Come on Bogey........

You know that Scuds is not really the cross checking / punch to the back / throw your a$$ to the ground guy that Greene and Mitchell are. Scuds does a fine job of covering in front of the net, but he does not make the forwards "pay" the same price that Greene / Mitchell would. This is something that is missing from the Kings lineup. Something that DD44 should be, but is not providing.

We all know that Scuderi has taken quite a few for the team at this point, but what I think symbology is saying (correct me if i'm wrong) is that Scuds doesn't really throw those big, punishing hits.

Ellerby is first cousins with Shane Doan, captain of the Phoenix Coyotes, and second cousin to Carey Price, goaltender of the Montreal Canadiens.

Yeah, kind of. Scuds does a great job of defending and does not shy away from the physical contact. However, he does not go out of his way to be physical like Greene and Mitchell. That is why the Kings D has looked soft on the back end (IMO).

Scuderi is a punishment absorber, he's not a disher-outer, a la Greene. The Kings are missing that sandpaper on the back end without Greene. Ellerby presumably adds an element of grit.

He should wear #44

**Nyssa42** · February 8th, 2013, 09:42 AM

Don't know anything about him, but he has a cool name! (Don't have time to follow the E coast teams too much)

**KINGS17** · February 8th, 2013, 09:56 AM

I say give him #4.

I've been reading the same thing. Some Ducks fans are pissed they didn't get him instead of Lovejoy. Seems as if DL pulled another Westgarth type of steal. Basically he traded Lokti for KE. Nice work..
