Piss off. Thornton is just an awful skater, no chance he plays the wing. Plus dude can't score. I take Colture over him on wing any day of the week
- Bieksa#3


Thornton gets around just fine. He's not worse or better a skater than Getzlaf.

Couture is overrated. If he wasn't on the Sharks and was on a crap team like Edmonton or Calgary he'd be cemented in the "next time" category.

scrub??!! wow. he certainly wasn't a scrub last year when he walked all over Vancouver in the playoffs almost single handedly.

either way, I didn't mean to come off hatin on the nucks, that's just when he really opened my eyes. he was effin fantastic.
we'll just have to agree to disagree


and I think he'll be in a checking spot.

im certainly not on the wagon that we need to be so structured and play in only one role. but id feel a lot more comfortable with couture in a 3rd/4th line role than patty.

- hugefemale dog77


Patty's and underrated defensive player. He's also fast as hell and has a great release.

I just don't get the love in with Couture. At all. He's not an elite player at this point in his career. He's not even the best player on his team.

I actually debated Vlasic over Gio for a while. Couture can stay home.

I can agree with the bolded. although I think getzlaf has some intangibles joe doesn't.
little more physical. and a ring. and a lock as his winger.


plus I wouldn't want too many of those types.
and we can agree that getz is almost a for sure..right?

I think both should be there but they are both without question bubble guys who even if they go see little to no ice time.

Bob Mackenzie released a the team according to the soarces.

Vlasic and Hamhuis were both on it

depends.

I think he's the best two way player on his team.

elite is a tough word. depends. I only have a few guys that are 'elite'

but he's in that next tier down at this point imo

Oh please. If Hall was on the Sharks and Couture was an Oiler or a Flame or a Sabre or a Pred he'd only be mentioned in the same breath as Eberle and Jordan Staal. The breath of dumb people.

I'll say this about Marleau. Like Kessel in Toronto, he can get redonkulous hot.

I disagree. I don't think he's better than a number of players that are likely to be left off the team. That irks me.

so you're faulting him for being on a winner?
he helps that team win as of now.

I'm saying that he's not as good as people think and if he played on a bad team and only had 35 points in 43 games people would laugh at you for the idea. Guys with comparable totals are Eric Staal and David Perron and Bryan Little. Kyle Turris and Clarke MacArthur aren't far off.

No one is talking about 4 of those 5 for Sochi.

Oh please nothing. Couture was one of the top rookies in the league, has excellent hockey sense & 9 times out of 10 he's on the way to the puck before it even gets to where it's headed. The only reason he isn't higher in the scoring race is that he has hit about 20 posts/crossbars this season.

Hate his attitude or his teeth all you want, he's still Sochi material.

im absolutely a marleau fan. one of my favourite players for a long time

he's alot of the reason I jumped on their bandwagon the year the oilers beat them in 06. theyve kinda been the team Ive pulled for as Ive had nobody to cheer for in the playoffs for years now.
blazingly fast and a great shot.
ive cooled off on him abit though. clearly something is missing in his game

If my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle. I'll take the guys that have managed to score because I reckon they've probably hit a bunch of posts too.

He kind of takes me as a Geoff Courtnall. Just goes completely invisable for periods. This is my main dislike with Kessel as well.

I think most of us can agree that he's a GREAT player.
ive been watching him for awhile, but that destruction of Vancouver last year was pretty nuts. he was brilliant.

we'll see if stevie y agrees or not.
