they do for sure - I hope Bo starts to hit more in the future. Interested to see how he plays if we ever make it back to the POs.

Petey will actually push back and as the year went on he started to hit a little, more so rubbing guys out, but it wasnt too aggressive. I think when he gets a little more comfortable in the league and bigger he'll start taking his frustration out on people instead of on the bench. He got a temper for sure.

Why do you care if Brock hits?

are we talking about his defensive game, his ability to hit/be hit, or his ability to get in the middle of scrums? I'm not disagreeing with you, just trying to understand what part of his game you are referring to.

Mainly the Ozone - As a winger, defensively, he's not really in a position to hit or be that aggressive, just cover the point and be strong on the half wall. I wish he'd be more aggressive on the fore-check, finish a hit, if he gets into the scrum push back and show he got jacked for a reason.

I’m concerned with his goal totals and not his ball size. If he scores 30 next season he can wear a dress to the rink if he chooses

I agree - I rather see him score, but why get jacked if you're not gonna use it to your advantage? Im not saying reinvent his game, it doesn't necessarily have to be hitting but use your size.

He is probably a little gun shy after the clutterbuck hit. I suspect he will be a bit more physical next season after a full summer of training

Also, he is planning to come back quicker and leaner so not sure how much more physical he will be.

He better be leaner and quicker or Jkuzzi will trade him for future considerations

I'd say you're right about that - He started to look a bit quicker near the end of the year - I hope he slims down a little, works on his skating and in turn gets faster. It was encouraging to see him and Bo not slumping or slowing down at the end of the season.

BTW - to clarify I said I hope to see Bo hit more in the future, not Brock. But I do wish BB didnt fly by so much on the forecheck.

Bo should play harder he is jacked. Ideally your captain is the one setting the physical tone

Exactly, he could really (frank) up some average/smaller dmen on the forecheck.


Tell him that at your next beer date.

If he becomes somewhat of a Blake Wheeler type Captain i'm happy. Top 5 on the team in hits, strong on the forecheck and board battles. The odd fight when need be. I doubt Bo will ever put up 90 points, but 70-75 is attainable.

Dumb fux on 650 suggesting bringing the Sedins back for the second half of next season. Right after that they played a station commercial saying 650 was the home of Alex Edler.

No wonder the fans are so (frank)ed up here.

For sure, but how many diehard fans would suggest a Sedin return compared to casuals?

It wasnt fans suggesting it. It was those two boneheads on Reech Deep or what ever.

They start saying more stupid poop than usual during the off-season to get more listeners.
