mrdannyg 274 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I'm pissed at the Corvo signing. Seems like they've got one too many PP specialists with Pitkanen, Corvo and Babchuk. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Im pretty suprised with the Corvo signing. As you guys pointed out, looked like we had the O end of our D covered with McBain, Pitkanen and Babchuk. (Babchuk you cant count on IMO even with a signed contract)I think Jimmy R didnt think he could afford Corvo, but once he came down in asking price, seemed like a good enough fit based on the dollars.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Someone didnt tell Cam Ward the presesaon started..3 goals allowed in the first 5 minutes and change.ya, it was a tough blow being down 3-0. Thankfully, it didnt get to 5-0. That would have been nasty. Eh, its the preseason, who cares. Link to post Share on other sites

SBriand 4 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Enjoy Cam Ward now because the minute he starts playing games for the Beavers he will open up like...well I can't think of anything good to put there right now but believe me, it will be open wide! Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 We need some more discussion on the overall awesomeness of Jeff Skinner.4g, 6a in 12 games.He's also insanely fun to watch. Link to post Share on other sites

digitalmonkey 929 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 best of the draft?Much too early to say one way or the other. My money is on no. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Skinner looks great. The guy has a lot of talent, and I cant figure out why his skating was a knock against him. I think he has acclimated so well to the NHL game so quickly because he has a really strong lower body thats allowing him to not get knocked off the puck so easily. I cant say Ive watched a lot of Seguin, but what Ive seen of Hall, Skinner looks much more ready. However, I dont think Id go so far as to say he's better than Hall/Seguin, or more accurately, has a better upside. (But I will admit Im much happier with my #1st rnd pick, 3rd overall, from the AHL draft, than I was before. He clearly looks like #3 SO FAR) I feel for Eric Staal. He is forced to play with Jussi (who has lost all his confidence over the summer) or Larose (who has no hands). Larose is ridiculously miscast on the first line, and for the second time this week, tonight the other team scored because Larose couldnt handle a hard pass in the offensive zone. Finally Skinner is getting some time there, and looks like the best option by far. This team reminds me a lot of the Leafs sometimes.....1 star, and not much else offensively. Unless Skinner keeps it up. Staal deserves a lot of credit for the effort and skill he puts out nightly, unfortunately he wont get it playing for the Canes. Tonights first period against Florida: 35shots combined, 6 goals. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Skinner used to be a nationally ranked figure skater. Not sure why his skating would have been a knock either.He's going to be a 40 goal, PPG player at one point in his career. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Central Scouting had Jeff Skinner ranked as the 34th best North American skater going into the draft. How crazy is that? Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Skinner used to be a nationally ranked figure skater. Not sure why his skating would have been a knock either.He's going to be a 40 goal, PPG player at one point in his career.One of the first things I read about him was by The Hockey News. They mentioned exactly that, his past, and yet still there was questions from scouts about his skating. (i figured it was something I didnt get between the differences in skating styles in the 2 sports)Then, it was mentioned again by TSN when the Canes drafted him. This made me curious.Having watched him play so far, I dont see the issue at all. And, I agree 100% with you. Ill be very suprised if he doesnt get 40gls, 80pts at least a couple of times in his career. He looks like 30-30-60 already. I wish they would play Cole with Skinner+Staal....Cole in his heyday would have made this a dangerous line. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I used to love Cole in his heyday, at least the one year where they won the Cup... he just seemed SO dangerous every time he touched the puck. His hands were so nasty. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Also, all I do k=now is watch the Hurricanes. I'm watching them in standard definition, even, because Rogers is a huge fag. But I can't stop with them. Skinner has me so excited. He's really easing the pain of losing the draft lottery. Ironic that it was you that won it, heh. Link to post Share on other sites

Now Im not as devastated as I was last spring.this game is on HD in my area. shouldnt you have it too? Link to post Share on other sites
