I don't think any Habs fans are regretting the Galchenyuk pick!
Also... I think it has more to do with the massive boner Garth has for this kid who has yet to play one professional game.
If he shows up in the league and pots 30 goals in 30 games... then it would be warranted.

I completely disagree.

Garth does not have a massive boner.

Good God.

As a Sabres fan, Garth, I am embarrassed.

How does 19-year old Russian taste, anyway?

EDIT:
replace "massive boner" with "Baby Carrot"

Was he injured for Canada game? Didn't notice him

I don't want to even post in here anymore.... I'm taking a break.
Garth you give idiots & morons a bad name. Your blogs are so stupid I can't even bring myself to read them anymore. You are the biggest hack on this website. This is just embarrassing...

Not since Yashin has the turtleneck been rocked like Grigo is rocking it now.

Funny that almost all the people comenting negatively on Grigorenko are edmonton, toronto, and montreal fans. All teams that had the chance to draft him. HATERS GONNA HATE THO

The term is Grigorection. Get it right!

If I had told you before this tournament started that he wouldn’t break the top 10 in scoring, and would get one goal through nearly the entire tournament, would you have said “that’s great!”? Obviously not. Most of the big name Russian forwards have not lived up to the hype. That’s just a fact.
- prock

Its more than just stats. Grig and Kucherov have been really good period. You are just a hater plain and simple. If there has been any player that has not lived up to the hype it is Yakapov

I think his original man-stiffy for grigs was real, but I'm beginning to think its trolling for hits at this point.
If not and he actually gets this aroused for the 23 year old phenom, I'm sure his mom isn't happy about having to Windex the TV screen after every Russia game.

THIS.

Galchenyuk > Yakupov > Rielly > Grigorenko
- WafflesAtACC

Of the top 5 players drafted this year, if I were to rank how they’ve played this tournament, I’d put Galchenyuk first, Rielly second, Yak third, Reinhart a distant fourth. Grigorenko somewhere in their with Yak.

To be clear, that’s THIS TOURNAMENT.

Prock has clearly been drinking Hatorade.

I would say they are making fun of garth more then the kid

If I didn't know better I would say he is just trying to troll everyone cause this sounds THAT stupid. But then again, Garth is THAT stupid

Pretty embarrassing, it would be nice if we had a blogger that can leave the house without a helmet
- ScaryGood

Nicely said. Everyone knows grigorenko is a great hockey player but these dumba** comments by garth just make me shake my head. he gets his first goal of the tournament and suddenly he's the best player in the world?? looks like garth woke up and drank the kool aid again today...

The master of hyperbole has struck again.

Sorry, I don't think Grigorenko has come close to living up to what was expected of him. Nor Yakupov. I don't know if it's coaching, or what, but almost the entire Russian team has been a mess.

I have to ask: have you really watched enough of this tournament to adequately judge these kids?

I've seen the Canada-Russia game, and the 3rd period of the Russia-Switzerland game.

That's it.

What has two thumbs and doesn't get up at 4 am?

Good thing we are a sane rational bunch here who wouldnt lose their minds and start talking about trading the #1 pick after this one underwhealming tournament...


oh wait...

needing a SO to beat the Swizz on home ice is proof positive of that.

As much as I love ripping Clootsie, to be fair, he wasn't saying dump Yakser (yeah, I'm going with hockey nickname protocol here) because he is a bust.

He was saying trade from a position of strength, to get a desperately needed centre.

Nobody is commenting negatively on Grigorenko.

We are commenting negatively on Garth.

And yes, the Leafs had a chance to draft Garth - we passed.

We stand by our decision.

I been reading this site for about4 years now. Honestly garth this isnt even funny anymore. The first ten blogs were funny.

hockeybuzzing and weather forecasting...

i do wonder

does garth do both?

it would explain a lot.

I dont think a center is that 'desperately needed'

In fact, I would very much like to see Yakipow play with that skinny girl on team Canada.
