Because Chad LaRose hasn't been signed to a contract with the Canes yet.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Because he wears #11 and that was my number.

 

[TheOllieC]

because he has the best #corsi on the team

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Because Chad LaRose hasn't been signed to a contract with the Canes yet.

This is the correct answer.

Because Anton Babchuk spoke to him in a dream.

because he has the best #corsi on the team

Do you have fancy graphs to justify this statement?

 

[What the Faulk]

Because his leadership in the dressing room is reflected by his grit on the ice. He's a real team player, a guy coaches dream of. He never takes a play off and is great with the media.

 

[HisIceness]

He won a cup with the Penguins therefore he is good.

 

[DougieSmash]

Because he's second coming of Rod Brind'amour, i'm deadly serious.

 

[Zezima]

Because he isn't, Faulk is

He's not even Brindy Lite yet.

At even strength, the two are very similar (rod and jordan). It's the power play, where Rod racked up the offensive numbers. Something Jordan hasn't figured out yet for whatever reason.

You can't really compare the 2. Jordan plays more of a physical possession game. I don't ever remember Rod being a possession beast although one could argue that faceoffs are part of ones puck possession game. So now I am confused.

While I do think Rod is a way better play all around I also really like Jordan. In summary the only thing I can say about these 2 players is that there is no "I" in team. But there is an "I" in pie and if there is an "I" in pie then well..... you guys get the point.

Jordan can't hold a candle to Brindy's playmaking ability. Not because Brindy was elite - he wasn't although he was very good - but Jordan is subpar in that regard and doesn't see the ice nearly as well.
