It tells me that you can be at the bottom of the trash pile one minute and the top of the world the next...Lol

Vice versa as well...

The Pens are in a tough spot with their goalie situation there. They virtually have to trade Fleury and everyone knows it. Are we really going to be the team that lets them off the hook so they don't have to protect him, therefore get to keep Murray? Lol

To me, not a chance in hell that it happens.

Even as we speak, they'd probably be willing to trade Fleury for a massage table, a bag of pucks and "future" considerations. It's because he's virtually a $6 million backup goalie, to them.

THIS^^^^^^^

Maybe if the price was right.

I agree with this 100%

It may be time to realize the Sens are pretty good.

Agree, but didn't we do very well against them and yet suck vs the shit teams aka NJ? How does that work?

I cannot wait until the day when we start owning teams like the Devs and the Rags. Hopefully it will be sooner before I'm admitted in a nursing home, lol.

That pretty much has been our story the last 5 years.

With this number 2 pick it is likely that it will happen sooner rather than later unless the pick turns out like our last number 2 pick.

I agree we could use his offensive ability his leadership and his playoff experience. For the right price i wouldn't mind him.

So Canada won again and it was a very boring game. So many whistles that my recording ran out with 2 mins to go. Gee got bumped up to 2nd line center with Oreilly and Simmer. That was the best line on the ice all night by far and away. Gee i think got credited for 8 shots but had way more attempts than that. Thats the good news. The bad news is Oreilly took 90% of the offensive and defensive zone draws which is supposed to be Gee's strength. Canada out shot Germany like 50 to 18ish. Couts had plenty of chances to score in close and its so frustrating to watch him offensively. Koneckny was his usual feisty self and played well just not as good as he has been and Schenn was invisible again.


Worst news of the day from this tourney is USA lost.

Nico Or Nolan?

Nico Or Nolan?

I am going with Nolan which means we will end up with Nico ;-)

The way i keep reading is we cant miss with either of them.

Same hear, hope we are happy with either.

I saw a few highlights of this game, they looked pretty bad.

Nico Or Nolan?

I was originally thinking I'd prefer Hischier, but now I'm thinking Patrick.

Either way, if Nico turns out to be anything like Kane or Datsyuk AND Nolan turns out to be anything like Getzlaf or Toews, we quite simply cannot go wrong here.

I find myself harkening back to the old adage that you can't teach size and aside from everything else, Patrick has that. He looks huge already in that pic and would probably make our team right out of training camp, which would be uber exciting to see.

We don't really have elite level size down the middle. Couturier is a bigger guy, but not very physical or imposing and only elite defensively. I would take an 18 year old second coming of Getzlaf immediately without even flinching or putting any further thought into it.

There's also the Hexy/Provy connection of the Brandon Wheat Kings. I am sure the Flyers have had scouts at a lot of games in which both Provorov and Patrick were playing. They probably never dreamt they'd be able to have a shot at picking him too, but nonetheless, they've seen him in action.

I am with you on this one. I am all for making our team bigger and stronger and faster and Patrick provides all of that in one player. We need to find a way to make sure the Devils pick Nico.

It also helps that Getzlaf has been a monster again this postseason, and at age 32. That's a truly elite level center all over the ice.

this excites me just thinking about it, and yes in that naughty type of way.
