Title: Dunk around? Post by: MFAWG on January 02, 2010, 10:59:23 AM That is one farking awesome hockey team you guys got up there!
Curious to see how they fare against 'The Power' in the US division now that they have the scrub teams out of the way, LOL... Title: Re: Dunk around? Post by: Dunk on January 03, 2010, 05:13:46 PM The Blades have got a very balanced team, with no real big stars. I don't think they've got anyone among the league scoring leaders. They do however have a very big, physical defense, and their goaltending, especially Steven Stanford, is pretty strong. We got Stanford in a mid-season trade with the Prince Albert Raiders, and since then he is 14-1 with a 1.96 GAA.
They Blades didn't place any members on Canada's entry in the World Juniors, but Jiri Niemi in on Finland's team. Title: Re: Dunk around? Post by: MFAWG on January 04, 2010, 12:02:44 PM No scorer in the top 10 is what I heard, and I believe it. They look like they win a lot of 1-0 and 2-1 games.
Boyer should help with the Oh-Fence, There was a whole row of puck bunnies welcoming him back to Seattle, LOL... [sm_devil] What impressed me was that they do NOT turn the puck over. In 120 minutes, I didn't see a neutral zone turnover on their part. They also ALWAYS passed to a target, very little dump and chase. And when one of our guys touched the puck in their end, he was gonna get hit. Not dirty or sneaky, but hit. My sister would kill me if I didn't point out the cool sweaters as well: (http://www.nhlentrydraft2008.com/Assets/Photos/Niemi,-Jyri---Saskatoon-Blades.jpg) but what's up with weird 'Robocop' sock dealies?
