Peaches Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 After reading some hate on Malhotra today i decided to make a thread on appreciating what Malhotra does for this team. Here are some: - Wins faceoffs (always top 5 in league) - leader - does great things with charities - 7G, 9A as a 4TH LINER and most importantly.... He's in my sig He doesn't do anything wrong so i dont know what the hate is about He's a bit overpaid. That's it. One bad season and everyone wants him gone. Happy Posting CH9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPRYP Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I agree. He's a character guy. I know he can do better and that's why there's all these hate and expectations. He will break out this year I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I don't think the people posting the hate on Malhotra will care about this thread. The people who know better understand he does play a very specific role for us - and does it well. He could do better, but we have no idea how much of that is related to his eye or if he's just not as good as he used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I really hope he can get back close to where he was before the injury. I know at the level I played I was scared coming back when I badly broke both legs. These days broken legs and dislocated shoulders are no excuse at the NHL level. However, his inury is something very rare and could easily affect your play. I really hope he comes back full of confidence and stronger than ever.

Anti-Bettman Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 One of my favourite goals from last season. What a champ! Really hope he does well this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beluga Whale Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 He may not be the same player he used to be, but he's still a great leader and valuable to this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Manny doesn't have the potential to be a solid 3rd line checking center anymore but as you said he is a great leader and great guy for that matter.... he deserves a spot at LW on the 4th line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollieo Del Fuego Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 He was in the running for the Seilke two years ago before the eye injury. He is only 32! Last year was finding his way back into the lineup, this year he just may be our best option for second line center until Kesler get's back. It all depends on if he can get used to dealing with the limited vision and presumably depth perception. I am pulling for him that's for sure.

Canuck Surfer Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Haters should try and find a 220 lb centre who can go toe to toe with Joe Thornton and come out with puck possession more often than not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm a fan of Malhotra. A lot of people don't understand how rare it is to be handed a letter your first year on a new team when you aren't a star, especially on a veteran team; this speaks volumes of his leadership. I think he'll adjust better to his vision issues next season and have a solid season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
