Rory Boylen at The Hockey News gives his list of top players who do not get the proper recognition, including Dan Girardi...Dan Girardi
Played five seasons in the Ontario League, bouncing around to three different teams, and actually started his pro career in the ECHL. But now? Girardi is one of the most unheralded defensemen in the game.
He’s fourth on the Rangers in points, fifth in ice time and plays on both the power play and penalty kill. But Girardi is still not one of those familiar names that come to mind when you’re asked to name Rangers defensemen. This guy makes some great plays and is an up-and-comer to keep a close eye on.
...even with Girardi's great start to the season he's still left off the All-Star ballot while Wade Redden is on. Amazing.
Speaking of not getting proper recognition, Brian Monzo at the SNY Rangers Blog thinks the Rangers need to lock up Blair Betts who is an UFA at the end of the season.
