Prompt Two

Inge Baardsen could very well be said to be made for playoff hockey. Everyone knows the game gets even more physical in the playoffs, and who better to have on your team than the overwhelming Hits leader from the regular season? Baardsen is not a big, hulking enforcer, he is just a very enthusiastic forechecker, and backchecker. Just everything checker. He is not afraid to throw his weight around with players much bigger than himself, and it got him into a couple of fights (should probably work on that fighting….). He’s combative, abrasive, but he is not a goon, he can really play hockey! He has great hands on the stick and a superb eye for a pass. He can also score enough to be a viable threat. His specialty seems to be forechecking hard and dispossessing opposing players in their own zone and scoring unassisted, has happened a few times this season. If he can keep that up, then who knows how far Regina can go?
