It could very well be in the realm of possibility.

hes gonna have to work on his slap shot. It's weaker than kaberle's at this point.

Kaberle had a great shot, he just rarely used it. But nobody is going to score 15 goals or more from the blueline with a weak shot unless you do it Bobby Orr style and deke everybody out and tap it in.

Orr was a forward playing defense.

Just like Paul Coffey? I can't remember how to spell it.

I want to see a coach in the NHL who has young, talented defencemen just say (frank) IT, let them always join the rush and let the defensive wingers just fill in behind them.

tried a couple on the pp but they never got through. Flat footed at the time, hopefully he didn't get everything on it. Last year it was noticeably weak. A dman isn't going to score many goals in this league without a powerful shot

kaberle's shot was below average at best. Still should have used it more though.

Are you too good for your home?!

The Habs are (frank)ed now, every player I took was a Hab in the HB pool. Then I went and ordered the home and away Subban and Price jersey's.

Every game they play, I'll be waiving my Habs flag.

GO HABS GO.

He was extremely accurate, like 4 for 4 at the skills competition accurate and his shots were pretty hard too. Definitely above average.

isn't that what the Leafs do now?

except they pinch EVERY time and never touch puck or body

were you guys comparing Rielly's shot to Kaberle's?

Are you the real David Clarkson?

EDIT: You have to be. Nobody else would even want to pretend to know him, let alone be him.
- BINGO!

Well done Mr. Feldman you ironic devil you

We are talking about slap shot power. Wrist shots from the hash marks has no bearing on it.

Maybe he could get Phil to give him some lessons.

They're both shots and if done properly, they both go in for goals.

But Kaberle had slap shot power too.

Well, if you look at their 2nd year in the NHL, Rielly has a lot to live up to in a short period of time.
- JohnFergusonJr

Yes but you have to also realize LA was quite a bit better at that point too. If he's in the same kind of realm then be a pretty good sign.

As he matures and gets stronger I think that will help.

Subban and Karlsson both had huge 2nd years without playing for a Cup winning team.

I doubt he's in that realm, especially in goal scoring terms. He just doesn't have a good enough shot for it.

Sorry...I will ask again..Rielly?
