  1. Big boy who looks like he isn't allergic to the middle of the ice.
  2. Sounds like every other team in the NHL.
  3. Meh, Helly was really good. Rangers tried to make a big push in the second but it just wasn't happening tonight. I'll give Hajek a shout out since we are quick to shit on him when he isn't good. Tro better stop fumbling the puck continually. Idk if he's still getting used to the team or feeling the pressure of NY and the contract, but he needs to tighten it up.
  4. Speed isn't everything. Joe Thornton, Anze Kopitar, Huberdeau, Benn, Stone. None of these guys are fast.
  5. Please just win! I can't live with these Carolina fans and their inferiority complex. The locals are still pissed off that they have been infiltrated!!
  6. I don't see this amazing chemistry between him and Panarin. It comes down to what he would take to stay. No way do you over pay that guy.
  7. What do Laf and Kakko have in common? Both are average skaters. If you are picking at the top of the draft, you better damn well pick a guy who can skate. i know Chytil has been shit this year, but I really think the kid can develop into a useful player based, primarily on the fact that he can skate. Look at Marty Necas. He can outskate most NHLers. He turns the puck over way too much, but he can make shit happen too. I'm just not seeing it with Laf especially. What is it that he does that leads you to think he will develop into a player who can dominate, at least a particular area of the game?
  8. It wasn't Skjei's fault though. They had him on his off side and the pass was made to him along the wall in the corner. The puck jumped his stick. It was the rest of the team who weren't in position to recover. Outside of that one play, he had a really good game. He showed more offense than I have seen out of him all season. Canes already have Slavin and Pesce as shutdown type D. Brady can be more aggressive with that team.
  9. He may go on to be a top 5 point producer for D and that carries a ton of weight, but he isn't a good defender. Certainly not as good as Fox. Overall, Fox is and will be the more valuable player. I could be wrong, but I think the organization feels the same way.
  10. Tony's point production has slowed. He is getting an additional minute of PP time/game and his shooting % is twice that of Fox. That % will eventually even out. I think its splitting hairs as to who is better offensively, but its not really as close defensively. Fox is better and I don't see this kid reverting. I've been on this kid since watching him at Canes rookie camp a few years ago. It was just obvious that he was the best player on the ice. If he didn't come in and play like he has, I would have been blown away.
  11. Maybe defensively? Yes, definitely...by a good margin. I can easily see Fox getting more points than Tony going forward. The guy has elite vision and passing skill. Tony has really good offensive instinct as well, but I'm not seeing it being much, or any, greater than Fox's. Time will tell. Good news is now Gorton can sign ADA and we will have two really good young D to argue over who is better.
  12. I'm calling bullshit on that one. Fox has been better than ADA and I don't think its debatable. Don't get me wrong, Fox has made some mistakes, but Tony is still a defensive liability. Love the guy, but his value lies solely in his offensive puck moving ability.
  13. No shit. How do they let a woman with the most annoying voice I've ever heard, on the radio. She makes Susan Waldman sound like Pavarotti!
  14. Didn't consider that since I'm not familiar with their house leagues. One similarity, at least down here in Raleigh, is that house leagues have abandoned body checking at all levels. It definitely has kept some kids in the game that otherwise would have stopped playing.
  15. It is absolutely insane to bench 8-9 year old kids in house league. The only reason to do it is to pump the coaches tires so he can walk around and take credit for a teams wins. Dumb, dumb and dumb.
