Zach6668 513 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 How has Booth looked in the preseason? I watched a bit of their last game this morning, but obviously Booth did not play. Link to post Share on other sites

I watched a bit of their last game this morning, but obviously Booth did not play.Booth has been good, got a light load because he doesn't have to prove anything but he doesn't look like he's falling into a slump. Skating hard and creating chances for his line. Link to post Share on other sites

Speed Limit 0 Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 So the Edmonton Oilers picked up Steve MacIntyre off of waivers from Florida today. No biggie, just a big guy who was known for his fighting being sent down. But where things turn is the fact that according to Kevin Oklobzija's article "The Panthers vow to claim him back if the Oilers don’t keep MacIntyre in the NHL." What?...Why would we vow to do such a thing. Mac had more than three seasons of pro hockey so waivers were forced if he were to be sent to Rochester, but throwing around words like vowing, well that's pretty hilarious. Pretty sure if someone claimed Rory Fitzpatrick (which they didn't ) we wouldn't be making such crazy statements to get him back if available. Supposedly Mac will get a chance to be the tough guy in Edmonton so good for him. Link to post Share on other sites

Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hey Florida, dudes, just wondering what the chances are of Frolik making the team and what line he would be on? Link to post Share on other sites
Speed Limit 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hey Florida, dudes, just wondering what the chances are of Frolik making the team and what line he would be on?His chances are great. The roster is currently at 27, and 4 more cuts are to be made. The guys on the chopping block are Frolik, Matthias, Glass, Stewart, Peltonen. There are a couple guys with some nagging small injuries too so there might not be 4 cuts to start the season, just eventually. Frolik is playing the best out of those and has impressed the most but Matthias and Stewart are said to have taken big leaps in their play. Frolik is expected to play on the 2nd line when he makes the team with Weiss centering him and either Booth or Zednik. The only thing that could throw a wrench into everything is Anthony Stewart, he's been a perennial underachiever and management/coaching is very upset and unhappy with him. This is THE year, if he doesn't prove that he's worth anything this year he's gone so he might get that chance to get some ice time. Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Thanks for the info. Any chance they take both Frolik and Mathias? Or is it one or the other? Link to post Share on other sites
Speed Limit 0 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Thanks for the info. Any chance they take both Frolik and Mathias? Or is it one or the other?Yeah there is a chance they'd take both, it's just roster spots are hard to come by. Coach said that if there are young guys playing well enough to get a spot, they will make sure they find room. I think this week will be very telling obviously, so news should be coming fairly soon.

Speed Limit 0 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 There will be no captain to start the season at least. Florida will go with three A's with Weiss, Stillman, and Allen wearing one. Link to post Share on other sites

Speed Limit 0 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 no Horton? thats a slight suprise.Yeah a little bit.Also, teams have to submit their final rosters to the NHL today. Taking a look at Florida's not one cut was made, but the way this was accomplished was because Skrastins, Weiss, Booth, and Dvorak are on the injured list. All of which are available to be activated Friday. Booth and Weiss will be activated for sure, Skrastins is a doubtful, and Dvorak is a probable. So Stewart, Matthias, and Frolik remain up until Friday anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

Thats too bad, I was hoping he'd crack the roster and show enough to warrant top 6 time in the near future. Im not sure why Florida continues to employ guys like Peltonen, Dvorak and even Zednik, unless they believe their prospects are not ready for the NHL. Link to post Share on other sites

Im not sure why Florida continues to employ guys like Peltonen, Dvorak and even Zednik, unless they believe their prospects are not ready for the NHL.I'm with you. Peltonen was brought in to appease Jokinen, who pretty much was auditioning him to JM. Now that Olli is gone I would think Florida would have had enough with some lackluster play mostly from Ville, but it's not the case. He's played well in the preseason and they seem very set on giving him endless amounts of chances. Dvorak I can see a bit more, the guy is their PK specialist and very defense first oriented, yet expendable. Zednik from what I've seen still has pop so I'm ok with him in there. Crossing sports here, but Theo Epstein (GM of the Boston Red Sox) has one of my all time favorite lines. To paraphrase he said "Players do not win or lose spots in the preseason, we'd be an awful bunch of guys if we let preseason evaluate the majority of us." It makes all too much sense to me, I don't see if a guy exactly in Peltonen's spot is going to play well in the preseason after years of uninspired play how people are just going to turn their heads and pretend he'll be good this year. It's agonizing.I have no idea what is going on with Matthias, Frolik, and Stewart now. Coach has been giving way too many crossed signals the past few days. One of them (maybe 2) will be with the team, it'd make the most sense logic-wise just looking at the rest of the 11 forwards that Frolik should make, it but who knows.
