Was Kane Party Thread, Now Turned To Bolland For Selke Debates.

http://www.hockey-reference.com/players/k/kanepa01.html nice look at all Kane stats and I like the player comparisons.

Well, this was an interesting discussion but I think we can ALL agree that we'll never see a kid like Kane's true potential if Q doesn't leave him with ONE PAIR OF LINEMATES and let them get accustomed to one another.

Ideally, you get the 2C they've needed, and your top line becomes Sharp-Toews-Kane

2nd line would be Stalberg(?)-2C-Hossa

But without that 2C, loading up Toews Kane and Sharp on one line spreads the talent too thin among the remaining lines.

I wanted Plekanec to start the year and word was that we could have gotten him for Hammer. That would have completely changed the season.

We HAVE to get a 2nd line center.

word from who?

I doubt a straight switch like that would have worked

Give Kane a chance at Center let's see what happen.

he had his chance last year...i wanna see if a whole summer being healthy and practicing at center will make a difference...hope it does

 

[Tazer4mvp]

That's what Iam saying give him time at the center spot lets see what happens.

 

[TheChicagoFan]

I never minded Kane at center and I thought he was good there. He didn't score goals like he had before, but he played well there and was much better on defense than he had been in any of the previous years.

he started out good, but it looked as if he began to slump a little bit after awhile...

But with a lot of hard work over the summer and in training camp, he could probably fill the 2C pretty well.

I agree...he was also injured last summer and thrown into a new position, so 2 strikes against him

Yeah. With an injury free summer and already being familiar with playing the position, he could probably become a letter better this summer.

easily...but we will have to wait and see to be sure obviously

id much rather get a true 2nd line center.

 

[Everyday I'm Byfuglien]

Oh shit, Giroux out partying. Spotted for the second time this off season! GET HIM!

Claude Giroux, Shirtless, Playing Baggo and Wearing Two Casts - Crossing Broad

At least Kane's a bit more cut than Claude :lol:

track record and totally different type of party VS no track record and a very boring looking party. but nice comparison for the fail.

i think everyone would

 

[Capt. Serious]

comparing Giroux's "partying" to Kane's, is a massive fail.
