good one. he plays zero defense. never has no. terrible comparison.

Kanes major value at this point is on PP. He is awful on defense, just does not care and his physical ailments took away his speed and quickness. the question is not kane or olofson it is olofson or one of the younger players. Kane is not a great guy in locker room either. gets pissy when he is not playing enough. he did not wow, he played a ton on an awful team and put up some stats. He is allergic to defense and not a great teammate. We have no place for him to play. Thank god.

He is incredible and the best d in the league. Other teams game plan around trying to stop him. His power play QBing is enough, but he is the full package. His edge work is as good as anyone in league.

What a silly topic that has been talked to death. SB automatic 1 week suspension for posting this

True, but irrelevant to this thread. Topic: is Thompson a top 10 center? His inability to win draws rules him out as a top ten. Hopefully he is figuring out a new strategy and doing constant drills to improve.

In order to be considered with the top centers, he needs to improve his faceoffs. he is abysmal. you need someone else to take important draws.

Kane needs to learn where his own zone is. he has been awful for at least two years now. he is the king of making a change instead of backchecking

The 8-game streak without a point is the killer. just a couple OT losses and we were in.

Federov could have been one of great all time dmen. he and Lidstrom could have played half the game each.

Achilles is not as big a deal for a hockey player as it would be for about any other sport. That said, it heals slowly and at its own pace. Count on the 6 months plus time in Rochester to get timing and legs back. This stinks. Let's be positive though, better than shoulder injury.

Maybe the focus on women's sports they announced is not working out...

this is Frank Christie!!!!!!!!!

In summer Frank would work at war memorial for Jacobs senior. Jeremy was assigned to Franks team. They would count out eighteen peanuts per bag (or something like that) I think to mix into popcorn. Jeremy refused to do it and would just throw a couple of handfuls in. Senior asked Frank how it was going, and he told him about Jeremy. Senior said to fire him. The next day he told jeremy to put in 18 peanuts. He refused and he told him he could not use him anymore. Jeremy ran to his father who unloaded on him. Jeremy came back apologized and counted 18 till end of summer. Frank said he was only person to ever fire a Jacobs.
