In fact I really thought that he would get to the point where he netted 5 or 6 goals a year. I thought Orr was pretty useless... This brings us up to present day and I feel like Hollweg is at the exact same spot if not weaker and Orr has improved his game DRAMATICALLY. He makes things happen now. I'm quite happy with him in the lineup. If you asked me about Orr and Hollweg a year ago I would have said that Hollweg had WAY more upside to his game.

But the truth is, he lost both. He wasn't KO'd or anything, but the loser just the same. WCS, I wasn't disagreeing with you there. I used to rag on him because he started as a pretty shitty fighter, and between he and Hollweg, we didn't have a chance once the gloves were dropped. But he has improved not only his fighting, but his skating as well. I definitely prefer him in the lineup for every single game. Especially in the playoffs, where things can get pretty chippy.

Do you think taking Orr out of the lineup would really screw up the chemistry that much? I'm not going to lose sleep over it but I just don't like to see a 25 year old with his kind of ability sitting in the press box.

And yes, we need him in the lineup in the playoffs-now that they only have 8 shifts a night, the 4th line has been productive.

That Laraque fight had to go to Orr, i think it was even, but Orr landed on top. The Parros fight was dead even. I dont know what your talking about. DOODIE

Peters threw a punch, but Orr threw back, even though it was a push, so they both get minors a piece, but the BS part about it is Mair also threw a shot from the bench, and they never called that. We should have gotten a PP but the way the refs were calling it, that wasn't happening. What a great game, i love it when the refs try to screw us out of it, but we manage to brawl for the win. As for Orr, i want him in the lineup in the playoffs. We need him there, not Hollweg. Im kinda hoping Straka retires, so Pruchs can take that spot. Im glad the team didn't give up on him yet. He's just having a bad year, and Renney is to blame for all of it. That's what happens when you put a 30 goal scorer on a line with an enforcer. You take a shit on his confidence, but hey, that's just my opinion. Either way that was a big win last night, but the next two games are MUST WIN GAMES. This is the last time we'll be up against two crappy teams like the Cats, and Bolts. If Nyr doesn't win, its gonna be bad. We gotta take advantage of these shitty teams.
