Bla Razor and myself have both mentioned putting Noted on the PP in front of the net.

I think it’s worth a shot. Having Guerin is good for another right handed shot, but he’s not creating too much right now. Someone simple like Rupp would know his role, let the big boys do the heavy carrying and clean up the garbage when possible.

I’m all for it. He could fill a role similar to that of Ryan Malone from a few years ago. Preferably without the puck to the face.

Living in Ohio, I tend to miss a few things here and there. How did Rupp get the nickname Noted?

I have the same question…let me lend my significant (irl) weight to the inquiry.

Offhand, I referred to Rupp as a noted goal scorer in a recap, back when he scored his second or third goal of the year. Then he started to heat up and people around here have clung to it. So jump on the bandwagon now!

Yeah, and as far as I can remember it was a shot “that normally only a Noted goalscorer would be able to pull off”… and the rest is history:)

I think we should make an action plan on “How do we get the Noted’s nickname all across”… and after the last game now it’s the best time, people will buy it!

You have to see it for yourself...

Could it hurt to try it out for a game? I mean honestly? We aren’t exactly lighting it up on the PP, lets try it out…

Terrible idea

Don’t put him on the PP – you’ll ruin his scoring streak!

by Doc Nagel on Dec 2, 2009 5:26 PM EST reply actions  

I’d throw him out on the power play. What the heck, it couldn’t hurt…

by Hatt the Moople on Dec 2, 2009 7:20 PM EST reply actions  

Why not Staal instead?

He’s big, but skilled. With Talbot back, he can center the line after the PP.
