SiouxScore Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 2 hours ago, I Ranger said: I get that Wilkie hasn't produced yet but I just don't get why most just want to jump to put Olson back in who has done absolutely nothing for a year longer and is a junior. I'm sorry but he can't skate at this level. There's no doubt Wilkie is fighting the puck and the game is a little quick for him but his upside is much higher than Olson. Olson brings a physical presence and at least adds something to the lineup while Wilkie really isn't adding anything right now. 2 Quote
SiouxScore Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 Really solid weekend can definitely see some guys starting to take steps forward in their game that we've been hoping for. Quote

I don't agree with that st all. Wilkie is in a funk right now. He didn't play bad this weekend though. I saw him working pretty hard. Quote

I'm so torn on Olson. Lays some big energizing hits, but that in turn brings some dumb penalties. Quote

Big deal he runs into people. Let me know when his physical presence creates anything other than a penalty on himself. Quote

burd Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 The fact is they have to play the game as the rules permit. I like a big hit, but with modern rules enforcement, the times of "oohhs" and "aahhs" hits is pretty much a thing of the past. So called "old style hockey" is just that--old style. The game is still physical, but speed, skill, and hard work win the games for you. Even more so at the FF. The smart teams understand that. 1 Quote
Fetch Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 Wilkie does not really work hard on the boards or corners - kinda wants to be a Boeser but can't get any shots to go in Quote
