Where's Wellwood Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 His back is fully recovered now. It's to be expected that he's playing better. Nice to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Faulk Yourself Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 He has more than impressed me if comparing to last season over the first 4 games excluding our first one against Anaheim, but that game was terrible anyways for everyone on the team. I've never once hated on Raymond, I've felt bad for the kid since he's had times of struggle, and I'm rooting for him 100% of the way this season like everyone else should as well.

BuretoMogilny Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I'm noticing that Raymond seems a lot stronger on his legs, his stability has improved from what I saw last year. I like the sudden stops and starts and him being more explosive; not falling down all the time. Also, he's keeping his head up and while he's a bit slow to make the right decision with the puck, I think he'll get back to being the player he was 2 years ago. Of note, during his break-out season, Raymond had one of the best corsi ratings in the NHL. Last year, one of the worst. Anyway, all this to say is that Raymond can be an very effective player, and I don't understand all the hate by some of the "fans" on this site. -Jagori P.S. It bothers me the negativity by some on these boards. I remember the constant trashing Rypien got all the time on these boards. Oh, he is useless, etc. etc. Doesn't belong in the line-up, etc. etc. These players dedicate their lives to entertain us, and sacrifice alot. We all know they get paid well, but when you are under a microscope and give up a "regular" life for hockey, there has to be quite a toll mentally.

CanucksSayEh Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 He has a way about him where he can use his speed to look like the only player on the ice. We saw it briefly when he came back from injury last year, it faded as time went on. The dude has game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsflash Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Remember when Demitra first came here? How he went out of his way to say how impressive Raymond was? How he thought he could score 30 goals in this league? Remember how good Raymond was that year? Support your players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombieksa Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I believe the biggest concern of Management this season is Booth vs. Raymond vs Higgins. We only need to keep 1 or two of them after this season as Jensen will probably suit up next season. Higgins will most likely sign at a discount for job security but the real competition will be booth vs Raymond for 2LW position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightHawkSniper Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 It's always been a confidence issue with Raymond, he would never want to skate down the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoreanHockeyFan Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I actually think his skating still blows, and his decision-making is still a little off. The difference right now is that he has finish, I remember him not being able to finish off plays so many times last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
