Over the last few weeks I've heard/seen a few comments along the lines of "Keep Martinook, trade Ferland. They're the same player and Martinook is cheaper". I feel stupid just for quoting that.
Yeah. That's ridiculous to the point of stupid. Martinook is a great team guy and a good depth player. He gives you energy and has a dynamic personality. He just doesn't; have Ferland's level of oomph on the ice, not to mention his goal scoring. Ferland is a malevolent player. Martinook is like a hyperactive Mastiff pup ... active, willing, big enough to do some damage, but not ultimately going to break anything. Or anybody.
What started the fight with Ferland and Watson? The puck was at the other end of the ice, I heard a stick and helmet hit the ice in front of me and saw Ferland made a beeline to the wall.

I also wonder what the PP% breakdown is without his hands of feet mishandling the puck.

It was inevitable. Pro Hockey Talk has ranked the Storm Surges.

I'm sure Pierre McPlankton will weigh in at some point. Off the subject, but whoever originally came up with the Pierre McPlankton crack I would like to personally thank. My son and I both laugh our arses off every time we think about that..
