who do you think are the best hitters in the IR?

Kyle Klinendorse- Grand Rapids

Here we go again. OK, he can hit, but there's so much more to the game - some of which he's missing.

like what i have seen him play he can skate he can pass he has a good shot sure he isnt gonna go anywhere great like his dad did but he is good enough to get mentioned he frightens forwards and they will question putting their head down. He does more for his team then people give him credit for

jake nelson from virginia can lay down some hits i hear....

I've said, he's a good player, he's just not the only one. He leaves his D-partner high and dry alot and how many chances are given to the other team because of those odd man rushes he creates.
I'd take a defenseman that plays good DEFENSIVELY any day over someone who can hit good, shoot good, and usually just tries to move the puck himself.

I'm going to be real here...He doesn't pass well, or catch passes very well...And he shoots into shin pads well too often.

I'm going to agree here, and throw out that he isn't even the best defenseman on his team.

Thank you Bob

agreed both Bob and Hockeyfan. Selfishness gets you nowhere and it would be nice if the kid played for his team rather than himself. There's a lot of guys out there who can blow people up, but choose the right times to do that rather than every shift. Some defenseman go games without huge hits, but come out high on the plus minus end by just rubbing guys out and staying with the play. There's a thing called teamwork and for whatever reason, that kid thinks it's all about him. One wonders how things will be for him once his dad isn't coaching him anymore.

i thought this was the best hitters in the IR. he is a good hitter. thats what i wrote on him about. it wasnt at all about if he is good mentally and if he leavs his d open or shoots into shin pads alot its about who can hit and he is defintelly up their

he is hits very hard and although he sometimes leaves his d partner alone he can make up for it with his speed. He has a few things to work on but if u want to talk about passing and catching passes he seldom makes the wrong play

yeah he has some power when he hits someone

he does make good passes and he catches passes.. i think he is all around a good hockey player. rips people puts the puck in the net and sets up plays.

I thought there was a list here...why are some comments just picking on these athletes?? Good Luck and play it clean

I agree he has the potential, and has the drive to do it. just like his dad.
