A good example of what he can bring to the table was a shift he had last night. I don't remember who he was out there with, but it wasn't a Gaustad, Mair or Peter's type player. There was a dump in and he just went balls to the wall in there after it. He drew a penalty on the play that led to the Sekera (Vanek?) goal. That's what we lack so much in these game where we look awful...a forecheck. Kaleta can be really strong behind the net.
Nothing pisses me off more then when one of Gaustad, Paille or Kaleta goes in to aggresively pursue the puck and then no one follows their lead. You have to come in waves to be successful on the forecheck. I think these three guys understand this more then anyone else on our team, so i hope they can set the tone.
