Muscle!

I'm fine with an individual player who is a "tiny weakling" if he's good at hockey. But I'd rather not skate a whole team of them. I'd rather my lineup be balanced and have different guys bring different skill sets to the table.

I like Hickey and Vis and have no problem with their game and what they contribute. BUT, the D corp - as a whole - would look much better if it had Reinhart and Boychuk added to it. I don't want size solely for the sake of size - we have Carkner for that. And unfortunately Carkner is, what they call in French, le pylon. But adding defenders with some size to each D pairing makes me feel so much better.

Yup. Small skilled guys are fine as long as you have size and grit in the lineup too. And, by size I do not mean Carkner. I mean guys who can play a regular shift and contribute.

Guess we don't have to worry because we have Grabner's "snarl!"

Is this a whole thread dedicated to defining "snarl"? I only read the last two pages.

Is this what you guys get up to while I'm out of town?

We don't always argue about definitions. Sometimes we argue about Corsi too!

He won't throw them around but he won't back down from them, and he will draw them into a penalty, he's at the top of the league in drawing penalties. Usually by taking a punch in the face !!!

A good example of a guy whos not big but plays with "snarl".

I was on vacation. This place is hard to navigate on my phone. I've done it, but it annoys me a great deal.

Back from Europe, ready for the pre-season games to begin. I believe our first is in six days.

Do you have a blackberry, Jay (asking because you are a lawyer)? Five years ago every academic I knew had a Blackberry and now we've all switched primarily to iPhones (I have an Android, because I hate IOS). On those devices, Hfboards is not so bad.

Either way, hope you had a great vacation.

iPhone, I just don't like how slow I type and I can't read unless I can respond.
