January 23rd, 2004.

Of course leading the hit chart while being last in the league means nothing. If you can bring the pain to some of the other teams best players, as a dman or as a forechecker, go for it.

 

[We Want Ten]

Goal!

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

That play by Jones.....sick.

 

[DJA]

Wild Bill is the man

 

[Doggy]

Nice centering pass by Jones and the one time shot by Karlsson to tie the game up. Jones looked like a forward on that play.

 

[MAHJ71]

Jones! One hell of a play!

 

[Doggy]

We made it to the second page

 

[Dednimnepo]

I like watching Jones play.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Wow. Jones with another nice play and gets off a nice shot. Kid is going to be a beast.

 

[The Four Seven]

I feel like we had no business scoring on that play. That passing lane was clogged, yet Jones threaded the needle and Wild Bill got off the shot. A lot of talent and a bit of luck there.

 

[Jaxs]

Jones TRD. The real deal.

Great combo.

I guess my point would be if hits mattered that much, should we be the last team in the league? I agree with your point and I am not saying I am anti-hitting in the slightest, I just don't see it being a big deal statwise.

Anyone think Werenski turns pro after this school year and joins the CBJ before the end of the season? Would hate to see him bur a year off his ELC for a handful of meaningless games.

I'd like to see him sign but not crazy about burning a year for a few games at the end of the season. But having him signed would be good.

Hits come when you can't get control of the puck, that is, the hitter gets there a fraction of a second later than the hittee.

 

[cbjfaninmo]

Gotta love Jones

 

[We Want Ten]

We have to lead the league in icing as well.

I should have explained myself better. I agree that most hits don't mean much in hockey. The big hits that have an effect on the play are what I'm talking about. A dman with an open ice hip check on a forward coming one on one, or a forward plastering a dman going back to retrieve a puck in his own end. Those hits can change momentum or make the hitee think twice about the next similar situation.

Agreed.

I like the idea of putting all 3 captains on the same line, force them to work together and everyone (should) follow

After watching him play a little tonight and the games against the Bucks a couple of weeks ago, his defensive zone play is no where near pro level yet. He has to start sometime, but that may be asking a lot from him now. He would be eligible to play for LEM I believe and someone may know better if he is able to slide and still have three years on his ELC if he plays for LEM
