Tre Mac Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Just called up so hopefully we see him sometime on this road trip, and hopefully he replaces Bart or Weber. If he can impress and make either of those two expendable then I'd be a happy fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our problems on D aren't the bottom pairing guys. It's a lack of quality and quantity in the top 4. Never mind uncomplimentary roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so many problems with our D it's hard to know where to start, but yes, the bottom pairing is the least of our worries. Realistically, if he shows as a credible alternative to Bartkowski for next year, that's progress by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Brilliant IMO. I actually suggested some time ago how out of place Pedan looked in the pre season and how he needed to mix and mingle and get used to the NHL life style, make friends and relax....and low and behold :-) Good move he's here to feel included not sure if he'll play or not...just like Fedun and Bartkowski keep your eye on these guys...one day ....

SilentSam Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Yes, regardless of Pedan's performance, this is great news and sends a positive message to Utica. 7 hours ago, Tre Mac said: Just called up so hopefully we see him sometime on this road trip, and hopefully he replaces Bart or Weber.

The Lock Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Not to create needless hype or anything, but could you guys imagine if he actually plays well enough to stick? That'd be 4 rookies sticking with the club in 1 season. It almost feels like more rookies than AV's brought in his entire coaching career!....

Lol...I would love to see him stick but chances are unlikely..he will probably be back the next Comet game on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can stop the stupid stuff we have seen our guys endure over this last while by grabbing the other teams' players and punching face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it kind of disrespectful to the players as they are more than that. Also, I hope that Pedan doesn't feel the need to fight to prove his worth. He can become much more than just a fighter and with his recent concussion history I don't think it's worth it for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're in a fight, that's the intent. Plus, to land some you often have to take some too. You can actually hear the smack, smack as knuckles connect with faces. That's why I state it so bluntly. It's brutal, and the guys who do that job are as tough as they come. They are needed, and I'm glad we got one coming up, and I hope he trades a few. Plus, I don't believe it's disrespectful. trading bare knuckle fists to the cheek takes guts, lots of guts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think what is trying to be said here is "FP" label is just as low a term as "goon".. Mr Pedan can fight, thats obvious,. But he does bring other assets as well. The fact that he can fight and play hockey brings more of a psychological edge to his game and the team he plays for.. He will put up points and defend., but to call him a "FPer" puts him into a single class only. . A player like Mr Pedan deserves to called "Well Rounded" ... After all, He is multi talented. Im sure if you had the opportunity to ask him yourself, he would like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp... Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Stoked for him his worked hard and made his way from the ECHL to the NFL at least for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyLow_ Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Haven't seen him play this season, but if he can be dependable and bring some physicality it would fill a much more important role than whatever role Weber or Bartkowski are trying to fill. A defence that can't score and is easy to play against isn't a recipe for success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
