You can have too much of that?

all I ask is Trade Dion to move up to top 3 in the draft

thanks

He also has a ripped upper body. Please, you too..?

Now.

#66 and #99 say no

Bigger/stronger arms =bette shot........ and Here I am being called clueless and getting " ".

Look at the size of those arms. Huge!!! no wonder he was so good.

Huge arms =better shot.

Seriously, if he can't understand how upperbody strength can help a hockey player..

But apparently it does NOT affect your shooting..

Just crazy stuff.
- bixll

NHL players bend their sticks do you don't use arm strength as much.

It can help it many ways.. like fending off other players. pushing. holding your ground.

Tell me how many times the NUUUG has bodied someone off the puck??

Now.

Now we know why Jones dropped so much.

He had a weak shot and half the net was already open.

+ someone on the ice protecting him if anyone wanted to look at him

how many pullups do you guys think kessel can do?


- Dozzer

I would hope 1...if you can't do a chin up...well...pathetic IMO.

Now we know why Jones dropped so much.

He's 6 4 too don't forget at 18. Wait til you see him at 23-24. He'll be lookin like Reilly does at 20

Yes Gretzky sucked and was only good because of the era/ his teammates. Super muscly guys like Lucic have the best shots in the world.

Of course arm strength helps. But it isn't the most important thing. And a pull up is mostly back muscles, not arms. A chin up is almost entirely biceps. Think about shooting motion, biceps aren't all that important. It's a lot more to do with wrists, back muscles, etc.

Anybody would have been as good as #66 on that team!!

Byfuglien 2.0

Also, It's reported that Buff can do 10-12 chin ups!

Very few top players other than Ovenchicken ever really do well in the brute strength aspect of the combine. Guys like Tyler Lewington and Bogdan Yakimov were smoking everybody because they're like 6'4 240lbs at 18.

HAHAHAHHAHAHA



I didn't say that so learn to read before you put words in my mouth.

This NHL is different, Gretzky didn't need strength, just still. He had other people being the muscle. In todays game you need to defend your own.

Where did you guys read he sucked? I just said he had a weaker shot and muscle protecting him. His game was skill, he didn't need muscle in that era.

This is a different game, you need to be in elite shape.

That has nothing to do with shooting. And you don't have to defend yourself if you cry enough.

It was a hanging rack of BBQ Ribs...

And they were picked clean after chin up #10

And where are they now?? Where were they drafted based off this brute strength?

If we win a game I'll be (frank)ing shocked...

Sarcasm. I'm feeling really sassy today.
