I hate on hendo, but his last blog was solid.

Nurse might actually be more integral to the build than the generational player we got comin. But draisaitl has become the forgotten man cause those other two are so visible. But he's a beast. He was Unstoppable in the dub finals. Easy choice for playoff mvp.

Love to see the otters turn it around and have Connor and Leon play in the mem cup.
Watching Connor and nurse battle in the ohl semis was pretty great.
The otters were just too much, but nurse was dominant

I think Sam is gonna be a very good nhl'er, but Leons massive frame and tool set are perfect for the oilers and the nhl game.

Will see how the pros work out, but I don't think there's much question Leon had a better season in juniors.
Outscored him, won an mvp in the playoffs and is the best player on the best team in the dub

But that's all it is at this point. Neither has really done anything at the pro level to suggest that he's clearly better than the other.

Could make the same argument that Reinhart's smarts, playmaking and defensive ability give him an edge, but it's too early to tell if it's going to work for him in the NHL.

In the 80's, it was a 4 week plan, consisting of 10 steps:

1. At work, let every single female cut in front of you at the coffee machine. Old, young, ugly, ptretty, skinny, husky, whatever. You say, "No, no, after you." way before the pot is empty, quietly, but noticeably, make a new pot. You are building a new brand. You will do this, and nothing else, for a full week.

2. At 2:30 Friday afternoon, find the best looking girl who drinks coffee. Say, "I'm meeting some friends at ______ for happy hour tonight. Any chance you can stop in on the way home?" She will say no, because she will have other plans, of course. This is expected. You are completing week T (-2).

3. On Monday, after you let a few girls fill their mugs before you (BRAND, BRAND, BRAND) someone will say, "How was your weekend." YOU MUST SEIZE THIS OPPORTUNITY. Rolling your eyes, you say, "Friday snuck up on me, I guess. My boys hung around for a while after happy hour and got a little crazy." Keep making coffee. The story will get back to the cute girl even if she's not there.

4. On Friday, as close to 9:30 am as possible, get to the coffee room, let all females cut, make as many fresh pots as necessary (BRAND YOURSELF, BOY!) and wait for the cute girl. When she comes, you say "I'm supposed to meet my boys at ___ again for happy hour. I need to be sure I'm a bit more careful than last week." Then, act like a new idea hit you, totally out of left field. "Hey! Wanna come?? It's a lot of fun!" She will say no. She already has other plans with her boyfriend/date. You have completed Week T (-1).

5. This is a critical time in the plan. Early on Monday, you're right back in the coffee room, letting all women go first, making fresh pots (BRAND YOURSELF) and looking a little glum. Someone will ask, "How are you SBroads?" or "How was your weekend?" Roll your eyes, and say, in a conspiratorial tone, "To be honest, I'm kinda glad to be back at work. After happy hour was over Friday at _______, we got way outta hand, and I need to be at work to get some rest!" If the cute girl is there to her this, it is best, but if not, its still OK, she will find out about the exchange.

6. Make tons of pots of coffee. Let girls cut in front of you every time. Smile nicely. Be humble.

7. Thursday afternoon after 3:00 pm. Back at the coffee room. More fresh pots. More letting every woman cut. Wait for the cute girl to show. When she's there, you have to deliver properly. "I don't know, my guys are going back to _____ for happy hour this week, and I kinda want to go, but I really don't want to get out of hand like we have for the last few weeks." A brilliant idea crosses your mind "HEY! Wanna meet me there?" She will say, "I 'm not sure, how long do you think you will be there?" Your reply should be "I usually just play it by ear. If you show up, that will be cool, if I miss you, we'll do it another time."

8. Sometime Friday at Happy Hour, she will show up at _______, with her boyfriend (don't panic) and ANOTHER GIRL. You have just completed week T (0). ANOTHER GIRL is your sex target in week T (+1).

9. Don't (frank) it up from here. Balance your buzz with your mission. Engage both the cute girl and ANOTHER GIRL in conversation early. Talk occasionally to the boyfriend, too. By the end spend 60 - 70 percent of your time, but not more, with ANOTHER GIRL Do not drop below 30% of your time impressing the cute girl, She is still your ambassador, and is critical in that role. You are moving into Week T (+1)

10. You are going to get laid this weekend! All week long, make coffee like a mother (frank)er, and let every single female cut in front of you (BRAND LOYALTY IS ALWAYS KEY!) When you see the cute girl, you say this "I really had a great time this weekend." DONT SAY ANY MORE until she says "We did too." Then you say, "Hey, is there any chance you might give me ANOTHER GIRL's number?" She will, of course. On Tuesday night, you meet ANOTHER GIRL for 2 drinks (no more than that) at a fancier place than _______. When you drop her at her house, kiss her, and ask if you can see her again. Wednesday, after work, invite her to dinner on Thursday night, at a restuarant that serves a good chicken entree. She'll go. Be cool, and after you kiss her at the front door, ask her if she would like a dinner and a movie Saturday. She will say yes. During the day Saturday, claen your apartment meticulously, make your bed, and be sure you have two condoms in your bedstand. YOURE GOING TO GET LAID

That's way too complicated and too many things could go wrong forcing you to start all over again.

I think you might want to stick with the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) method.

But that's all it is at this point. Neither has really done anything at the pro level to suggest that he's clearly better than the other.

Totally agreed.

Just pullin a minor troll attempt. And was thinkin about how it's all nurse and Connor talk in terms of the oilers. but Leon is playin great.

Both are great players.
We'll see in the pros.

7/10, execution was good but topic not controversial enough.

Is Bab's still coming or have things changed since Buff39 last posted ??

There is a chance that maybe he looked better playing with a better team? Lol.. Reinharts team was garbage. He single handily took them from being a bottom tier team to playoffs

I think this is a classic example, however, of the sum of the parts being much less than the whole.

A lot of big names but no matter how you stir the pot it still tastes like crap.

Not being argumentative or poking fun but you can't deny that things have just not come together even close to as planned.

Time will tell....3 of our guys are in Jr as opposed to one on your list, of course you have that troubled kid you traded for while on the IR that will help.

Kane is a huge "X Factor" in my opinion.

A lot of young kids (especially those with a lot of $$) act like jackasses and need to grow up. This could be the change he needs. New team, new city, new coach, new chance. If he matures enough and focuses on the game and the team he could be a huge contributor.

More than a couple "ifs" you just laid out there. But I think he's a player. Reminds me of Bill Guerin.
