A power forward is Iginla, Lucic, Horton, Getzlaf, etc
And Kassian, hopefully! :fullofwin:

Definition from Wikipedia.

Quote:
In ice hockey, power forward (PF) is a loosely applied characterization of a forward who is big and strong, equally capable of playing physically or scoring goals and would most likely have high totals in both points and penalties.[1] It is usually used in reference to a forward who is physically large, with the toughness to dig the puck out of the corners, possesses offensive instincts, has mobility, puck-handling skills,[2][3] may be difficult to knock off the puck[4] and willingly engage in fights when he feels it's required.[5] Possessing both physical size and offensive ability, power forwards are also often referred to as the 'complete' hockey player.[6][7]
Some people call Mike Richards a power forward. So I just assume power forwards are players who plays both physical and has a finesse side in scoring.

Using dragonball comparison.

Super Saiyan - Kesler / Booth
Super Saiyan 2 - Iginla / Lucic / Getzlaf

lol

They are all super saiyans. Just one is more powerful. hahahaa

Booth is no super saiyan. He's like a Krillen at best right now.

Same but it's more realistic than getting Weber :ilied:

dont get your hopes too high for doan... if doan is coming that means the rise of the nords/seattle franchise will be forming in the near future

i actually did.lol .but I re read and was like "oh shit i know someone did that on RS"
haha

RS taught me how to spell resign and re-sign

:woot2:

Gumby 07-09-2012 02:55 PM
Unfortunately, players "retire", while coaching staff & management are the ones who "resign"...

I personally learnt it's "could/should/would have"
not "could/should/would of"

A power forward is a strong skater who chooses to take the puck hard to the net every time, and will battle to go around a D to get there.


mason raymond and hank sedin, for example, are the complete opposite of a power forward. neither one have ever carried the puck any deeper than the top of the circle along the boards


this is a power forward

fliptuner 07-09-2012 08:42 PM
I'm surprised there hasn't been much talk about Higgins. He was very solid throughout the year, aside from his staph infection(s). I'm glad we have him back this coming season. If he plays the same or better, it's definately 1.9M well spent

It only sounds like "of" because people say "should've, could've, would've" - as a contraction - or slang, "shoulda, coulda, woulda"

IMO Rick Nash is more of a finesse type player. IMO power forwards are big, not afraid to get their nose dirty type guys who score, know how to hit, and also fight occasionally. Guys that come to mind are Lindros, Shanahan, Bertuzzi in his prime, and more recently Perry, Lucic, and Iginla.

Booth is as close of a "Power Forward" that we have. He does cut hard to the net like that various times... but of course, he has no where near the finish or the hands like Nash.

:ahwow: I'm like semi-mind blown right now :fulloffuck:
I've never thought of it like that... maybe that's why I used to always say "should of"

JesseBlue 07-09-2012 09:26 PM
i learnt that correctly in grammar school...

RRxtar 07-09-2012 09:31 PM
Agreed that Booth is the closest thing we have to a power forward. And Higgins is Mr Reliable. If he has a healthy season hes an awesome guy who can fit well on the 2nd or 3rd line

AzNightmare 07-09-2012 11:27 PM

Was YouTubing random David Booth stuff. :fullofwin:
