  1. Who would you take between: Watson, Wentz, and Prescott? I'm thinking the Browns would like to have any one of the three.
  2. Who is to say Cleveland will not stink up the next season too, and finish dead last again? The kid should come out now, and bank his money, which will be a lot. He can finish school after his NFL career, whether it be a short one or a long one. Risking another season, and the potential of injury makes no sense for a guy who might be selected first overall.

    Vanek out at TDL and Goldy in?
  4. Or, are the Saints "marching in" to the playoffs?
  5. I like this. Jake clearly has both confidence and an edge. I really am starting to see great things coming from this kid, and soon.
  6. Do they have our Golden Boy’s golden locks?
  7. McDavid, but then Brock the Golden Child is second. Those other guys pale in comparison to our Bessy. (I’m calling him that now:)
  8. Heard the Clemson coach on ESPN radio on “Mike and Mike” say that he told NFL scouts Watson was the best player he’s been around. He added any team passing on Watson will be sorely disappointed. I guess the Cleveland scout forgot to listen. Didn’t Cleveland trade down the previous draft, missing on Wentz too?
  9. Tanev is now a plus eight. That’s really hard for a defensive Dman to get those numbers. He gets the toughest matchups, plays PK, and gets little PP. He’s an EXTREMELY good player, who gets very little credit, because he’s not a flashy point producer.
  10. I really like all parts of his goal, but especially how he continues to go in front of the net. The kid has the right mindset for causing havoc.
  11. Nice play by Curry, but what the heck is Steve Kerr (Steve Kerr) wearing? I thought the NBA had a dress code!
  12. Let’s compare our prospects to guys who actually won. Pettersson = Forsberg Gaudette = Trottier Lind = Kurri Palmu = Cournoyer
  13. I think Bieksa is out now, because of his Superman punch. He hurt his hand. Both Guddy and Dorset are playing really well for us now, and it would be a shame if one (or both) get injured in a fight. Maybe we should bring up Labate to do the fighting?
  14. Why does the NHL allow bare-knuckle fighting, especially considering the new concern over concussions? We could have lost a very important player last game.
  15. Absolutely agree 100%. We need to lock up Guddy for the long term. Is it any wonder we gave up 3 PP goals to Boston, the one game Guddy sits because of suspension? Then, once he's back, we're are good again. The guy is HUGE for this team's future.
  16. Do you think we might need to pay him more than Florida would, considering the tax law differences? Maybe we will need to pay him more than he's actually worth to keep him?
  17. Wingers can get away without defensive responsibility down low in their own zone, where body position is extremely important. Being so light, Pettersson would likely get pushed aside, and not be any kind of impediment to his opponents. could you imagine him trying to pin a 200 pound man to the end wall, and also keep that man from moving to the front of the net? With the puck, I'm sure the kid is amazing. Without the puck, as a center, his lighter weight and lack of strength would make him a big time liability in his own zone.
  18. And putting their teeth in?
  19. True enough. Many (almost all really) keep their helmets off during team warm up to show off their hair.
  20. Now that we have Green as coach, yes.
  21. I prefer mine (crow that is) with cheese sauce.
  22. This is another reason why I prefer Granny to Baer. Granny does things to impact the game beyond points. He’s a very complete player. I don’t see Baer on this team once the rebuild is done. Granny will be though.
  23. I agree, but he’s also making about three times as much money playing in the AHL as he would back in Sweden. I think once this contract runs out, he’s going back home.
