[Frk It]

Does anyone know a way of downloading videos off of the NHL website?

I...may have a big Datsyuk collection. :sheepish:

If you use this website and copy and paste the URL in, it may work.

The kid just needs more meat on his bones and he's a guaranteed NHLer. What a draft steal by Hakan.

He needs more than a little meat on his bones.

He needs more than a little meat on his bones.

He's got to be fast enough to make up for the lack of size.

Take a look at our D right now.
Dekeyser 6'3
Ericsson 6'4
Kindl 6'3
Kronwall 6'0
Lashoff 6'2
Quincey 6'2
Smith 6'2

Consider the size of our prospects
Ouellet 6'1
Sproul 6'3
Marchenko 6'2
Nedomlel 6'4
Backman 6'2
Jensen 6'0
Almquist 5'11

Consider Coach Babcock's size fetish.

I'm actually surprised that Sammy wasn't flamed more in this thread.
I think he was by FAR the worst player on the ice this game.

Coughing up pucks and being slow. Awful on the point in the PP.
I know that this performance was kind of expected, but still..

I dislike Cleary as much as the next guy, but the negative feelings should be vs. Sammy after this game.

Let's be fair. It's not Babcocks size fetish, it's the whole sports. Every team at every level gives the nod to bigger guys. It takes a ton of will and determination for smaller guys to make it. There's 1000s of examples and it starts around the age of 12.

Nah, it's Babcock's size fetish. Sure, it's all over sports. But Babcock's preference is pretty pronounced.

Being size fetish is reasonable, when you already are haveíng a roster full of midgets, like we have had. But five big guys can always carry one midget. Just like we did with Rafalski. It worked pretty well.

 

[Heaton]

Don't forget Lebda, who many thought would never make the team.

Tomas Tatar goal 1-0



Adam Almquist rocket goal 2-1



Adam Almquist mega blast goal 3-1
