Yeesh. That's scary. Couldn't talk? I had no clue it was that bad lol

There was a guy on the ranger's forum who said he had a serious brain injury and couldn't talk and we pooh poohed him because "friend of a friend's girlfriend, blah blah blah fishcakes." Turns out his info was good.

If T.O. doesn't get Strome they're going to set fire to all the cars on the 401.

So a normal off-season for them?

Marner's skills are off the chart and he has very good wheels, however don't expect him to make an impact at the NHL level for at least 2 years. He needs to get stronger.

Gotta tell ya though, when I look at this kid, I definitely see some Claude Giroux in him and that can only be a good thing!

Marner, Rantanen, Crouse, or Barzal. Those 4 are my top choices in that order.

Nothing wrong with seeing a little bit of Giroux in one's game

They're still talking about how they were one ball away from getting McDavid.

Between them and Buffalo someone should just put up a giant piece of glass over lake Ontario and tell them it's a mirror. The hockey fans would never know.

Wonder why it took so long? That's been the rumour since Shero stepped in. Was there convincing to be done?

SHOCKED.

I want to know when we name DJ Smith, Dominique Ducharme, or Greg Ireland our AHL coach.

Interesting to see what directions the Debs go at #6. Shero hasn't exactly drafted forwards very well. Crouse fit the profile of a Debs forward when Uncle Lou was in charger.

I agree with OB18, he thinks they're going Crouse or Barzal.

So of course they're going to take Provorov

Those 2 forwards to me fit what they may want is why I say it. I bet that changes it Hanifin or Marner fall.

I love blue crabs and just had some two weeks ago but I can't stomach the soft shell. The mussels we can order triple.

I'm really curious to see how far Kylington actually falls. He was rated (by some) as a top 10 pick prior to this season. Since then, the consensus seems to be that he's got million dollar skills and a 10 cent head. I can't help but wonder if his game hasnt been over-analyzed and over-dissected.

I would love to see him plummet to the Flyers 2nd pick in the 1st round. I'm not terribly hopeful that it will actually happen, but you never know... once a player aquires a certain stigma, its like he's got the plague and team after team will take a pass. I think we saw that with Anthony DeAngelo and Joshua Ho-Sang last year.

I can't even begin to talk about the DVHL as an entity. I have almost nothing positive to say about it. We've had to threaten legal action only to find out two years later, the person at the club level who we "HAD" to talk to a lawyer about was brought into the DVHL to manage a portion of the league. This guy cared zero about the kids, only self promotion and leveraging himself into a big fish position in this little pond.
- mayorofangrytown

Both of u have been spot on with the dvhl...these orginization s also
Have too many teams ..can't cut anyone on this little johnny world.

I admit I am a fool to pay what I pay for my kid to play.
Not worth it yet I do it

Ho Sang and DeAngelo still went in the 1st round. For Kylington to drop to 60...
