Does it teach "Edmontonian Full Potato" as its main language?
I know thats the language you use, but I'm not familiar with it. Sorry, I'm only fluent in English. Give it a try next time so we can take you seriously!

- Big_Lightnin

Did Lucic at least get a penalty?

Kadri has the 2nd line center spot on lockdown. He has good chemistry with Lupul, not enough experience to play top line center and not good enough defensively to play 3rd line center.

So you think he'd be more effective defensively with a more offensive centre??
- Johannes19


with a better center wouldn't his overall game improve? I didn't say anything about player types.

I'm pretty sure there's a stat out there you could look up to answer this.
- Leeman4Gilmour

Fraser 102 blocks, Dion 91

last year Dion had more blocks than Schenn

Tweener? The guy is 22 and played his first full season as a top 6 center in the league. He needs more time to develop before he can jump up.

kinda like no one else in the league does either.

WTF are you talking about?

- Big_Lightnin

Toews will get there Kessel isn't expected to be like Toews though.. And thats why I Letang has more value than Kessel overall, because his all around game is to a higher standard. If it was between Toews and Letang, I'd pick Toews. This is all getting pretty blurred now..

Your proving his point. Fraser played way less mins then Phaneuf and still got more blocks.

Literally not one person in hockey believes Franson is a better defender than Phaneuf except for knee-jerk fans who didn't understand the difference between 1st and 3rd pairing defensemen.

It's a lot easier to play defense against Joe Nobody on the opponent's bottom six than Sidney Crosby.

Does anybody remember that Rangers game when Franson and Fraser got chewed up by Rick Nash until Carlyle went with the Phaneuf match-up?

Well, that's true, only if you're a delusional Leaf's fan. If we polled all non-Leaf & non-Oiler fans, I can assure you the majority would happily take our roster over yours.
- Sammy Van Hagar


I team needs balance and depth to win a cup. Not a top six full of skinny teenagers and no defense

not to many players in the league I wouldn't take Toews over. In fact there's only 2, and they both play on the same (frank)ing team

Okay okay. But if Kessel were to line up with say, Stastny, I don't think his overall game would be better than it was with Bozak. Offensively, sure, but not overall. Only time will tell! Not hating on Kessel, he's a great goal scoring talent!

- Leeman4Gilmour


So your going to use one game as a arguement for Phaneuf>Franson? How about the fact Boston's first line made Phaneuf look like a peewee defenceman and Bostons 2nd line was no where to be seen?

Schenn 102 blocked shots, Phaneuf 91 blocked shots.
Schenn less then 22mins average ice time, Phaneuf over 25minutes.
