I was hoping for a better showing. That being said if the Titan keep an enforcer I hope they can find (or already have) a different guy cause IMO Legros doesn't cut it. Nobody really has any sort of enforcer that anybody needs to fear ... so all you really need is a 3rd line type of guy with some size that can hold his own against anybody. Can Legros take a regular shift in a checking role ? |

Can Legros take a regular shift in a checking role ? I don't think he can. He takes far too many stupid penalties to fill such a role. And, as mentioned, the fights he was in last night weren't great. I agree with chsb that we need a Bergeron-type player and we have no one within our organization in that mold right now (meaning a mix of size, skill and toughness). Mind you, those kinds of players are hard to come by anyways. |

Looked to be a mutual decision to be, I was caught offgaurd by the start...didn't realize who was in it until checking my lineup sheet. Brown looked decent out there and has good size.

I agree on the stupid penalties part, was in the corners flapping his elbows around for 2 minors.

Can Legros take a regular shift in a checking role ? Maybe not in the East division,but the West always has some pretty tough teams.....Victo will have Hennegan,McNeil.....Drum will have D.Bouchard(maybe Gaby Roch if they don't trade him),Rimouski has Dave Plante,Shawinigan has Johnson(hasn't proved anything yet but still)+newbie Ben Bakker,R-N has Bernard,Davey Shea etc..,Baie Comeau always has a few goons. Even in the East you know St-John;s will be tough...so will CB. I agree the "true" heavies barely exist anymore but I wouldn't say that you don't need somebody designated for the role.....all the teams I mentioned are teams that can intimidate your star or young players....having those 1-2 guys there to take care of the rough stuff will make your young players play with that much more confidence. |

I am hoping that Mallioux will fill the player/physical guy as he had 17 goals(many early in year) and had 11 majors(mostly fisticuffs).
Legros will need to show more control than last night as he seemed to be overhyped. Could be 1 of 13-14 forwards kkept in the early season as some players are off to NHL camps in Sept. Tesink is also more than capable if needed. Time will tell!

Fight recaps: 1- Legros-Boyle: Legros was looking for a fight all game and got one here. He was in Boyle's face for around 5 seconds challenging him and when he starts to turn away Boyle drops the gloves and connects with the 1st punch. Both players exchange a few more blows and fall to the ice with Boyle landing on top. Legros gets up pissed (IMO when you challenge guys like he did don't turn your back on them, slight victory for Boyle). 2- Lessard-Loudon: Lessard slashed Loudon earlier in the game and the Bathurst player was given it too him since. Both were in front of the net fighting for position then the gloves were off. Some decent punches for both players with no clear victor. 3- Lamoureux-Legros: Both players dropped gloves and went to center ice. Both guys threw a few decent punches but this was more of a wrestling match with both guys throwing jabs to body as neither could get a really good punch to the head (both players were holding on pretty good. (IMO boring draw). 4- Brown-Labelle: Clear victory for Labelle as Brown was dropped and when he came back up had blood coming from his nose/mouth and was shaking his head and swearing. All in all I score it 1 win for Moncton, 1 win for Bathurst and 2 draws. Legros didn't really impress me as he took some stupid penalties trying to get into a fight and when a Wildcat finally answered the Bell he didn't fair well. Looked foolish out there...all brash and brave and then flat on his face...poor showing. Thanks Seahwak. On the Brown - LaBelle fight ... was Labelle the instigator or was it more of a mutual decision ? Can't see a 16 YO looking to get into it with a 19 YO ... although sometimes these kids come into the league feeling they have to prove themselves and look to get that first fight out of the way. I doubt Flynn (or Irving) is too happy about him getting into a fight after what it took to convince him to report. They ran into each other at center ice and the gloves dropped immediately.......heat of the moment fight...... Boyle is yellow.....got a slight victory, maybe, but said no to Legros then when he turned away, clocked him in the side of the head.....not sure it would have turned out the same way if he had known he was gonna drop........Lamoureux/Legros had both guys landing 3 or 4 each, then they got tied up....boring.....Lounden lost to Lessard, imo....Lounden was slashing at Lessard for 10-15 seconds trying to get him to go, then couldn't back it up...... |

Don't you think your statement is just a little harsh usig the term"yellow" when a guy thats not trying out to be the enforcer gets challenged by a guy 35-40 lbs heavier carrys on the whole game.I'm not blaming Legros he's just tring to make a job for himself.I look at like a drag race usually they give an edge to the guy with the smaller motor to even things up at the end.I know I wouldn't like to go into the ring with a guy 40 lbs bigger then me. Yellow might better suit someone the same size that either won't go or goes around taking cheap shots.Some people might call grown men hidding behind usernames calling out kids on discussion boards as yellow. In the end it will all shake out.

Not exactly what you would call gentlemanly or sportmanslike. |
