Q isn't the one making Stalberg skate faster. I would say he has gotten more comfortable on NHL ice. Despite his age, he was always more of a longterm prospect given that he went the college route. He has found more ways to use his speed this year and more comfortable with the puck on his stick.

At what stage of Bolland's career did he get 5 years for nearly 17M? Hmmm.

Heard on sports radio this morning that Viktor is using a new stick, Lepisto's stick, which has a different length and lie, and that has made the difference we've seen very recently with his improved play. He is carrying the puck closer to his body and handling it better. He definitely seems like a new guy in the last few games.

They should get Frolik a new stick

Apparently Stalberg is a bad ass now.

couldn't hurt.


Stalberg has looked beastly the past few games. Been hossa-like with the puck.

Something they will try to kill in the next CBA. Second contracts getting the same leery look as entry level deals did way back in first lockout days.

Of course that doesn't mean they will succeed.

Bolland still was overpaid... and he was younger and has more strengths than being fast


but I like the way you argue and talk. you hate a few guys and bring them up every now and then but you can't understand how it's possible to hate a guy like Brouwer or some others

I understand it just fine, I disagree with the viewpoint.

He doesn't need a new stick. He needs a bus ticket out of here.

Yeah, Frolik can't shoot, plain and simple. That's a major problem for a forward with very little size.

Frolik is Bowmans biggest mistake... better said the contract extension. Getting him for Skille was a good move
