I think a big part of ferland's success in junior is that he was bigger than a lot of the other kids. I see him having a few lessons fighting in the nhl against more technical guys like prust.

Sure technique can always be improved but you can't teach knockout power.

And that technique will be improved when Ferland gets to work with Hartley's fighting coach this training camp

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like a dick with the question. The fighting you mentioned is impressive but my point should have been that it is totally different than this type of fighting.

And yes I have, but not for many years.

I don't think Ferland was ever supposed to be a 'fighter' anyway. More of a pest. Sure he can handle himself when he needs, but you don't put him out to start fights. You put him out to draw penalties, charge up the team with a hit.

I am very excited at the idea of sending Ferland over the boards to put some pressure on the oppositions dmen. And then have that follow up with Bouma. Should make it difficult.

Darth Hartley - "W"e must move quickly. The Oilers and Canucks are relentless. If they are not all destroyed, it will be civil war without end. First, I want you to go to Edmonton and destroy Conner McSlurpee. We will catch them off balance. Then head to Vancouver and wipe out the Sedins"

Darth Furkland - "Yes my master"

Darth Hartley - "Once more the Flames will rule Western Canada and we will have victory"
