in every once in a while, that’s great, but that’s not my role” said Eaton, who has 16 goals in 348 regular-season and 23 playoff games with Philadelphia, Nashville and the Penguins.
“There’s no mystery what my role is. I’ve got to be solid defensively, good in my own end, block shots.”
That, and not any offensive prowess, on the power play or otherwise, is why the Penguins signed him as a free agent in July 2006.
It’s what the Penguins got from him last season, just not enough of it.
more and Empty Netters shows just how valuable Eaton is…
