Logic???? Hahahhaha so (frank)ing stupid you don't even know what the (frank) you're talking about, 30 points? He had 48 in 34 games genius, 10 points up on 3rd in team scoring, nice logic you can't even check facts before you post.... Way to look smart

Yandle has done it in the NHL ... produced. 48 points in 34 AHL games pales in comparison to Yandle's feats thus far. Let me know when the next coming of Bobby Orr gets two all-star honors and then we can talk. For now, AHL player of the week one time doesn't count.

It did not take Schultz six years to make the NHL. It took the duration of the lockout. He decided to finish his education; staying at Wisconsin until he graduated.

who said it took six years, i said until the age of 22....he was drafted when he was 18

Yes, sorry, I edited my post.

What I was trying to say was that his draft age and current age did not have anything to do with his ability or inability to make the NHL. He was drafted as a college player, and this particular college player decided to finish his education before he even tried to enter the NHL.

Okay now quick: fight the reasonable urge to treat us as a loose collective people with different ideas and opinions who happen to cheer for the same team.

going off your rocker again....did mommy forget to give you your meds this morning.

sorry that i didn't double check meaningless stats like AHL points.....you know, cuz they're meaningless. corey locke led the AHL in scoring 2 years ago....ever hear of him.....that's right, cuz who gives crap about points in the AHL, playing mostly against players who aren't good enough for the NHL.

he definitely shouldn't lump that clown in with most oiler fans, but you have to admit that he doesnt' exactly do oiler nation any favours. it's unfortunate, but insane fans ruin it for everyone......like the nucks fans who think they'll get a ranson for luongo, or the leafs fans who think toronto wasn't fleeced in the kessel trade. there aren't many of htem, but they make everyone else look bad.

I know it's blasphemy to say a rookie is better offensively than a current NHLer on this site, just remember me when what I've said has come true

Talk all you want because I made a bold prediction, maybe go back and read the last blog where you ignored what I said. Schultz is a better offensive damn than Yandle, don't really care what you think

he didn't finish his education though. i don't doubt that had he signed with the ducks he would have been in the NHL before now, but it's not like this kid was some high touted 1st rd pick. he likely wouldn't have been in the NHL until he was 20 or 21 either way. he might have been, but who knows.

fine........silfverberg is a better offensive winger then eberle. i dont' care that it's ludicrous, and i have NOTHING to back up my statement. that's what i believe, and anyone who says anything else is just an idiot.

it's the A H L. most d-men worth a damn aren't playing there when they're 22, they're in the NHL. like i said, corey locke lead the AHL in scoring, and is completely unable to crack an nhl lineup. who gives a poop what people do in the AHL.

Yeah, I agree. I just don't like when the catalyst for bashing oilers fans comes from something Clouts (or in this case, Ek) has said.

I mean, if you take Ek on his word, Paajarvi sounds like a dipsy-doodling 'perimeter player' that has the same skill-set as any of other players except - evident from the score sheet - he isn't as good. The fact of the matter is for many months he's re-molded himself as a more dedicated defensive player and has more of a grinder mentality than a lot of those guys, and his problem is scoring. When oilers fans try to defend him then, we look like homers based on Eklund's mischaracterization that we can't do anything about. Is he disappointing to date for a 10th overall? sure is. But we're only just seeing some real make-good on Gagner's potential 6 years after he was drafted and in the mean time MPS is good enough to play on our 3rd and 4th lines, with few Oilers fans arguing that he's better than that at the moment.

You are correct. I was mistaken about finishing his education.

Yes, Schultz is better offensively than Theo Peckham. There, I said it.

Dude, we are six freaking games into the season and you are running your yap with a rookie versus a back to back ALL-STAR. Yandle is an all-star for a reason and its not only his offensive skills. When Schultz hones his craft and plays like Yandle, then have at it. Until then ...

Bringing up points in the AHL isn't good ammo. Who cares? Who is the all-time AHL leading scorer? I'm sure you don't know.

but calling people (frank)ing idiots because they think your prediction is a little crazy makes you look like the idiot. i'm not the one who went off my rocker and started dropping f-bombs at you.

i agree with you, i also think PRV is bashed a little too much. my earlier post wasn't meant to bash his overall game, but simply pointing out the fact that due to his lack of performance early in the year, it makes the decision to send him down a little easier. that being said, i was unaware of the horcoff situation, and needign a center.

i'd take PRV on my team anyday. i dont' think his value in a trade is what it used to be, which is where i think people get frustrated with clouts, who still thinks PRV could land a top pairing d-man.
