Nagging knee injury...explains a lot.

We have a guy named Rob Niedermayer on our team?

First I find out we have a "Connolly", now we have a Niedermayer? Do they have Harry Potter's cloak of invisibility or something?

Everyone knows about Connolly, it's the guy who always turns over the puck, but this Rob Niedermayer guy? I haven't seen him all year then.

Hrmm, tough to believe considering I notice him more than I notice other players on this roster. He may not be adding a ton of points, but he's not letting up a lot either. He's been pretty solid all the way around, minus scoring goals. But he's not the type of player to score goals, so I really don't understand people's complaints.

Honestly, he's not useless to me at all, he is a great energy line guy and I've noticed his line doing some excellent play in the zone and on the defensive side of things.

He was a fine pickup for us. And I hope he gets better quick.

rob's a defensive forward. he's playing his game just fine. hope he's not out too long.

I think he's been better as of late. Starting the season he got a ton of chances and didn't put any of them away. Then he seemed to disappear for a long stretch of games. and now he's started to play solid again. I think people would like to have seen him bury at least one of the several excellent chances he's had, but I mostly agree with you.

Look at his career stats, hahahahaha. It's not like we expected him to put up 50 points! He's doing what we thought he would do. Hope he gets back soon and this injury doesn't bother him the rest of the way.

Oh I wasn't expecting anything HUGE out of him...but like a 10+10 season would be nice.

I keep forgetting he's on the team. lol

He's an all right player. Not a huge loss, but it would be nice to not have too many more guys out...

He's on pace for roughly 25 assists. even if he didn't net a goal, 25 points from a Rob Neidermayer is a great season.
