If he's used as an agitator and an energy player he can do a great job. Fighting is not one of his strengths, but character and motivation are. Also if I recall correctly, some analysis showed that he tended to drive the play in the right direction more often than most gave him credit for. Here's hoping he finds regular NHL employment!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709439985960510321.post-62373576060350465202011-09-27T11:31:58.784-05:002011-09-27T11:31:58.784-05:00As an Oiler fan, I've seen a lot of Zack Stort...As an Oiler fan, I've seen a lot of Zack Stortini. I'm hoping that he finds a job there with the Predators and stays in the NHL. He's one of the hardest working players in the league. He has his faults though. He's a terrible fighter, and most guys in the league know it. Despite that fact, and despite that he "showed restraint" in this game, he never backs down from anyone. He has a lot of pride. I am surprised that he didn't drop the gloves, because here in Edmonton, many fans would cringe watching the fights he would get into that he shouldn't be in. <br /><br />Zack has to do what he did in that game to stay in the NHL because his fighting just won't get him there. He's a great agitator and he's a huge man, but his fighting skill is sub par for a heavyweight, which he very frequently goes up against (like I said, he'll fight anyone). <br /><br />I don't really want to see him play against us Oilers, but the guy is a genuine, fantastic person off ice.. so he deserves whatever success he gets.Rackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883906047360996158noreply@blogger.com
