Thanks to all those posting direct links.

Always felt bad for those who actually pay that dumbass fee to the NHL to watch hockey. Such a (frank)ing overpriced scam.

I guess that maybe I'm not explaining myself well then. I don't agree that giving them the same level of attention, would mean that more of them would make the NHL. I think they get all the attention they need. And that they fail to make the NHL, simply because they aren't good enough. And that they fail to earn more opportunity with their play. The cream rises to the top. If you're good enough, someone will notice. Maybe not the current Organization a player is with. But somebody will.
I think we agree on all the other parts of it, such as the practical aspect.

OK fair enough. So, if we take a group of undrafted players, differences in the amount of personal attention they get, the number of chances they get from the org to prove their worth, and the overall level of attention and opportunity they receive will have no bearing on how many of them make NHL rosters. Their die has been cast when they were not drafted. No amount of extra attention or additional opportunity will result in more of the players from that group making an NHL roster. Is that what you are saying you believe? Seems like it.

You're entitled to your opinion, but we won't agree on that one.

What are you talking about? Center Ice?

I bought that thing that OB uses Hockeystreams.com and its phenomenal for a year at $99 dollars and I get every league that I would care to watch.

Holy Lacaveer what a shot. I just recently learned that when we got Vinny, we got one of the hardest shots in the league.

Voracek mentioned that Akeson and him have chemistry, he plays a bit like Giroux.

He definately does with those cross ice passes right by the net, when in his own zone.

Chris Pronger was about 185 pounds as a rookie in Hartford, Holmgren said. Morin is already 211.

HE'S GONNA BE BETTER THAN PRONGER!

Another real nice pass under pressure from Morin. I notice he does that a lot.
