When did you see Miller or Beagle fight. Benn can hold his own. Roussel I love but he's a $@*# disturber middle weight fighter. Bo is not someone u wanna see fight more than once a year.

Popular Post KirkSave Posted July 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2019 If the rumors from Dan Murphy are true regarding Loui's refusal to go to Edmonton in a swap that would have sent Lucic our way, that is easily the greatest contribution Loui has made to this organization. So thank you Loui for refusing to go to the oil patch. As far as this trade goes. No clue why Calgary would go down this road. Neal is a perennial goal scorer who can still play the game. Methinks the flames want lucic to protect johnny hockey... So glad this horse which has been beaten is finally dead (lucic to van) 2 1 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My response was to a poster who said "open season on McDavid" after Lucic trade. Oilers still have plenty of guys to keep Mcdavid safe. But as far as toughness linked to performance goes STL was a big strong tough team and just won a cup. But not just fighting tough. Size, speed strength and skill is what wins.

His low shooting percentage is the cause of his production drop off. This explains why he is so angry both on and off the ice. Appears he has issues when it comes to finishing...

Thats true, but really who cares. This team has push back now. Guys who are going to make it hard on the opposition. I rather have Motte, than Matt Martin. At least with Motte, you have a very good pker, good speed and someone who can keep up with the game. Only enforcer i would want is Reaves, because hes not a bad pker, he plays with significant edge and he can skate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nurse is a bigger guy who fights a lot more often. Bo did well but do you see him jumping in to fights protecting EP on a regular basis? Nurse fights often and well.

Just pointing that out to the one person who was comparing the 2 rosters and the other highlighting fighting ability. Facts are facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) The Oilers being tough sure hasn't helped them in any significant way. Still a garbage heap of a team. We were actually able to outperform them last year, when we had a much softer roster than we do now. That seems like as good a reason for us to focus on actually improving the team with skill, rather than just throwing goons into the lineup and hoping it makes some sort of a difference. Spoiler alert: It won't. Edited July 20, 2019 by 48MPHSlapShot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toughness in the top 6 is what counts. If you look at the 1 year they made the playoffs and had success BOTH Maroon and Lucic were consistently producing on the top 2 lines while Kassian was a main stay on the 3rd line. This is why the Ferland signing was pivotal. Would still love another tougher guy in the top 9 for Van. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
