Dumbo has been part of the last few Olympic Committees, he is well known for his Venn diagrams and binders full of research on the players being considered.

Don't know if anyone read the Puck Daddy article on Bobby Ryan's snub, but it's unbelievable. I know he is a bit soft and lacks some intensity, but wow did Burke tear him a new one. He made it personal and I think that was completely unprofessional.

The ironic part is Burke drafted him and now looking back says he should have taken Jack Johnson (who sucks too - don't know if that would have worked out any better for you, Burkie).
