mmamolo 287 Report post Posted April 19, 2011 Dont get me wrong, Skinner was a beast, but Couture will get a lot of attention as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finnish Wing 110 Report post Posted April 19, 2011 I'm definitely on the Justin Bie... I mean Jeff Skinner bandwagon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted April 19, 2011 How come? Just curious. Since we faced them in the SCF, I developed an extreme hatred and it has carried on, couple that with the fact they always seem to ice at least a few major d-bags and it keeps the hatred going...

wingslogo19 281 Report post Posted April 19, 2011 Couture will win because he's from the West. IMO the West is more followed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feldmarschall 9 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 Not the sexiest pick, but I like Grabner for it. He scored his ass off on a weak team, and was one of only three guys on the Isles to run a +. Skinner and Couture got some nice linemates - Grabner got what, Frans Nielsen? 2 Aussie_Wing and Klunzo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MulesWillFly93 199 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 Kind of surprised not to see James Reimer on there. I know, right? Which other rookie has his own song? And with Autotune, no less! I'm gonna go with Skinner. Nice point about Grabner, though; he's done a lot with no help at all. Skinner just sticks out in my mind, though, from a non-scientific perspective.

Skinner and Couture got some nice linemates - Grabner got what, Frans Nielsen? Yeah, and together they form one of, if not the deadliest penalty killing combos in the league. 13 shorties between them. I'm just pimping a fellow Dane right now, but Frans is a decent player.

I'm just pimping a fellow Dane right now, but Frans is a decent player. He isn't even 80 overall in NHL 11. How could he be a good player? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
