More Crawford on Ersberg
I asked Marc Crawford if he wanted Ersberg to use this stretch to make a case for himself for next season.
``I just want him to play well. I don’t’ want any excess pressure. We don’t want to lead anyone into believing it’s do or die for the young Erik Ersberg. He’s a good, young goaltender. He’s shown a nice ability to take a nice step this year. He took a step from the American League level getting used to North American hockey and how more many shots there are and how people will throw pucks at the net and play more of a direct attack as opposed to a controlled attack in Europe. He’s shown that adjustment and came here and practice hard. He’s been given an opportunity, and he’s really stepped forward. In talking with him, he thinks it’s easier to play here than in the American League, because what happens is logical. When I was young, I used to think life was so logical.''
