Yup. Brad Marchand levels. He best have a Chara around or he'll be dead in a week.

Rupert reminds me more of Carcillo in junior than Marchand. Marchand is an antagonizing type of player but Carcillo was reactive, although Rupert doesn't blow past the supposed "edge" that these types of players play on the way our boy Daniel did. Carcillo got suspended for vicious acts of being a vigilante because of players who did something to him. I was there when he tried to kill Adam McQuaid and broke his face and jaw. He's always been a tool, was worse when his idiot buddy Hecimovic was riding shotgun with him as well.

Thank goodness these guys are 5'9, if they were 6'4 they'd be in the KHL a la Chris Simon within three games.

Hey, I went to high school with Chris Simon for a year (when he got dealt to the Soo for our Memorial Cup run). He's taller than me.

Simon doesn't strike me as a guy that went to school.

Yep, he went.. as much as the other Hounds did anyways. The time that I was in high school, the Hounds got away with whatever they wanted. They all went to my school, outside of a couple guys that did the catholic school thing.

I might have clicked the little exclamation beside this post. If I did, I apologize as I didn't mean to. I knew you were kidding, I was too.

Hey Huds, I see Alex Friesen signed with the Canucks. Fits right into their team concept. About as big (or little if you look at his actual size) a douche as the league offered this year. Right in line with Cousins. Won't miss that little piece of garbage one bit.

I like douchie players. If I could, I'd have a team full of them.

As a pairing?

They definitely would. Young defensemen typically expierence even some minimal struggle through the rest (roughly) 300 games. Not saying it would be a bad pairing though, just likely some rough patches. Theres a reason why both are so highly touted.

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say "that team" was the Habs.
