Dustin Rose - Best Puck Poise Ever?

[Hunter Gathers]

I just saw the kid play and I was amazed. I don't think I've seen someone possess so much puck poise this side of Martin Skoula.

He's a beast. He's grown up so much in the last few years that he hardly resembles the same Dustin that we once knew. Any word on how his stats are lately?

Especially for a 6'10", 250lbs sniper.

:lol Skoula will never lose the 'puck poise' stigma. Who was it that started that? RIAL?

 

[Brock]

And he's faster then Taylor Pyatt.

He skate circles around Pyatt. Are you kidding me?

*255 is is his current weight now.

That guy has got so much freakin' speed, it's not even fair. I once saw him receive the puck from his goalie behind his net, carry it all the up the ice, weaving around each defender like he was doing the slolem around some yellow road cones, and bury the puck top-shelf on the glove side back-handed. Absolutely WOW!!!!

I believe it was KL... and the topic was on Martin Skoula being the best at it... and better than Nicklas Lidstrom :lol

Puttin' on muscle. He's got a frame for at least 275lbs.

Ya, it was KL. At first, he was saying that Skoula had the best poise in the NHL. THen when everyone jumped on him for that, he back-tracked to "puck poise". But it didn't help him any as puck poise went down into HF lore. Good times.

I thought i saw "Dustin Rose" go across the ESPN ticker one day, but it was "Justin Rose".

Ya, Dustin Rose was leading the Masters, but he couldn't finish the tournament becuase he had games on the weekend.

That puck poise thread was a killer. One of the truly great threads in HF history.

It had nothing on The Cola Wars.

 

[PhoPhan]

Why...why...WHY did the boards have to crash?

 

[Brock]

Also, the one time I went to see him. He decided to go outside and kill himself a bear with his bare hands during the first intermission and ate it on the bench between shifts during the second.

Never read it. I was to busy stamping out CUSTARD!

 

[Wild Thing]

I heard he used to be in the Beatles.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

And he's faster then Taylor Pyatt.

pffft...anyone can do that. But the way he makes Konstantin Koltsov and Jason Chimera look like old ladies on the ice...now that's impressive!

Not to mention he shoots 110 mph. On the BACKHAND.

Yeah, I was just about to say.... Dustin might end up being a better playmaking wing than Cola.

Why...why...WHY did the boards have to crash?

A lot of this dates back before the new boards, altogether.

No one is faster then Taylor Pyatt. NO ONE.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

You won't get much agreeance on that one.

Koltsov and Chimera undoubtedly are faster.

 

[Brock]

It's an old joke around here.

You must be newer then the old boards.

Isn't he averaging 5 goals per game and like 10 points a game!
