Laperriere mocks Stortini's fighting ability

[Donovan]

Or lack thereof. Stortini is affectionately known as Huggy Bear to most Oiler fans, I guess the players must talk about this stuff too, lol, check out the 34 sec mark specifically. And hopefully he is a thing of the past before the end of this season, if you want an agitator/tough guy at least get someone legitimate.

Stortini.

Laperriere is one of the best checking agitiators in the game.

thats what i figured you meant...ill admit the only oiler games i watch in full are when they are playing the avs so i don't know much about stortini but i do know how good laperriere is as well as the rest of his line...

nice to see an oiler fan admit that though!! most people i talk to that arent avs fans and dont understand what he can do hates him!

i was watching this game and thought it was hilarious when he was doing that on his way to the box.

You know, there's a difference between an enforcer and agitator. I don't think the Oilers play Stortini and expect him to be a heavyweight.

An agitator can usually check well, therefore contributing to the team, or at least has wheels but no hands. But the Oilers got MacIntyre to be there fighter, and he's done a decent job so far, and yet they continue playing Stortini who does nothing but make a bad 4th line wretched. Now they have MacIntyre - Brodziak - Stortini, which is slow, and atrociously bad. At least MacIntyre is there for a reason, poor Brodziak, a decent young checking center who has the worst linemates in the history of hockey.
