they can show lots of love too, we're very passionate and bipolar with our hockey players.

who ironically became a horrible coach that ruined the career of hundreds of players.

No one saw the game like him and know one else ever will. Impossible for him to coach players who could never understand his hockey language. He didn't need to be coached, everything was natural instinct and 360° vision. How could help a 4th liner?

Even at 12, I knew it wouldn't work out

He always wanted to be a Sen. This wouldn't get in the way of destiny

I know, I was kidding lol, you can help out a player go through his learning struggles but you can't teach innate talent and vision.

he actually admitted that in retrospect going to Ottawa was a mistake, which I appreciated. he was far from perfect but I like the honesty.

The NHL probably wants to say the same

Went for a 14km run, drank a rockstar. Now watching the NFL combine.

You?
- mr.peanut

The NFL is not in its off season? It never stop. And whats a rockstar?

Not much this morning, taking it easy so far. About to make myself a non black tasty coffee to start my day.

I may have to wait a while before I can go buy the running shoes, but Im glad I got a pair to walk around like a CHAMP.

also the Rock is on fire

- mr.peanut

meaning, they'd want to admit having an NHL team again in Ottawa was a mistake? as much as I hate them, they look like a top-notch organization when compared with some of the other current teams...

Point is, do they really need these points at this point??

That’s my point..

Combine is where college prospects do drills for scouts. An energy drink.

Black coffee

Un vrai champion like my VGK

Look better since the melnyk family sold it

You can suck for a long time, but if there is no Ovechkin/Crosby/McDavid/Matthews/Bedard coming up you will keep sucking because it's rare to have a high pick turn it around. Soon you need the guys you already have to start winning

well if you like Brayden Point so much why don't you marry him...

Didn't know the cleft palate caused comprehension issues too

and even with a McDavid and a Draisaitl in their lineup it hasn't been all smooth sailing for the oilers.

yeah the "ohs" are becoming more and more random.

Nope, but McD makes a huge difference compared to their other 1st overalls

- mr.peanut

and even then, you have to do a good job to surround your mega star, or whatever you want to call them

Im not saying they are not trying to do just that, but the Oilers and Leafs are still working on that

Chicago will have to do the same, otherwise Bedard wont be able to win shiiit there

Ovechkin won a cup and thats it. Its not easy to repeat or win a few, even with a guy like that
