He was without a doubt the worst skater I've ever seen in the NHL.
At times, and I am not exaggerating, he looked like he had maybe been skating for only a year or two.

He looks to have a lot more jump this season and is even down a few pounds to playing weight and he looks outstanding.
I'd say Brendl beyond a shadow of a doubt. Beech has never impressed me at all.
Liquidrage said:Interesting. I don't recall anyone every mentioning ligament damage when he was with the Flyers but it makes sense. His skating was simply horrible.
