is strictly a stay-at-home defenseman,

A Garnet Exelby clone more like

- AdamFrench

Sorry Frenchie, you are wrong, you have not watched him play have you?

He does make big hits but they are toward the side and not up the middle of the ice, so he doesn't get caught out of position going for the hit much at all, he does not let players get by him.

Will he make it, who knows but Exelby is not a good comparison at all.

As for Percy, I don't think Mike has it right at all. He thinks the game and is methodical in the way he plays it. Does everything well but not great, it is called an all around Defensemen, it is what most teams like to have on the blue line, steady.

but that was his specific question though. Kessel doesn't want the limelight though.

And this is why I like Phil. he's a no-bullpoop kinda guy, just a quiet twenty-something dude who lives with a buddy and just so happens to be a mother(frank)ing god with the puck

No this tournament needs to unload the likes of Norway and Switzerland ASAP. Underdog stories are cute but we need some good hockey at some point.

That would be bad! Don't know about rest of you, but I can't wait for the NHL to resume, just not into these Oly's for some reason?

Lost in all of this is that the Slovenia's are (frank)ing heart and soul man. HEART AND SOUL.

Even Denis Rodman's illegitimate son David made the team

Remember when UG said Dido was going to come back to haunt us in that terrible trade for Versteeg?? He scored like 3 goals in 2 years of AHL then dropped to the ECHL and now he's in Italy.

Stefanovich isin the VHL whatever that is.

you could prolly have a decent game of "Where are they now?" using the prospects UG was high on.
