Who else on the Friars plays a more complete game?

"He's playing, if not the most, the second most minutes on our team consistently," head coach Nate Leaman told CalgaryFlames.com recently.

"Every night, he's playing in every situation. He's pretty much out at the last minute of the game, whether we're up by a goal or down by a goal.

The coach speaks very highly of him, but the situations the coach elects to use the player tells the whole story. When the team needs a goal, Jankowski gets leaned on. When the team is protecting a lead, Jankowski gets leaned on. When the game is on the line in any shape or form, Jankowski is leaned on. You tell me what that says about the kid. When the kid is out there in every key situation it says who the best player for the job is.

I haven't the foggiest what you meant by pie in the sky "be s" either. I've been pretty rational about Jankowski. Said he needs to improve offensively and engage physically more, also noted that his two way game and ability in the face off dot are two areas he's ahead of the game. Saying he won't be in the NHL for 7 years after being drafted is a little silly too. It's possible after his 4th year he gets cups of coffee after turning pro, like Colborne did etc. Personally I think there is an outside chance he turns pro next summer.

The 11th round is the first time I've cast my vote for Jankowski, so I'm obviously not over the moon for him, I just think your constant negativity is a little too much and after you've exhausted yourself you tend to break down into childish posts, like the one above.

You'd be better off if you actually watch his games with any consistency and look to posters like sureLoss who have put his numbers into proper context. Though I realize ignoring those posts is easier for you.

Well at least you're coming to some sense of reality but your obsession with Jankowski seems unhealthy to me.

Your ignorance of Jankowski and the Friars is just embarrassing. If you knew anything of the Friars and the situation Jankowski is cast in, you might be worth listening to. But you arguments are uniformed and weak. They are just juvenile garbage you would expect from an Oiler fan. Points, points and points are the only way you measure a player and his development. It's just freaking weak soup. There is more to player development than scoring goals and assists. If that's all it took Robbie Schremp would be a superstar.

uh, another one with an unhealthy obsession with Jankowski who can't take any criticism without flying off the handle.

This has always been my thoughts about this prospect. You've chosen to twist my thoughts to make it easier on yourself. You need someone on the other end of your extreme spectrum.

And yes, talking about a Flames prospect, on a Flames messageboard, in a thread about prospects is unhealthy, you've nailed me. It's a shame this is how it always ends with you, you acting like a complete and total child. You're boring and the worst part of it, ignorant.

Yeah, stick it up your you know what.

And you love Colborne, as most of us do, so should be happy if Janko takes as long and turns out as well

This is why anytime I mention "Jankowski" MMF comes running to his defence. It's getting hilarious actually.

Yeah, I will be. I'm just in doubt that he can reach Colborne's level. After all this arguing it seems like I don't like Jankowski. I do like him just not at the uncritical level some around here do.

It's because you don't know what you are talking about! How many times did you watch a Friars' game last season? How many games did you catch, and how?

Arnold is grossly underrated

Very much so. The unfortunate thing for Arnold, and in the same breath Agostino, is he is projected to be a bottom six player, and the Flames have a whack of players that could end up in those same roles. Arnold is going to have to complete with a ton of players to earn a job.

Who is he a better prospect than that has already been taken? Hes probably somewhere around Knight and Agostino and I think all 3 of them will go pretty close together.

A couple of times through I think illegal means or the opposing teams broadcast. I admit watching that team is worse entertainment than watching the Wild so it was hard to pay attention and it was pretty hard to tell when Jankowski was on the ice because he never stood out.

A very illuminating post.

"I watched the game with Jankowski, but it was boring so I didn't pay attention LOLz"

Dude just give it up. Your points aren't even points anymore.

I've seen probably 15-20 of each season, highlights of most of the other games I've missed. Also been fortunate enough to watch him in his first two prospect camps, I missed this year totally but he was injured so did not compete anyway. I've been able to see the progress he's made from season to season, month to month, game to game etc. I've watched his responsibilities quickly grow with the Friars and how heavily his coach relies on him now, in all situations.

Just to reiterate, you've seen him twice, out of the almost eighty games he's played and in those two games you didn't pay attention because the game was boring?

Yikes. That might be the most damning statement I've seen on Calgarypuck in a long time.

Take it to PM guys.

I love it when people make up what they think I said. That's sarcasm if you aren't able to pick it up. It shows your bias. I said it was hard to pay attention not that I didn't pay attention.
