Tripping much????? WTF

Terrible no call.

? None of these hawk defensemen prospects can look game ready now until they skate with NHL players.

Refs giving the game to blues

What’s happened to cause the drop - only the Combine In the past couple of weeks, and didn’t Cozens miss it?
- StLBravesFan

Ya not sure.

People are falling out of love with him apparently. Not sure the reason.

It's interesting to see Cozens drop, not only on Button's list but others I've seen as well.
- Tyler Cameron

DON'T BUY THE COZENS DROP EITHER.

Terrible no call.
- Tyler Cameron

Sadly not the only horrible call in the playoffs. Bad timing for the Bruins too.

The ONLY way that I can see the non call is if the ref thought Bozak was just trying to stop and... wait, no I’ve been drinking too much already and even I know that was a blatant trip.

Cause they probably saw the same thing I did, he floats too much.

Clearly you have convinced Craig Button. He just came out with his final draft rankings and this little twerp is all the way up to #4, right behind Byram.

Cozens all the way down to #14.
- RickJ

So when did you think Craig Button was the king of Drafts?

when he had Philly's Robert hang a mind first rounder?

These draft board flips are more about internet hits than deduction...

I have no sympathy for the Bs - they have been getting away with so much clutching, grabbing, and other BS - they deserve a blown call with the salt of a goal rubbed in for extra measure.

He didn’t miss it. He was there and scored high a few times.

I think we need to get more skeptical with these mocks. People can be bought, pay the right people to change their drafts to make inept franchises to second guess themselves. Have the right connections and make your kid a top 10 pick.

I will have faith in our hockey operations.

DON'T BUY THE COZENS DROP EITHER.

Doesn’t this happen every draft? One or two guys jump or drop for no apparent reason right before the draft? I would love to see an actual scout’s reaction to these rankings.

Cheap shots with no calls couldn't happen to a better team

BOS thinks it's all cute when its Marchand Backes or Krug

When you say SCORE sports radio, all I can think of is my call to there some time before 2010, after the hawks draft that year, and basically was pumped, had my usual breakdown of the guys they took, and was cut short by Bernstein (sp? don't fracking care) who basically said, who cares? No hockey draft player impacts a team for a couple years, and continued with the second level sport degradation.
Funny how after a run with many of those very same players they didn't want to waste time talking about helped their radio station suddenly become "hockey lovers."

They even have an analyst/draft expert and is talking about the very same entry draft where you wait for the talent, that Bernstein was so flippant about, basically insulting me after I was shut off.

So funny, and pathetic.

JUST LIKE That UNCALLED TRIP! Holee?
- wiz1901

Bernstein is an arrogant ass and is the main reason I don't listen to 670AM anymore unless it's broadcasting a game I'm interested in.

Of all the evaluators , Button is the one I pay the least attention to.

But we as fans of hockey don’t deserve it - we should get a fairly played- and fairly called - game where the best team wins - not the team that got away with it because of a bad call.

I’m certainly not saying that the stripes favor one team over the other - only that they’re either incompetent - or - because the philosophy is “let them play” so the don’t affect the outcome of the game - they passively affect the outcome of the game.

I pay no attention to Craig Button. He just likes to hear himself talk and TSN provides him with the forum to do it.

Who do you pay the most attention to (aside from Wiz)?

A possibility is he didn't interview well. *shrugs*

You make a fair point that I won’t contest... but, if there is to be an injustice then let it be suffered by the team most deserving - the Bruins.

I'm with you, Wiz. Not buying it.

LBR posted a pretty good list earlier in the comments. Honestly, though. I tend to form my initial impression before even reading a lot of them. Just to see if I see some of the same thing they do. In fact, I will watch a prospect the first time without even knowing what number they wear.

Cozens wasn't that impressive at the U18 Worlds. That could be a reason.
