  1. Within one. STFU fake fans.

    Fake fans? It pains us seeing this too. This team isn't good enough. If you call realists "fake fans", I do not know what to tell you. I do not live in the fantasy world like a lot of people do. The high draft pick is better, if we draft Dal Colle or Draisaitl, we will be much better for the upcoming years.

  2. How did this turn into a John Madden discussion?

    In any event, third line centres don't record 20 goal seasons for 5 straight years and in 6 of 7 years. Kesler might be a 3rd line centre on a great team, but he's a 2C on most NHL teams. The whole notion of numbering lines is overrated, anyway. Why not have 3 lines that can score?

    Even Selke-calibre centres like Toews, Mike Richards and Bergeron need winger support. There's nothing wrong with that.

    This turned into a John Madden thread when some smart ass decided to bring his name up as a selke winner and claiming he was playing third line minutes that year which he was not...

    Jere Lehtinen won it 3 times as a RW. Madden could easily have been splitting time between center and wing.

    Exactly what I was trying to say.

  3. They had Arnott, Gomez and Holik all playing more minutes per game than him that season, so I guess you were right.

    He played 4th line minutes.

    I never knew John Madden was locked to be a centre and had to play centre...good to know!

  4. Button on tsn made predictions if the draft were to end up as the standings are now, it went

    Buffalo Sam Bennett

    Edmonton Ekblad

    Florida Dal Colle

    Islanders decide to hand the pick to Buffalo this year so they don't miss out on perhaps the better player next year.. Buffalo takes Draisaitl

    Calgary takes Reinhart

    If he's right, I'm praying Calgary passes us haha

    Why would Florida draft Dal Colle over Reinhart?

  5. I'm pretty sure the Canucks were a true contender with Kesler as a 2nd line center. They kind of dominated the league in 2011 and he was dominant.

    Agreed. I keep seeing this "Kesler is a 3rd line centre" crap. A 3rd line centre does not win the Selke Trophy guys.
