  1. TSN is such a joke. Really? They're not even playing golf anymore, put on the NBA finals you idiots

      Sounds like full-circle. Back in the 80's, they had little meaningful content, as I recall.

       

      Over the past 30 yrs, the importance/$ of televised sport has grown exponentially. Bigwig-stations had to buck-up. Those who can't shell out, get left in the dust.

      what they also do is put golf on ten 1 and the game on 3, 4, 5 which have to pay extra to get

      Thank God I found it on ch2 KOMO. TSN can take their golf and ya know

  2. We should have Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria as our opening song. That would be so badass and get everyone amped up like crazy. 

  3. Would maybe trading the 5th overall pick for a player like Sam Reinhart or Jacob Trouba be a better idea. IMO Sam is a 1C and Trouba looks to be better than any d in this year's class. Plus they are already NHL ready and would speed up our rebuild but 2-3 years.

      I say no to Trouba. Sam Reinhart is a pretty good player to get for that pick, so I'd think about doing that, but I don't know if Buffalo wants to part with a former 2nd overall.

      Well I wasn't thinking of a straight up trade 1-1. Maybe have other moving parts going whichever way to balance out. But I think if we sweetened the pot a bit Buffalo would be OK with letting Sam go. Tkachuk-Eichel would be deadly and Girgensen is a good 2C

  4. i see his as a Dustin Brown type player when Brown was a 30 goal scorer, fast and would hit like a truck. Jake being much faster than Brown ever was. i think he just needs time to learn that what worked in junior isnt going to work in the nhl. he will come around and start scoring. also should be put on the LW. he would score many more goals that way
  5. let the kid develop in utica. he has been pretty good but he could use some work in his own end. I could see him being called up after the trade deadline when we sell off some players
  6. Southpaw: 8/10 its been done before but still a very enjoyable movie. Jake is one of the best actors in the world hands down, really great performance
  7. Jersey is getting a C. They need a future #1C desperatley
  8. What would it take for us to get Griffin Reinhart and/or Leon Draisaitl

      Markstrom, Bieska, and Kassian....

      Probably McCann/Cassels our 2015 1st and a prospect/roster player

      Draisatl? With McJesus coming in. A 1st and a stud D prospect. Possibly have a better chance at Hopkins for that price. Chiarelli is no fool; he's done his homework

  9. NJ will pick a C to build around
  10. Ok mystery solved. Playing LW when youre a right handed shot gives you more opportunities to have a better angle shot than playing on your proper wing. Your welcome CDC
  11. IS JAKE PLAYING PRIMARILY RW THIS YEAR AS APOSED TO PLAYING MOSTLY LW LAST YEAR?
  12. If im not mistaken, jake played LW last year. This year he has switched to RW, in the games i have seen. That could be a big difference if true. Different shooting angles and and and wind resistance and the slope of the the earth with the gravity and black holes.
  13. Kes is plays much better defensively. From what iv seen Virtanen is faster, hits harder and has better offense, but isnt the two way player Kes is. He's more like a Max Pacioretty
  14. poor Markstrom. finally gets his shot this season and that happens. hope he rebounds

  15. Yes. When Hodgson was traded he had 33pts playing 3rd line minutes being a young up and coming center. His trade value was pretty high at the time. Kassian had not played more than a couple games in the NHL. MG could have probably traded for a player that could have helped us immediately not in a couple years. How he's playing now has nothing to do with anything anymore. But if you want to go that way, Hodgson also had 34pts in 48GP in the lockout shortened season and 44pts last year playing for Buffalo. Still better than Kassian
  16. The problem with how we built for the future is we sacrificed possible success after we went to the finals. MG was stagnant and didn't try to address the needs of our team, plus he didn't get good value for who we traded. Hodgson was having a good season, if he wanted out we should have gotten someone to help us immediately since we were on pace for another presidents trophy, but instead we got a young power forward who wouldn't be a big impact. Wrong move. I still hope Kassian can put it together however. And with Schneider we could have easily have gotten more. Love Horvat but it wasn't fair value. It seemed like after the Boston series the mentality was to just to change the team from the prospects instead of adding the pieces to get back to the finals which I think was a mistake. I truly believe that of we had a little bit more we could have had another go at the cup instead of getting bounced in the first round 2 years in a row.
  17. Dane Fox was also a goal scoring genius playing as an overager. Tambellini needs to play in the AHL, and if he brings the same level then you can say he has a complete game. Anyways im surprised Virtanen didnt get a goal in that blowout. Still real excited for this kid.
  18. Slot him in to replace Vrbata after next season. Sedin-Sedin-Virtanen line would be awesome.
  19. 1st game he was awesome. After that he didnt really stand out besides some huge hits and a couple good rushes. I agree he is really fast but also seemed lost without the puck sometimes. He's young. Has room for improvement. Next year he's going to have a prominent role if hes on the team.
  20. Nylander-Backstrom Virtanen-Carter Who has a cup?
  21. Im glad we have all these experts on here saying it was a bad pick.
  22. Swollen Members- local rappers, dope a frack
