It's not a secret that I wasn't sold on Andreas Engqvist being the Habs 4th line center. Which is why I was a happy camper yesterday when I found out that the Montreal Canadiens had acquired Blair Betts off of waivers from the Philadelphia. Not to be overly critical of Engqvist but in my opinion, a 4th line (also known as your 'energy line') should exhibit just that, energy! I'm not sure why it appeared so but from my impressions it just seemed as though Andreas lacked intensity. Was it because this was preseason or did he somehow figure that with the injuries at camp that he would be a lock for the job? I really don't know, but in either case those are unacceptable excuses for a rookie/prospect trying to earn his way into the NHL. You can allow for some of that type of attitude from a well established veteran but not from someone in Engqvist's position.
