@ T-lumberjack--It's just such a ridiculous group of questions that I have to respond. Even though I wasn't axed
1) Durbano was the most skilled. He was a first round pick. He didn't use his skill often. He's dead now of liver cancer and served long term time in prison for cocaine trafficking. See how smart I am donnie?
2) Who would remember or care? How could anyone prove it now unless they had faceoff stats-which probably weren't taken formally back then.
3) Makes question #2 look almost reasonable. This question is beyond absurd. Not even Dave Gorman or Tony Cassolato could answer this nor would they care.
My best guess is that Catch22 was probably a kid who really didn't much care about face off percentages or obscure puck battling skills when he watched the Bulls.
But, donnie-as a 13 year old-was taking notes about the subtleties and the nuances of the game way back then. Just another sign of his hockey genius which these questions were designed to demonstrate. (Or he could get his info from published sources without citing them when he makes his arguments.lol)
All his genius aside, he still insisted that Desjardins and Desharnais would never make it in the AHL. But, he knows which obscure Birmingham Bulls were better at minor hockey skills. Sure he does. lol

Really? I didn't have to buy a ticket to see Cedrick Desjardins make his NHL debut December 30, 2010 vs. Montreal at the St. Pete Times Forum.
The only way I'll see him play in the NHL is if he's still in the NHL next time I see Montreal play.
