Sitting here on my couch with beer and potato chips, is that fast? Didn't seem that fast? 

Looks like he was probably late in the session and had already done a bunch of drills previously. Really stiff and shortened in his movements. Certainly not representative of how he’s skated in the games I’ve seen.

I thought his action was a bit stiff. He needs to loosen up a bit. I doubt it was fast.

 

Edit, Just read your post SID and it seems we are in agreement.

I liked what he brought last night. 

He looked good out there. Had a shift with a couple of good hits. 

It's too bad there's not a young guns tourney like a few seasons ago. 

Would love to see a repeat of Virtanen on Mcdavid but this time Woo on Yamamoto or something lol

Here is a review of another 2nd round pick from the whl after he was drafted 49th in the 2nd round.

 

Shea Weber, Defense

Round
2, Pick 49

 

Age:
17                                    


 

Team:
Kelowna

 

Ht/Wt:
6-3, 190                        


 

Hometown:
Sicamous, B.C. 



 

Stats:
70 GP, 2 goals, 16 assists, 18 points, 167 PIM



 

Comment:
Weber is a tough, physical player who fills the Predators need for a big
defender.  Weber
is most noted for his strong skating ability and his no-fear approach to playing
defense.  The
6-3 defenseman has the ability to physically dominate opponents and clear out
players in front of the net. 
The Predators thought so highly of Weber that they moved defensemen Tomas
Slovak to Colorado to make room for Weber. 
Weber needs to add muscle to be successful in the NHL. 
Weber was member
of the 2003 WHL Champion Kelowna Rockets this season.

Sound familiar?  Woo's idol is Weber.  Right shot on top of it.

And to think Shae's brother was a better athlete. But didnt want to go that route

Lol oh snap. I thought this replaced it. So good. I'm definitely looking forward to that tourney. 

Edit

Now. I remember. I read the press release and got disinterested because the only other club involved is Winnipeg. 

I wanted to see a 4 team tourney.

Love this quote from his old coach in moosejaw....

 

He has that old-school rock ’em, sock ’em where he’s not afraid to lean into somebody. You don’t see a lot of big hits anymore and he’s willing to do that. And he’s not intimidated if guys want to make him accountable. We had a game in Spokane where he ran over a guy and their supposed tough guy came out and gave him a bit of an ear lashing. And the next shift Jett ran him over, too.”

 

 

lol. Love this guy already 

Bieksa 2.0?
