I've been using a longer stick for year and have never heard one complaint...

She's complaining

we want someone to play with him who makes him a #2
- Big_Lightnin

Agreed...

This seems to be the pattern with Jussi.......things went pretty sour for him in Tampa, in fact I remember he was put on waivers and we asked on here should we claim him. He bounced back for 30 goals. As far as I can tell, Bozak hasn't had the same low points that Mr. Jokinen has had......

Sorry Pecafan fan, still disagree with you. Anyways......

All I'm saying is Bozak's value is likely much lower than what you think.

- Leafland

I'm not sure that's a she...

The leafs d give it up cause they are very young.

I love one of Boston's break out plays they use ver often. Not sure why no one has caught on to it yet, but they like to have their Dman in the low corner with the puck. Then their centre starts full steam up the center of the ice, drawing the fore-checking centre with him for coverage. This seems to open up a clear path for a cross ice feed to a streaking winger on the far side of the ice.

They use if so often against the Leafs, kind of boggles my mind that they can continue to do a cross ice pass over and over and not have some pick it off, but they do.

He is on this team but that isn't saying much... we have a lot of 3rd to 5th Dmen...

Ya moving forward to be a real contender he can't be the number one guy. That stick wave - no foot movement on that 2nd goal last night was a massive illustration of this.

- Big_Lightnin

U want someone to make him have a #2....





NM...

Your a legend
- aminnes

(frank)ing right he is

Switiching to a longer stick now wuld be a disaster. St. Louis uses a longer stick but has been since he was 8 years old.
- aminnes

not really. some experiment with stick length all the time. As was mentioned earlier some use different lengths for PK and regular shift/PP.

Anyone with the name Bozak is always gonna struggle finding any value...

I have something to contradict this badly, but then I'd be defending Marty, and that would suck

I used to play with different lengths every shift.. depending on where the play was... it is just a stick... if we in the dzone I would use a longer stick.. in the offensive zone a shorter one...

PK always longer.. and then I had some medium sticks.. if we were in the middle...

I will never defend Marty, even if he walks on water...

I'm not expecting the world for him dude. But I think what Dominic Moore got twice is reasonable starting point.

Wasn't Mark McNeil as 2012 1st round pick? So, two 4ths, Hozler (AHL d-man) and MacA (2nd/3rd liner) = two 1st round picks and a top 4 d-man?
- mykokes

No, 2010 I believe, maybe 2011.
He was around a 20th pick to and Chicago is going to be WCF bound which means very late 1st.
Rozsival is gone at the end of the season. Think of him as a 'veteran' presence.
Holzer has 3 years at an easy cap hit and he can play 5-6 dman for Chicago - exactly what they want. MacA gives them another offensive option and will help turn that 1st round pick into a early 2nd round pick.
And that 2014 will turn into a 3rd rounder because Edmonton is starting to get their poop together and if not this year it will certainly be next year that they make the playoffs. A 2nd line rental winger, cheap 3 year 5-6 or better young defensive dman, 2013 4th and a 2014 3rd
For..
A late 1st rounder, a potential top 9 center and a rental veteran defensemen.

All I'm saying is Bozak's value is likely much lower than what you think.
- Pecafan Fan

...but it isn't anywhere near as low as what you are implying.

What was it? a 2nd round pick?

Pfft, go for it. I've got a thick skin, I can take it

Are we talking shaft or blade?

Is that David Spade?

not really. some experiment with stick length all the time. As was mentioned earlier some use different lengths for PK and regular shift/PP.
- Big_Lightnin

Bozaks stick length is fine, I'd like to post the clip of Bozaks shorthanded breakaway goal but I can't be bothered.

Shaft.. yes... blades were always the same...
