mandatory period


yawn I'm out

uh taylor hall is 21...are you saying that in some states you cant drink until you're 22? and eberle is 23... you dont even know about the players on the oilers...you absolutely need to re-think what you do for a hobby, hockey blogging just isn't your thing...unless this is blatant trolling...then carry on

I'm pretty sure every coach starts out with no NHL experience.

Gee you think? doesn't mean they amount to anything...I hope for the worst it would screw with the 2 teams i hate the most

the irony in this post is epic.

Bright.


Know what's ironic?


The classiest, most down to earth, modest team in the league, that's earned it's respect from just about everybody.... Having a fan like you.

Great blog

Hope for the worst? It's a shame all Canuckleheads don't share your pessimism. Maybe they wouldn't have burned down their city if they did.

No, I have deadline tomorrow for one of the newspapers I write for. Just finished a big long story about an environmental group concerned about oil sands development. Now I am moving on to writing a piece about a provincial initiative to increase the number of female candidates in the next municipal election.

Lets hope you know more about those topics than you do about hockey.

I'm aware, I just assumed you were always negative.

Decent blog but if talent is talent then colarado should be there instead of Tampa.
- JETSWIN

Eh, your talent isn't as developed as the guys he listed for Tampa, with the exception of Drouin.

Clouts... You're lack of intelligence in the NHL is quite annoying. Karlsson is the best defenseman in the world? Hell no. Best Offensive Defenseman. Yeah, probably. But defenseivly he is horrible.

Hi to everyone by the way.

Based on what? I hate the Oilers team...I don't like most of their fans...and same goes for the Leafs, there are other teams i respect their fans and team other than the Canucks... those just don't happen to be them

Sorry my bad, I just... Well if I was a Canuck fan... I just... Well I'd be pretty miserable.

If you're doing another 3-parter blog after this series can you do it on Sam Gagner and Tyler Bozak?

Reality check, nobody cares what you like.

For me, the top 5 Flyers are: Giroux, Voracek, Timonen, Simmonds, and Lecavalier. That group may not look overly skilled but the Flyers strength lies in their forward depth. The Flyers may have arguably one of the best projected top-9 in the league. It depends on whether Gagne is resigned or if Laughton could play wing. But few teams can match the depth of: Giroux, Voracek, Hartnell, Lecavalier, Simmonds, Schenn, Read, Couturier, and Gagne/Laughton. If this were ranking top forward groups the Flyers would def be top 10. But I actually agree with their placement here.

you hear about Giroux's golfing accident?

How do you change your location?

i'd say the same about being an oilers or leafs fan... I've been watching my team do well in the past 8 years...yourself? no? its not as if the oilers have magically turned into a great team yet either...
