  1. Same I was laying in bed and it blinded me pretty good and literally two seconds later shook my house.
  2. Draisaitl's speed is a concern, sure , but he knows this and I'm sure he will work hard at it. If he increases his footspeed and uses his frame more he will be a real force to be reckoned with.
  3. And Taylor Hall was above a ppg last season and pretty damn close the year before
  4. Well if you actually have seen Ehlers play you'd know they are in no way comparable at all. And I don't remember Schroeder ever playing bigger than his size. Perhaps people claimed that, but those people would be wrong. Instead of using the opinions of others , perhaps you should watch them yourself and then you could come to your own conclusions.
  5. Again spoken by someone who is basing his opinion off of a few highlight clips probably
  6. I'm no Ehlers nut hugger but you should stop talking as you clearly have no clue. Ehlers is pretty fearless and he does indeed go to the tough areas and if you watched him at all you would know this. Once he takes a good lickin he always comes back with some extra pep in his step pissed off and it actually brings out some grittyness to his game .
  7. Lol Ehlers is 5'11.5 and 170, Schroeder is 5'8 and 175. Also, Schroeder plays like his size, where as Ehlers plays bigger than he is.
  8. While I agree and we definitely need a no 1 d (way easier said than done) ,one of the two forwards has to be a no 1 centre. Hopefully Draisaitl drops as I think he could fit that bill one day.
  9. He definitely exaggerated the third round hockey iq comment but I see where he's coming from. His vision is really suspect and he's definitely a me first player and the games I've seen he was completely invisible. Not involved in creating offense and not involved anywhere else so he's pretty inconsistent. I've also heard from people who know him that he's got a pretty poor attitude too. I think at 6th we'll have a better option to be honest but I guess we could do worse.
  10. I noticed Nylander played in North America until three years ago and then he moved to Sweden. Does anyone have any idea why he did this? Edit: nvm found it on his hf profile. It's because his pops signed a contract with a Swiss team.
  11. The letting go of Torres was incredibly stupid. The guy had a great playoff showing and certainly earned a multi year deal and it wasn't like he was being unreasonable in terms or length. However, Lapierre became pretty useless, especially last year and we essentially swapped him for Richardson. I wasn't a huge fan of Weise but he is still young and does have some upside. I think his big mouth is what got him moved. He wasn't in favor with Torts at all and had many games where he played just 4 mins. That's not completely Gillis' fault.
  12. Was about to post the same. He was getting jeered by the Blues fans earlier in the game but he's really shut the door since the first.
  13. This has been a great game. Whoever comes out of this series is going to be pretty beaten up.
  14. Im not so sure Dale Tallon will pick Ekblad at no 1. He still probably has nightmares of taking Cam Barker top 3 with Chicago.
  15. Well he's lied to global tv already once right? Does anyone have some highlights of Ehlers? Doesn't seem like there are many videos on YouTube(could be because I've searched from my phone). Also, who is our scout out in the Q?
  16. I suggest people go and listen to Torts' whole 30 minute presser this morning . Probably the most entertaining and informative presser you'll hear. I didn't want it to end , some gold soundbytes in there .
  17. Edler playing this bad next year boosts our chances at Mcdavid or eichel:p
  18. His groins been bugging him apparently. Now that we are mathematically eliminated there's no point to play on it I guess.
  19. Ah I thought since they would have more wins they'd get the nod. That sucks
  20. false , 5th overall is still possible with Calgary winning tonight. Although very unlikely, as we would have to go pointless. Calgary would also have to win out their last two(one against us), Winnipeg would have to win their last game and Carolina would need a win in one of their final three.
