Zach Stortini and J F Jacque

[Da McBomb]

Kinda curious what you guys think of Stortini.. I've never seen him play but I hear he's tough as hell.. perhaps Laraque's replacement for the future? How about Jacque.. I hear he's having a very good year.. Heres hoping that they pan out and become vital 3rd and 4th line players for the Oilers.. always need those kinda energy players on a championship team! Would like comments from people who've seen them play regularly

I agree with your post except the world championship team and Oilers should not be in the sentence for a very long time

I was impressed by Jacques during the first game of the Russia-Q Challenge. While his skillset is dirt simple and just barely good enough to get him into a 3rd/4th line role in the NHL, his weaknesses in that department aren't all that noticable due to his physical game. If the Oilers slot him on an energy line alongside a guy with similar power-forward abilities- Isbister would do- he'd be very, very effective.
