Canvoucer Vanuck Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Not quite as noticeable but still did some good things out there. Hope we get to him, Jensen and Schroeder dominate on the scoresheet eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOHO39 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I have really liked the way that Darren has played at the youngstars games. What I have notices is that he backchecks fairly well and has been able to cause turnovers. The obvious part of his game is that of the points. I could see he playing well on te wolves this year, but what I am more excited for is having a legit powerforward prospect in the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckRow Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 He reminds me of Dustin Byfuglien, its crazy how similar they play, specially since Buff use to play forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckRow Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Except Darren Archibald can skate and has better hands. 53 points as a d-man on that Thrashers team that existed last year. Doesn't sound like a guy that has too bad of hands. And actually Buff and Archibald's speed is pretty similar along with stride style. It's sorta freaky to me how similar they are.

Canvoucer Vanuck Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Think he could still improve his skating, but that will come with more training. That was an absolute laser beam of a goal by him today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Archi with 1 goal on 1 shot last night. On the powerplay from superstar Haydar and our own K-con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck_trevor16 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 would he be a option to bring up in the playoff for more size than Volpatti? and make our fourth line better I am guessing he is not ready for full time yet but in a year or to?

Volpatti plays so much bigger than he actually is, and he is a much better skater than Archibald at the moment. I don't think we'll see Archibald up here this season, but in a year or two he might just crack the roster or at least get some call-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody_Hodgson9 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I love his game! We don't have many prospects that can play archie's kind of game. Which for me makes it really exciting to keep a closer eye on his development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-a-n-u-c-k-s Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Slumps happen. This guy has shown he can kill it. Hopefully he comes around in the next couple weeks (assuming he's getting ice time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Kreuzberg Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Slumps happen. This guy has shown he can kill it. Hopefully he comes around in the next couple weeks (assuming he's getting ice time). He was getting loads of ice time; was on the 2nd line with Schroeder and Oreskovich. But i'd say he was the weakest on that line, he worked hard and played physical, but didn't generate a lot. Now with them losing a bit and MacT switching up the lines, Archibald was moved to the 3rd/4th line last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Is he still sucking or what? I want him to be our next power forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got 1 goal in the first game on his first shot and has gone pointless since then. (13 games/1 goals/1 points/-2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
