He is definitely a momentum changer, which is great in close games. Mitch Love has been all over the league ever since he left Cleveland. Nice to see Love get his a** handed to him.

I think you are looking at Mitch in the wrong context. Mitch isn't a pure enforcer but rather he fights to get his team pumped up. In essence, he is just an energy guy. Love stood NO CHANCE against PB. Love gave up at least 6", 40 lbs. and 3" reach in that fight with him. Love has bounced around the league because Mitch can't really do much other than throw his fist. He never has. 5 goals (6 if you count the post season) as a professional isn't going to keep you in the focus of any team... http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/s...isplay.php?pid=55405I know stats don't prove anything when looked at them on a sheet of paper and he is certainly a better skater than I am but still, as a professional, his career appears to be no higher than the AHL. I would expect him to be in the ECHL or the like for the rest of his hockey career even though he is a supremely nice guy... |

I think Patrick Bordeleau is without a doubt the most well rounded tough guy we have had play pro hockey in this town in a long long time. I'll go out on a limb and say he is the toughest fighter in the entire AHL. I thought he played one heck of a game last Sunday. He skated well, finished checks, created scoring opportunities and almost scored twice himself. Coaches just love it when they get this kind of play out of their fighter. Look for Patrick Bordeleau to give Andre Deveaux a shot at the title this Friday at the Q. http://theahl.com/stats/player.php?id=284http://theahl.com/stats/player.php?id=284

I didn't realize this, but Patrick has apparently been all over the place the past two years.
According to hockeydb.com, since the start of the 2007-08 season, he has played with five(!) different ECHL teams (Charlotte, Wheeling, Pensacola, Augusta, and Florida), four different AHL teams (Lake Erie, Milwaukee, Albany and Springfield), and what appears to be a college team (St. Thomas University).
Ten different teams in two years? That has got to be close to some sort of record, doesn't it?
