Own the faceoff circle and control the game. The Isles are 3rd in the league in FO% with 55.6%. The addition of Konopka has been a terrific one for the Isles, not only in his willingness to standup for his teammates, but his faceoff ability. Last night he won 75% of his defensive zone face offs and is 3rd in the league with a 65.4% success rate. This has been missing from the Isles for some time and it's nice to know we can win the all important faceoff late in the game when needed.

Agreed. It was one reason why I missed Mike Sillinger for so long! |

Konopka has been a pleasant surprise for the reasons you state. Great on the draw and toughness. A very nice addition to the squad, for sure. And eventually they will see that Gilles is expendable and should be sent down, opening the door for Martin. |
