RW Eric Godard

Say hello to the new enforcer for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Eric Godard. Shero signed Godard to replace old enforcer, Georges Laraque. Expect Godard to not play many minutes but when a player is targeting Crosby or Malkin, he’ll be on the ice for sure to protect them. Since he has an intimidating size of 6′4″ and over 200 pounds, he uses it to hit and fight people (and he usually wins). If he can improve his skating ability and play more regular shifts for the Penguins, he’ll be a very nice replacement for Laraque.
