Just for arguments sake; certainly not ahead of toews, but ej is having a very strong year and coming into his own as a true top pairing guy

I had Kessel going 1st. But lets keep that off the leaf board

Lost a bet to my brother in -law. He said EJ would go 1st overall. I said we wouldn't go top 5.
I lost the battle but may have won the war

Not really. Historically its a tourny where young d men struggle.

Trouba 2 yrs ago was hands down the most dominati g d man I've seen in it

I also remember Teubert looking like a beast, 5 years later he obviously sucks.

I personally was totally wowed by ej his year. His size along with such beautiful skating impressed me .

But yes, trouba was also phenomenal a couple back.

Ristolainen last year. Even klefbom in his too. No homer.

You should be an amateur scout. You clearly have the clairvoyance for the gig.

I think u did.

As much as I've said ej has come into his own with a very solid year; Kessel is on another level. A dominant scorer [/img]

Hnat Dominichelli was playing in the Swiss leagues. Made more money then he did in Minnesotas farm system and met a nice bride there. Not a bad life.

Been to Germany. Loved it. Almost went to Switzerland on that trip for the World Hockey Championships but we were too hungover. Didn't miss much, Canada got schooled anyway.

Awesome game between Wisconsin and Kentucky

Both pretty great.
But yeah, I'd have to agree.

I think I read that Switzerland has the highest standard of living in the world

It might. Norway is up there too. Has a semi-socialist system where you pay close to 50% income tax, entertainment is expensive , but essentials are affordable. I heard that in Norway, if you want to go swimming, it's free.If you have good grades,University is free.If you want your kid to play hockey through school, it's free. They place education and personal betterment as essentials, if you want them it doesn't cost mom and dad a fortune.

Uconn!!! Cinderella!!

No bandwagon jumping either. Chose them way back when Ray Allen played there in the 90's.

Goin for a 4th title in 15 years.
5th final four in that span too.

One of the top few programs in the country. Should get more recognition than it does. none of duke, Kentucky or Kansas have had as much success in the same period.

Go huskies!!!

Napier is the man

I'm a Wake Forest fan

I hope Kentucky wins. 7 vs 8. And Kentucky is as gutsy of team as I've seen in this tourny. But could care less who wins between Cats and Huskies because I'm an underdog man

Beating Wichita st. Was huge for the cats. They were my pick to win it all.

Napier's pulling a kemba walker from a few years back. Unstoppable right now. Fuk his lack of points today. He was a general out there
