there r really no point in discussing Stewart/Petit in this board.... 99.9% of em already set their mind that they r busts but it's those who doesnt give him a chance without ever seeing him a game drives me nuts
so i'd recommend just ignore everything about them at this point and just check my highlights in my youtube channel for your eyes on him (channel is same name...im like the only one who gives a damn)
One thing i'd like to mention whats good about Stewart..(ive seen almost every game )
his biggest assets r his effortless skating. he can cover a lot of areas. his back skating is also good. can catch a lot of fast guys back paddling. obv this is still work in progress
uses his size very well along the boards..can really punish small players and knock them out
can fight check highlights
he's good on one on one. he uses his long stick to really disturb their move
though he can carry the puck to the neutral line okay, puck handling skill is poor
he tends to lose balance quite often when he bumps into another big player or make a hit (seen on his one leg quite often)
offensively limited
He was put in a 3rd line forward spot for ~15 games
did not looked out of pace for the most part and now back to the D and impressed me each game...
im a student at penn state. i'll try to get to a game to see how williamson looks.
please do so...the entire canucks hfboard depend on it!
