Why Lindy Ruff Called Christian Ehrhoff "A Shooter"

How much do you know about Christian Ehrhoff?

If you're like me, not a whole helluva lot.

Yahoo's Puck Daddy Headlines guided me to a website--Pass it to Bulis--that gathered together videos of all 14 Ehrhoff goals this season (complete with little captions.)

On this particular one, #7, the caption reads:

"Ehrhoff may have chosen Buffalo because of the way he loves to roam. Here’s another example: he begins this play down along the wall, before drifting back to the point. Then, after Ryan Kesler backs the Washington powerplay way off, Ehrhoff drifts back to the blueline, then steps way in and wires the puck from the top of the left circle."





In a July 1 appearance on WGR's Howard Simon Show, Ruff laid out exactly what the team saw in Ehrhoff, "if you look at Ehrhoff's game it fits the pace of the game we play.  We are in the top five in goal scoring (for defenseman).  Ehrhoff's game is similar to how we like to activate our D...His shot is one of the best in the league.  I don't think he is in the quarterback category (for the power play).  He is a shooter." 

Thanx to Pass it to Bulis for compiling the video's and to Yahoo's Puck Daddy for the link.

Have fun.
