nice.. but its carlyle.. both mclaren and orr will be in there

and wait.. rielly? is what?
- Dozzer

Mclaren scratched eye?

Kess has the best wrist shot in the NHL, I believe.

while kessels is top teir... OV has the best snapper

- Dozzer

I think he might sit this one, scratched eye and Nucks dont have too many tough guys

I hope he can keep his injury issues behind him. Shame if he gets hurt again.
- bixll

I hope so too. Best player since Lemieux IMO

Who do they say is the best?
- bixll

mcdavid.... doing things crosby only wishes he could do... he has already been annointed the nhl's best player by sportsnet

yeah i bet that 4 mins a game vs other teams 4th lines just scares the hell out of the ppg players on the other teams...
- big_dion

go read burkes recent article on fighting....then return with a stronger argument, because this one is extremely weak.

I feel so safe when Rielly has the puck on his stick in our own end
- peddy-93

Same. I don't know how many times franson would pass him the puck with someone right on him and he just makes a cool play. He always seems to know where to pass or when to skate it in.

lots of interesting stuff here.

Sure you don't want to put Reimer on wing too?
- Big_Lightnin

That's just silly. But someone needs to be called up.

while kessels is top teir... OV has the best snapper
- Cherry--Skoal

I don't understand why Kessel doesn't take more slappers/one timers? A la Ovi, Stamkos.

Is that not way too much pressure to be putting on this kid? They should just let him play. It will be interesting to see him at the world Jr.

He already knows what he's going to do with the puck before he even gets it. Smart, smart player.

- Barx

He wont get it..some people only have 1 gear

no, he really isn't. And given the minutes they are currently getting, Carlyle agrees.
- Big_Lightnin

ashton is just a plug...filling a hole until kulimen returns.
orr will still be dressed.
then we can have the argument about who carlyle feels is more important to his club.

I hope so too. Best player since Lemieux IMO
- peddy-93

I agree, by a long way.

I don't understand why Kessel doesn't take more slappers/one timers? A la Ovi, Stamkos.
- peddy-93

not his game...he uses intermediate stick.. it would snap like a twig. some guys cant take slap shots well.. kess is one of them

while kessels is top teir... OV has the best snapper
- Cherry--Skoal

i don't know... you may laugh but i think that semin's is better than ov8's

i think those are the 3 best/hardest.
kessel
semin
ov8

- Cherry--Skoal

I don't agree, OV has a far longer windup, and uses his 1/2 clapper more.

That's just silly. But someone needs to be called up.
- Drapz

im confused with you.... im gonna give youoooo one of these for now

Is that not way too much pressure to be putting on this kid? They should just let him play. It will be interesting to see him at the world Jr.
- bixll

Well they do say he's the best prospect since Crosby. Better than Tavares, Stamkos etc.

I've seen him play many times, the kid is something else.

- peddy-93

Funny too because he won the Leafs hardest shot (with just over a 100mph?) shot

I don't agree, OV has a far longer windup, and uses his 1/2 clapper more.
- bixll

incorrect sir... whe he comes down the wing usually a top drag into a snap.


They are both lethal so who really cares, but OV does have a better shot...wish is why he has averaged a goal a game in his last 35+

Kess has the best wrist shot in the NHL, I believe.
- bixll

Maybe after Ovi

not his game...he uses intermediate stick.. it would snap like a twig. some guys cant take slap shots well.. kess is one of them
- Cherry--Skoal

man, I was excited about Connor Brown until I openned his hockeydb profile.


Kid's a ginger.

i don't know... you may laugh but i think that semin's is better than ov8's

i think those are the 3 best/hardest.
kessel
semin
ov8
- Rockhead_37

semin can also fire the puck. no laughing there
