That means he's 7:18 in ice time away from his first stupid penalty in an NHL playoff game.

Congrats Corey Potter!!

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

Wow, good for him.

I hope he pulls a Pisani and gets a ridiculous contract.

 

[OilerFan4Life]

Good for him.

Career AHLer who carved out an NHL contract with his hard work and determination.

 

[T-Funk]

Off topic.

Wow, good for him.

His contract is already ridiculous since it is a one-way deal and all he had to do was play horrible hockey for the worst team in the league to get it.

lol, Potter is making 775 k or something. It's a good deal and being one-way or not wouldn't matter at all since that is only about cap space. (with 900k being the burying limit)

ill bet Potter looks good tonight - 500 vcash lol

Corey Potter playing for he bruins

Anyone watch the Detroit-Boston game? Was so surprised to see Corey potter play on the same ice as datsyuk, chara , Bergeron etc...sad to admit but he didn't look out of place. What do you guys think? Will he play a key role for Boston ? Or will he ruin his team defensively like Robyn reghr is doing for the king?

 

[Beranek]

Only reason he was playing was because the flu hit the bruins hard.

 

[Aerchon]

Isn't there another thread about this?

Anyways. Potter was vastly under rated here. Pretty much a perfect 6-7 guy for us. No glaring weaknesses good at everything.

Everyone hated him and jumped on every little mistake he made cause Taylor Hall fell on his face and head butted Potters skate blade.

That and he also got paired with Whitney and Oiler fans can't generally tell when a defenseman is playing bad defense or not. Potter got blamed in a myriad different ways for Whitney not being able to skate. I remember all those excuses and "Whitney still has a great first pass and is so much better than Potter" posts. It took 20+ games and the coaching staff to scratch Whitney before people would admit that Whitney was the problem and not Potter.

Between the Hall thing and being paired with Whitney the guys career was never going anywhere in Edmonton.

Would not surprise me if Potter is back here in the summer as 7th D. He's not a bad fill-in, but he should have no business playing above the third pairing. If he does, then your team is ****.

Potter was always a solid bottom pairing guy here. He made some errors, but you expect that from your bottom pairing when they're outmatched against better opposition.

But he could get the puck out of trouble, usually took his man, played with a bit of physicality, and had a nice shot. Perfectly functional 6/7 guy, and I honestly think he could play in that role for most teams in the league. But Edmonton often used him to anchor the bottom pairing, and also doesn't hard match. I'm not sure he's suited to anchor any pairing in the NHL, and like most other bottom pairing d-men, he can't play against top opposition without being exposed.

He's a perfectly useful #7 guy on a cup contender, in my opinion. I'd rather him than Nick Schultz when the chips are down.

It's time for the Corey Power Potter Playoffs.

I picked Detroit to upset.
potter playing kind of clinches it.
