Player Discussion: Adam Fantilli

[squashmaple]

Of course mature players are getting the nod over literal teenagers. Why is this controversial?

 

[Marioesque]

That sucks for Adam, he really wanted to get some games under his belt but it's understandable that Team Canada will favor someone who is more game ready and more experienced.

because they're my teenagers, dammit

So Nash chose past CBJ Dubois over current CBJ Fantilli and future CBJ Celebrini. Very interesting…

Because PLD sucks now

The key word is "mature"

The jury still seems out on that with PLD.

Pld is mature … serious question

 

[Ice9]

Nash doesn't want Fantilli injured so when CBJ stuns the league and hires him as GM he'll have him ready to roll...

This is all on you!

I was thinking maybe a reverse jinx would work since literally nothing else involving the lottery in the history of this franchise ever has.

I blame you for the lottery result

I like hearing he's gonna spend the summer working out with Z.

So hes gonna have weak shoulders?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Fantilli changes to #19

Is it just me or does this feel like deceptive marketing to have Fantilli show up at the Blue Line to sign autographs and offer people 40% off anything that has his old number on it? They better be letting fans know he has changed his number because I am sure there are many fans who don't already know.

I think old number gear is cool in a hipster way. Proof that you were "all in" on a guy early on. If I saw a Kent Johnson #13 jersey on someone I would think it's really cool and rare.

Yeah but this is after the fact...he announced he was changing numbers awhile ago. I think the CBJ should have given fans a discount to get the number changed on the jersey they bought in the past year.

Personally, it's why I never put a number on my jersey...just blank on the back. Been thinking about stealing an idea I saw last year in Nashville. A couple with Blues jerseys had "Road Trippin" on the name plate and stitched on the logos for all the away venues they had been to. I would already be up to eight (Montreal, Boston, NY Rangers, Islanders (two different barns), Philly, Pittsburgh, Florida and Tampa).

If it's his fault they have to do a close out and a new run, then he should at least participate in the clearance.

On high-profile players it used to be almost customary to offer that discount on alternations.

When JMFJ came in and wore #7, didn’t they replace the nameplates for free on jersies of he-who-shall-not-be-named?

They did; it's why I refuse to refer to him as anything other than The Former #7.

good company

 

[S1N4TR4]

man.

just 5 goals in 27 games this season. 13 points.

what more do we need to do to get adam going? sophomore slump?

thru his first 76 games in the NHL he has 40 points which isn’t terrible for such a youngin’ but this season he just seems lost more times than not. gripping stick too hard, overthinking.. I have no idea
