Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?fid=10460&hubname= I feel bad for Todd Fedoruk, he hasent been the same since he left Anaheim and got his face broken by Boogaard. I think Florida, Montreal or Anaheim are gonna pick him up. If he ever get's his game back, he'll be a good gritty forward for the 3rd/4th line that can play the PK and fight too. If he doesnt re-find his game, he's still a pretty good enforcer. Edited November 19, 2007 by Detroit # 1 Fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he doesnt re-find his game, he's still a pretty good enforcer. Ummm, I'm sorry, but what are you talking about? Are you referring to the same Todd Fedoruk that I am thinking of? If he can't re-find his game, then he's still a pretty good enforcer? What game is it that he is trying to re-find? When has he ever been more than just an enforcer. I suppose he had a whopping 5 goals in his rookie year and he had 23 points a couple of years ago, but I still don't understand what you are getting at. Oh he can play the PK....really? I'm not sure anyone else in the NHL knows that. Have you actually watched the guy play? Out of interest, here is his PK time per game per year in his career: 00/01 - 0 seconds per game 01/02 - 3 seconds per game 02/03 - 0 seconds per game 03/04 - 1 second per game 05/06 - 1 second per game 06/07 - 2 seconds per game 07/08 - 2 seconds per game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ever since last year, he hasent done a whole lot of anything, but I still think someone will pick him up. If nothing else he's a pretty good utility player.

Anyways, it is sad to see but hopefully he does find "his game" again. His game being a 20 point heavyweight enforcer who can easily take a regular shift on the 3rd and 4th lines and take on anyone in the league. I hope for the best... I hope Montreal takes a crack at him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skiing - Puck 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2007 Starting for Sorel Tracy!!!! lol LNAH Action! Won't happen, the LNAH now requires that incoming players for the league be born in Quebec. Fedoruk was born in Redwater, Alberta. Make it happen kenny You gave the reason it won't happen, its Kenny. After all he belives our power play is our enforcer.

Also, I found his comment curious as it seems like he just made it up. In terms of easily taking a regular shift on the 3rd line....NO CHANCE. He's a 6-8 minutes a game guy. If he wasn't a fighter, he wouldn't be in the league. He's not even a great fighter. Edited November 19, 2007 by toby91_ca Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's a 6-8 minutes a game guy....capable of 20 points a year and he was a great fighter.. until last year's beat downs he was probably a top 10 guy in the league... and he has had some boring fights not but he also had a good showing against Shawn Thornton this year who is definitely no slouch Edited November 19, 2007 by skacore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skacore 2 Report post Posted November 19, 2007 Fundamental lack of talent. lack of raw talent sure, but he is one of the few enforcers (Laraque being another) that actually know how to use their size to their advantage and get a strong cycle going... if a guy like Tom Kostopolous can play 10-12 minutes a game in Montreal theres no reason Fedoruk can't Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted November 19, 2007 I would have loved to have this guy a few years ago, but at this point I'm more content with Downey than Fedoruk. He's been hurt too much the last few years to be where he once was as an enforcer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
