Joffrey Lupul: Lightweight Floater?

[Deathsdoorstep]

This guy can shoot the puck, but he always loses 1 on 1 battles, and is easy as pie to move off the puck.

If I were to call him a lightweight floater, would I be being an unjust meanie?

I don't really see him as a floater but he isn't a power forward plain and simple. I still don't understand why he isn't playing with someone like Hemsky who can feed him because he is a shooter.

Horcoff loses every one-on-one battle and is easy to move off the puck as well.

Yep.... this is why He is my 4th line center or he is benched.. Phil Kessel is much better..... then again this is NHL 07 I'm refering to

Not disagreeing. I thought my hatred for #10 was well known already.

Yeah, well I just like to get my shots in. He turns over the puck on the PP more than anyone I've ever seen. It's ridiculous...

Havlat's breakaway yesterday was because of a boneheaded play by Horcoff.

Yup. Canny disagree with your assessment of the guy. He plays like a girl.

With Smyth and Moreau out of the lineup, we lose a lot of grit up front.

can someone tell me what the love in that MacT has for Toby Peterson ? he's -5 , getting more playing time (sometimes) than Sykora, is always on the PK... what is the love affair with him ?

Hemsky's been pretty bad with that in the past as well ...has gotten better this year, though.

Most likely because he is a solid player in his defensive zone and isn't afraid to throw his weight around despite his size. That's my guess...that and the man-love.

That talked to MacT about this on Sportsnet last night. He reemed out some other players as well.
