Quick Notes on Porter


I was at the San Antonio-Houston AHL game last night (March 3) and got the chance to talk to a local who has pretty good hockey knowledge and he gave me the following report on Kevin Porter:

  • Fans will like him.
  • Fast, Hustles
  • Hard working
  • Will fit in Sacco's system
  • The only knock on him so far in his career is that he's had trouble finishing.

That’s what Mrs@MHH said.

Zing.

Forever grateful that Joe Sakic isn't a douche bag like Brett Favre.

Finish

can be tought. Hustle and hard work can’t. If the kid is willing to put in the hours, I’m sure he will flourish next year when he gets a legit chance to log some minutes. If Mueller puts in 6 goals and 5-15 assists to wrap up the season he has to be called a sucess too. Both players appear to be pumped to be out of Phoenix and into Prospect central. GO AVS!

Glad to be Gone

IN the in-game interview and the clip on AD’s blog, he did seem to be struggling to be polite about where he had been. Kinda’ thinking if he is given Wolski’s opportunities on PP and played on comparable lines, the low numbers will rise considerably.

  • Isn’t Darcy Tucker

SOLD.

i was going to say something to the effect of “so long as he doesn’t fall on his ass once a game I’m sold.” but you beat me to it.

I said it in the thread last night, but if the Avalanche were the Mighty Ducks……Tucker would be Averman. Useless on the ice but has some kind of morbid entertainment value.

Be glad you sailed for a better day, but don't forget there will be Hell to pay!

I liked Averman… he gave me fuel to annoy my father to no end. I would quote him endlessly when he wouldn’t let me do something I wanted. Worked too.

Bullets 1 through 4

Sounds like the anti-Hensick.

And with the 32nd pick in the 2009 NHL draft, the Red Wings select: Someone other than Ryan O'Reilly. LOL@Detoilet.

And they both have the Michigan connection, you may be onto something…

you must mean the anti-Hensuck…

No such thing as a hockey fan... only hockey fanatics!
GO AVS!!!

See: David Jones (until this year)…dang I miss him

Advice to Red Wing Fans: If you don't want the reputation of being whiners, then stop whining about EVERYTHING. Your team is allowed to lose games, and when they do, it's not always because of the refs or Gary Bettman, and you seem to continuously claim

by chiavsfan on Mar 4, 2010 1:52 PM MST reply actions  

When you look up and down the phoenix roster you don’t see too many good passers, that could work in his favor here.

Can you imagine what this team would be like with Jones? He has the worst injury luck ever.

by wolski-08 on Mar 4, 2010 6:51 PM MST up reply actions  

How many shots does everyone expect outta Wolski tonight?

Honestly cant say if he will score but I’m expecting about 6ish shots

Depends.

Will they stick on the fourth line where Mueller was?

by Rapierwhitt on Mar 4, 2010 2:36 PM MST up reply actions  

More than the Avs in the 1st period last night.

by HugoAgogo on Mar 4, 2010 2:52 PM MST up reply actions  

Duchene had 7 SOG last game...

I predict

More turnovers than shots. Going out on a limb, I know.

Sounds like he’ll fit in fine rollseyes
