  1. Just imagine going through school with that name? I know as a kid I would've had a hard time not making fun of his name and I was a pretty nice young lad.
  2. How did Lind do in the second game?
  3. 3 more seasons of over 30 pts - would love to see it.
  4. Sounds like a really down to earth and humble young man. Hope he continues to do well!
  5. Wonder why they didn't pull their goalie for the extra man?
  6. Maybe that was a case of wanting to show his former team that he still has something.
  7. A good example except the teams are more evenly matched than the NHL/AHL/KHL scenario. That's only me nitpicking though because your explanation was great.
  8. Yeah I know! What did the 1st star do?
  9. Solid pick! I like his swagger!
  10. I'm hoping for the 2nd coming of Martin St Louis!! If we're going to dream...
  11. Champions Hockey League. It's a tournament of the top teams from the top tier European leagues.
  12. While he became a great player, at the time he was drafted (54th overall) Duncan Keith was hardly considered to be a high end d-man. There were also quite a few other d taken before Karlsson in 2008, and while he had a high ceiling there are 12 other teams who probably wish they had taken him instead of who they picked (pretty sure Tampa and LA were happy with their picks). You are right though we do need top end D, it's just that this scouting and drafting thing isn't as easy as it looks.
  13. Any websites you could recommend to stream European games?
  14. The Bruins had help from the zebras! Oh no I'm starting to sound like Apollo!! Oh well the koolaid tastes great!
  15. It's professional but quite low quality. I went to a game a few years ago to watch the defending league champs play and it was awful. Pretty sure any AHL team, and many of the better jnr teams would have been able to beat them. On a funny side note, one of the players on the ice was Theo Fleury. It was his last kick at the professional can. A couple of games after the one I watched he got suspended for going after a fan who was taunting him while he was serving a penalty.
  16. Can't wait for his season to start so that we can move on from this.
  17. Thanks. As I read your response it jogged my 50 year old memory and I remember reading that before.
  18. Question about Makar....is he eligible to play in the AHL next year? He didn't play in one of the more traditional leagues last year so wondering if perhaps he can go directly to the AHL like a European can?
  19. Personally I like Glass. Hard working guy, great character, and seems like good skill set that we need.
