Injuries, Ruff and the NHL has taken away any positives he has. The only thing he can do is play on the PK. It was good run, Pat. You'll be a star in the local beer league.

Re: Kaleta is done...
I agree. He cannot check anyone without taking a penalty. His charging penalty yesterday is total BS. It was a clean hit. -
Re: Kaleta is done...
He played well over the weekend but was brutal against the Leafs last night. The 2nd goal happened because he had two turnovers on the same shift.Comment

Except he has stopped running around like a missile so much. He tries to pick his spots better - which will reduce his propensity to be injured.Originally posted by TheGhostofJimKelly
I agree about him being a marked man, though - the officials know who he is, when he's out on the ice, and are just waiting to blow the whistle on him.Last edited by DMBcrew36; 01-12-2012, 05:40 AM.Comment

Re: Kaleta is done...
Seemed like a bit of a charge to me.Comment

Re: Kaleta is done...
don't you have to leave your feet for it to be a charge?Comment

Re: Kaleta is done...
technically, yes. That's the rule.Originally posted by pcnorth22
Realistically, it doesn't happen like that. Players leave their feet all the time without getting called, and players (particularly players named Kaleta) get called for charges when they don't leave their feet.
And once again, it all comes back to the fact that there are only 3 certainties in life: death, taxes, and Buffalo sports teams getting screwed by any rules that give the refs discretion.Comment
