Looks like our best bets at this point with some success may be Breen or Allicock but i don't think Alicock is ready for the heavy weights just yet... Breen will have to take the heavy weights and Allicock the middle weights for now. I do however agree that we have a pretty tough team and each could probably hold there own.

Anthony Peluso tried to get Allicock to drop 'em, but Kain just grinned and skated away. Smart move on his part at the time. johnt.....please elaborate?? Why was it "smart at the time"?? |

i wasn't there but i'll elaborate...Allicock who have had his arse handed to him...Peluso's IMO the heavyweight champ right now and Allicock's only a middleweight. Allicock's tough and a good fighter but Peluso would cream him.

What D.J. said is absolutely true. Besides that, my earlier comment primarily referred to the fact that Kain would have been ejected from the game for fighting (preseason rule). I thought he had been playing a very good game (had a goal) and we needed his presence on the ice. As I recall, it occurred late in the 2nd period.

I do however agree that we have a pretty tough team and each could probably hold there own. i agree. we have breen, mcdonough, and allicock who are sure bets to handle the fighting, yet we also have jordan szwarz whom i feel is seriously underestimated when it comes to the toughness issue. he had 4 fights i think last year and was victorious in each. pleckaitis will go, but im not sure how good he will be. combs if forced will go, and then there are the newer guys whom we have no idea yet. saginaw native welch (or is it welsh?) is supposed to be a physical stay at home type. who knows, maybe he might like the odd tussle. hell, i didnt know fletcher was a fighter until his one fight with i think it was carcillo. until then he was relatively quiet. it will be fun to wait and see. |

i definitely don't underestimate swartz as far as toughness...i just don't want to see him off the ice for 5 minutes.

Thats a good point Don.. Do you think that may make him more complete which would improve his chances of advancing his career.. I would love for him to be a Steve Downie type of player, although I think he has more upstairs then Steve.

I would love for him to be a Steve Downie type of player, although I think he has more upstairs then Steve. ive been pretty good with my predictions at red wings central, so im gonna give one now. i predict that someday you will see jordan szwarz playing in the NHL. there is just something about this kid. he has scoring talent. he reads the ice fairly well. he can throw some mean hits, and obviously isnt afraid to throw down. now yes there are probably alot of ohler's who fit that description, but how many earned that kind of description in his rookie campaign? |

I don't know if you guys remember all the talk about the goon we picked up last year but never saw the ice. Well, Steve Natywary now is in fight-filled LNAH and he got his first fight last week. He gets his butt kicked but it's nice that this guy actually existed...here's the clip: www.hockeyfights.com/fights/45604 |
