Horvat Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Prust - Sutter - Burrows will be a good PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nooks Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Prust - Sutter - Burrows will be a good PK Prust will be spending his time in the box and will be unavailable. Would love to see Connor McDiagle matched up against Prust - Sutter - Dorsett to see how he fairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Should not have thrown away Sestitooooooooo?Absolutely one way to make games entertaining, esp. in Canada, if the wins aren't coming is to amp up the fights. But I think most games will be air tight and gooning it up can only happen if the bottom falls out on the season or we are way ahead of everyone in our division. It's obvious that Kassian didn't want to fight here. A shame, really. Prust coming in to replace him automatically makes us more of a throwing team. But it's him and Dorsett. That'll be all. Sbisa and Bartkowski can drop em the odd time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Kassian and Bieksa only fought a combined 4 fights between the two. Not a major loss in that department, but their intimidation and losing of that does hurt us. Adding Prust will alleviate the pressure on Dorsett to always drop the mits so I expect Dorsetts and Prusts numbers to taper a bit but it is a shared responsibility. More so I expect Luca Sbisa to drop the gloves a few more times this season with the minus of Bieksa. Not many realize this but he is the only one that brings the physical element to the blueline as he was the one who lead with hits. Without Juice, the intimidation level isn't as threatening anymore so Sbisa is going to have to pick up the slack majorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I hope there is a lot. Still a fan of that old time hockey As much as those line brawls are "bush league" it is super entertaining. Its almost an annual event we look forward too against the Flames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Well, I remember when Horvat wanted to drop the mits with Tarasenko but Tarasenko refused. Hopefully we will be able to see Horvat drop the mits maybe once this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Prust and Dorsett were 2nd and 3rd respectively in fighting majors last season but losing Kassian/KB3 will bring us down a bit Okay, so Bieksa fought 3 times and Kassian fought once. Just look it up. They rarely fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nooks Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Okay, so Bieksa fought 3 times and Kassian fought once. Just look it up. They rarely fight. Yes, rarely but subtraction is subtraction. Few other interesting things John Scott only fought 3 times Lucic only fought 3 times Bartkowski fought twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Probably a lot. Prust or dorsett are not deterrents and many guys will accept any invitation to dance with them as they are not feared fighters. A guy like Lucic will run our guys and then merrily pummel Prust for a bonus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Okay, so Bieksa fought 3 times and Kassian fought once. Just look it up. They rarely fight. They looked for fights and rarely found willing partners. Fighting a bunch doesn't mean you are a feared fighter. Just means more players are willing to drop with you.

Nooks Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Theres one of Bartkowski's from last year. If he was a Canuck the hit on Gionta I'm thinking 20 game suspension instead of 0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Fivehole0 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Theres one of Bartkowski's from last year. If he was a Canuck the hit on Gionta I'm thinking 20 game suspension instead of 0? That was a clean hit, great hit in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
