Is he playing on Friday against London? Think we should keep him wraped up in cotton wool for Sunday! I don't think he will need to be wrapped up in cotton wool. He certainly looks like he can handle himself. I would rather unleash him on Maxwell and co.

McKenna won't have a problem regards high sticking and Vezio, he will simply play Vezio AS the puck. Problem solved. ;D He just needs to make sure he makes contact below the shoulder

Sounds a great signing, and we're all looking forward to seeing him on Sunday. The only problem will be whether his work permit is through in time. We all know the relevant office of the DoE is in Sheffield. Shouldn't be a problem, though, as they got Jeff Christian's work permit processed in 3 days.

I think he will be amazing for us! This guy is a proper NHL player. What is going to happen to Tvrdon tho? O.k releasing him because he has'nt proved himself but if he go's and the NHL restarts or Mckenna leaves for other money reasons? realise there are other players as this is a clear example! Should keep all the lads on their toes knowing he may stay and steal a roster spot - but not Roman's. I'd say there were far more obvious contenders for him to replace.... *runs and hides before Martin reads this!* ;D

According to NHL 2005
Roman Tvrdon Is a better player than Mckenna by quite abit as well as i think Tvrdon is somthing like 71 or 72 out of 100 and Mckenna is 61 out of 100.
I know its not very realiable but the standard of the players is usally right.
but we shall see.
I can think of some on who he could replace if he can play D as well.

You can't use NHL 2005 as evidence for who is the better player. Faaaarr to unreliable. On NHL 2004 PC Drouin was rated a better player than Stu Barnes.

I can't afford anymore jerseys this seasos. Anyway my bad luck charm seems to be out in full force again when it comes to players names on my back. Knew I shouldn't have got Tvrdon to sign the CAps on this early on. Sorry Roman! Anyway, for anybody less jinxed, there are a few game-worns for McKenna where I usually get mine from (here) if anyone is interested. twix

they probably had PC drouin better than stu barnes because the PC drouin stats were going on how good they are compared wit other Elite league players
and stu barnes was going on how good they are compared with other NHL players.

I tend to go on what level the player has played at over his career. A good indication is the number of NHL games that they've been called up to play!

i have thought about it now and i really don't think he will have a very big impact on the league and won't make us anybetter of a team.

well he won't about 400 games and only 32 points
Tvrdon would of probably got more than that if he got that many games.

At least not as good as McKenna. You don't play almost 400 games in the Show as a fluke Tim. You're priceless, absolutely priceless.

ask NHL fans
I know not one of them will say that they are unhappy if he doesn't come back and play for there team.
i also bet that 100's of players that have not played for NHL team (well not 300 games) are better than him, PC Drouin probably is for one.

lets have a bet then helen I bet you he doesn't become our most valuable player (excluding cruickshank) Tim, sometimes you are a prime plon**r. Not related to David Simms by any chance? Foot in mouth springs to mind. He's on a short term contract. Who would bet with you if he is only likely to play around 10 games or so?
