WWE and 'educated' should never be used in the same sentence from this day forth.
In other news, Glucky still has his norris ballot for schenn at the ready

funny thing.. what schenn was projected to be (not what he is now) is exactly the type of d-man the leafs need.

he needs to stop pressuring the play.. back off and let it come to him.. like gill does. he simply does not have the wheels to be any other kind of player.

but if he backed off and just played solid boring stay at home D.. i think he'd be fine.

I believe we have a couple of these on our backend already.

Know need for another

- Garnie

That's why I've been so impressed with Rielly, he was always known to have a high hockey IQ, but now seeing it in the NHL, it's very impressive.

Can't trade an injured player. And no Luke sucks, Fraser will be back soon.

Ok Gluck... We'll see who's right... How about moving Gardiner up to center, and we'll put Reimer on defense.. wait no! Bernier is better at playing the puck so lets put him on defense instead.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

How exactly will we see who's right?


I said it could work... Not that they will do it. Unless they actually do it(which means the coach thinks it'll work after seeing it in practice, if he decides to give it a try in practice), we'll have no way of knowing if it will work or not.

Just spitballing to get some discussion, no reason to get your panties in a knot.

Makes me all giddy inside

But having Dion make 6.5+ as our soon to be #2 doesn't.

Hey, give Schenn a good skating coach, and play him on a trap team, and he'll shine. He will always suck in run-and-gun hockey, though.

Dreger was reporting that there was a flyers source who was musing that Schenn might not even be a NHL calibre d-man anymore

Mirtle said they said the same thing about JVR

- Dozzer

Mirtle is a fool.
No one ever said in Philly or otherwise that JVR wasnt an NHL caliber player.

Schenn...well....Ive been saying for years he was a waste of 1st round pick.
Bailey, Wilson or Hodgson would have been handy to have on the team.

But c'est la vie!

Dion will still be our #1, Rielly is still a long ways away from a #1. Having Dion and Rielly as partners in the future will help Rielly immensly I believe.

so basically, teach schenn how to play hockey and he will be a good hockey player.

Yes Burke was able to rob Philly blind with that trade.
That is pretty much the only good thing about Luke schenn.

I guess outside of the fact that he is a nice kid.

No...A) it would much more to get Nug...Edmonton would never do that trade.
B) the leafs cant afford that trade.
C) Having two quality goalies..is a good thing

How many Habs fans thought Subban would be their best defenceman after two years? Most probably assumed Markov would be. It's a young mans game, and Phaneuf doesnt have much other than size and experience over Rielly. I don't think it'll happen overnight, but give it a couple years and Rielly will be our #1

No... Put Schenn in a system that matches his attributes, and work on his skating.
