Both Rubins and Ostir played last night.<br /><br /><br />Craven - 2 weeks<br />Hollett - 3 weeks<br />Shaw indefinite, but he has mentioned he plans to go to Minnesota in march to see what doctors say.<br /><br />-------------------------------<br /><br /><br />Quenneville is both a weapon that a team needs to win, and a potential weakness that another team can exploit. I think this is common knowledge to any hockey fan with any degree of hockey sense.<br /><br />You need those guys to win as long as their weaknesses are minimized. (that's the coaches job) <br /><br />IMO Quenneville is great junior player, but in terms of pro potential their is a barrier with his size/skating and defensive game.<br /><br />Yes he needs significant improvement in that area if he wants to be a pro. I hope he gets signed, but I won't be surprised if it doesn't happen and he goes back into the draft.<br /><br />-----------------<br />I feel that Rassell has been trying extra hard lately to score goals, and I could see frustrations in his game prior to the Edmonton game, which is rare to see.<br /><br />I hope he can enjoy the last 8 games and have fun rather than worrying about the potential stress of reaching 50 goals. <br /><br /> <br /><br />TigerTurfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359764110928059937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328410439347632491.post-13775275228803725392018-02-28T15:56:24.423-07:002018-02-28T15:56:24.423-07:00Rubins played yesterday.

No where did I say that he was Cale Clague or Connor Hobbs. I said that he is great on the power play which we agree on however I didn't say anything about his 5 on 5 play. <br />I know his skating abilities are not great. I never once said he has NHL potential. Quenneville is not a dynamic defensemen however for a whl defensemen Ill take him on my team any day. <br />You basically made up a bunch of stuff that I never once said. <br />Ill agree with you though if he was a dynamic skater he could have a pro chance but the fact that he is small and slow doesn't go well for him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328410439347632491.post-14484939200401039882018-02-28T08:38:30.038-07:002018-02-28T08:38:30.038-07:00Ok anon 8:19, Quenneville is a 19 year old, drafte...Ok anon 8:19, Quenneville is a 19 year old, drafted dman and you're telling me his numbers are good enough for how highly talented he's supposed to be? I don't buy it!! Compare his numbers to a Cale Clague or even a Connor Hobbs from Regina last year, not even close. It also indicates that he can only put up numbers on the powerplay (that's great), but again means he's an average dman especially 5 on 5. Watch his skating abilities, they are below average and if anyone thinks he's NHL quality, that's not happening. He will honestly be lucky to sign a contract and that will only happen because of his numbers, he will never play higher than the AHL and he will struggle there too.

So think about all the times he has gotten a powerplay point and take that out of the equation. His plus minus rating doesn't look so bad no does it. It is a +4 which really isn't awful when you look how low a couple of our dmen are.

On the debate about Q, he is not the dynamic superstar that fans thinks he is. He is a defensive liability on the ice, however he has a good shot and the game is won in the defensive zone especially in the playoffs. Just look at his plus minus rating, it's pathetic for the points he has. Fans love him cuz he showboats all the time and that's fine if you can back it up.

He makes a lot of heads up passes and just think how many of rassell's breakaways were a result of good passes from Q. He has great patience that may get him in trouble occasionally but more often than not makes a good play. Then you have his ability to shoot the puck on the PP. I'll take him on my team any day. You can't have a full team of guys like him but when you have one it sure is nice.

Only the best 16 year olds have that ability and I believe there is only 2 or 3 of those guys. <br />You can never write off a 16 year old. It's to early. For example <br />Hamblin at 16: 2 goals and 1 assist<br />Hamblin at 17: 23 goals and 24 assists<br /><br />Chyzowski at 16: 5 goals and 7 assists<br />Chyzowski at 17: currently at 18 goals and 26 assists<br /><br />Williams I believe is way better than both those guys were at 16 and the numbers show that. Obviously it's no guarantee but I could see Williams putting up 25 goals next year. <br /><br />Would Williams still go 5th overall maybe not however that is the way the draft goes. Some guys develop differently.

He likes to hang high and cheat and is not strong on the backcheck or defensive play. He doesn't make his linemates better as he needs someone to feed him and do the work. He skates and shoots well but for our biggest forward 6'2 188lbs, he is not physical. No one is on the Tigers.<br /><br />He would not be chosen 5th overall today if the WHL draft were done over but he would still be in the first round. <br /><br />On another topic, is anyone tired of Clueless and the dump and chase the Tigers play? How about how many breakaways we give up every game.<br /><br />the most important thing we should discuss is about that we need a new coach<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
