He has a big time release on his shot.

He goes to the open area and the puck seems to follow him.

Will he be as good as Stamkos? Tough standard to meet. But, so far, I think yes.

I believe the Oil make the playoffs this year and do some damage in the post season.

They are still missing a big piece on thir back end. I don't think it is Subban. But, the Oil will find a #1D over the next eight weeks. When they do, a lot of people will pay attention.

I am a big fan of J.Bo from his Panther days. It has the potential for a very great match all round. J.Bo takes care of his own end, he makes a very solid first pass and he can support the rush. The Flames need picks and prospects. This is the kind of deal that fans on both sides could love.

Except for the fact they'd have to trade with their hated rival

All you trolls can only hope that is what happens the truth is the scouting now is so good that number one draft picks rarely fail and usually become stars infact in recent years many more have become super stars than busts

Run on sentence.

I could say we won the cup, but that would be too easy. I could also say our goalie didn't have a mental break down and poop himself when it really mattered. But again. That's too easy. Ok how about our captain is actually a captain and doesn't female dog and complain like a little girl? Or would you like to talk about how your team would likely be non existent if you didn't luck out like you did with Sid? I think I made my point(s) good day sir.

I could say that I've watched the Penguins win 3 cups in the same amount of time it took the Kings to win one, but that is an easy response. I do agree that Fleury went batpoop crazy, but he wasn't alone and I'd still take him over 90% of the goalies. I like Brown, but I wouldn't take him over Crosby who might female dog and complain but he is one of the top 3 players in the league and I could point out that the Kings very likely could have failed in LA in the Oilers didn't sell off Gretzky.

Yakupov was very selfish with the puck and did not help out Grigorenko. Grigorenko just kept giving Yaks some great passes and all Yak did was shoot wide most the time with Grig wide open in the slot, a bust.

Why the hell was Yakupov playing with Mikhail "cement skates" Grigorenko? You wanna talk about the next Daigle, look no further than Grigorenko.

In Soviet Russia Yakupov Nails you.

Dare you to post that in Garth blog. Would love to see it.

But don't...cause then you'll cause chaos and I'll have to actually do some work.

as opposed to how your team had the ingenuity to go out and BUY Gretzky to prevent it from being sunk?

Oh and Brown's a whiny female dog too. Get over yourself.

(would love him on my team, but he whine's and dives as much as anybody)

Many fans seem almost desperate for him to turn into a bust.

so you're saying they're do for a bust?

Let me guess, the Oilers will trade Eberle + Yakapov + Gagner + 1st for Bowmester

Go play your games in the Pens thread.

Blogs are getting better by the day... my question is..... who is Richard Cloutier?

Or better yet.... Who is writing these blogs, and what did you do with Clouts?

Go play your games in the Pens thread.

It's dead and we all get along with each other over there. They are talking about the Pirates and Nationals. I hate baseball.

He's the next Calder winner they already put his name on it

Piece a monkeys crap!

anyone can be the next Alexandre Daigle

any draft pick putting up 34 pts in 18 games in Jr. is "NHL ready" and then when called up and end up putting in 37 pts in 47 NHL games... screams potential.

however...

if Nail puts up 17 pts in 50 NHL games that is when you say:

The Next Alexandre Daigle !

$h!t... maybe that is what happened to PRV ?
- Rimland

1st overall picks don't usually bust...














....but when they do, they prefer to do it on the Sens

Considering all the hype about Yakupov, he was pretty average.

Yakupov was very selfish with the puck and did not help out Grigorenko. Grigorenko just kept giving Yaks some great passes and all Yak did was shoot wide most the time with Grig wide open in the slot, a bust.
- flyerdude17

Which is why he ended the series with a goal and three assists, one of which was a highlight reel seeing eye pass..because he's so selfish with the puck. Keep your stupid in Meltzers blog plz.
