Podein25 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I really liked what Sestito brings to the table..Most of us are surprised Sestito - or you for that matter - can even find the table, what with all the knuckle-dragging and mouth-breathing going on. Quote

Podein25 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) @orange_crushLOL, fair enough.Actually, I'm on record for liking Sestito. Big guy with hands, we are told. But he needs to work on his foot speed. If he does, he might even play a regular shift in the NHL some day. Edited July 10, 2012 by Podein25 1 Quote

If he does, he might even play a regular shift in the NHL some day.yeah, he's much better in his capacity then say Shelley. at least Tom can play a little hockey. Shelley just skates in circles yapping at guys to try to get them to fight. Tom can actually agitate with his physical play and if he isn't hitting or fighting, he could potentially log some decent 4th line minutes, as opposed to the 2-4 TOI his role usually gets. 1 Quote
Podein25 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) @SpinoramaI've only seen glimpses so far though. He looked slow and plodding to me the one time I saw him play. IMO if you can't skate these days you don't have a chance to stay in the bigs. The game has just gotten too fast. Edited July 10, 2012 by Podein25 Quote

I know that would make me look slow....... Quote
Podein25 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 @flyerrodDunno, if so, yeah I suppose. I don't think I ever had one, not that I know of, but it must hamper the ol' engine a bit. Quote

He hits, a better fighter, young, can skate fast enough to actually hit someone. Good move. Quote
