[derosabomb]

[Capt. Serious]

Imagine Datsyuk going around him...lol

Imagine Datsyuk going around him...lol

If he's stuck out there on those lines, Imagine him knocking Holmstrom out of the crease.

For once I actaully agree with Joe. I can care less how a guy can fight, post lockout NHL is about how well you can skate and move the puck. The guy cannot skate and is actually not very physical in his play. Think of a bigger version of Brent Sopel with worse balance that can also play forward. The guy is going to end up a healthy scratch most of the time and be a situational defensemen who cannot eat up ice time and is a liability against teams top lines. If you want an enforcer on the team just to knock a player out after they cheap shot Kaner than go sign Laraque.

If they had the Mil and a half to spare they could of kept Burish or Eager. They don't.

Here's his report from forecaster.ca:

ASSETS: Is a towering presence along the blue-line and knows how to lay on the body to intimidate the opposition. Can also provide pugilistic support and play an enforcer role up front.

FLAWS: Has trouble keeping up with the speed of the NHL. Doesn't have much of an offensive arsenal and struggles to fend off fleet-footed opponents.

CAREER POTENTIAL: Physical utiity player.

Don't worry about that - maybe they offered to put a recliner in the penalty box - I don't think he'll be on the ice for too long during play.

I'll have to check out the rest of the videos I saw the last embedded one elsewhere -but he looks pretty solid on his skates as far as what he is needing to use it for.

He's a theory- but maybe in some games where you know the other team wants to play "grudge match" -you blow up your 4th line - go with 3 and a couple of spare -and a hammer. I don't think this guy is here for anything more than that -and frankly the guys that were here last season -wouldn't.

Eager wouldn't - not like this ... Burish? That guy was 90% lip -I doubt Mr Scott has any time for pithy one liners.

On the other hand, if you ever find you are going on Jeopardy- I'm sure if he was one of the contestants- you'd probably be pretty happy.

:woot:

For someone that claims to have "followed hockey since they were 3" - you don't appear to have much of an idea of how goon shifts go. They go out there at a face off- neutral or offensive zone only. You pair up with the target, and as soon as the puck is dropped it is on.

Any coach that puts a guy like that in a position where Pavel is flying by them -isn't a coach that has won anything anywhere -including peewees. I mean you are not talking about a guy who is going to get a regular shift.

But man- that Conboy -he got rag-dolled badly. And then Scott goes for the jersey pull over -as if he didn't already beat the bejeezus out of that guy...


Puttin' on the Foil ... gotta love it...

Old time hockey? Like Eddie Shore?

 

[southern_cross_116]

Piss on old time hockey -there are scouts out there.

I do NOT want to know if Scott gets penalties on purpose either :tongue:.

That third video is the shit. Starts whooping his ass in front of his own bench.
