He's been useless so far this season.
- Pecafan Fan

?

His PPG is way ahead of his career so far and even ahead of his best year PPG (last year).

You may have expected more...but I don't think he is useless.

Playing with Desharnais, who seems off to a slow start may not be helping.

Also, do the Habs have a new coach? New system?

Apparently Therrien just broke them up. You're lookin at this tonight

Bourque Plekanec Gionta - Cause lets face it, they're your best line right now.

Pacioretty Galchenyuk Gallagher

Prust Desharnais Cole

Moen Eller Armstrong
- t_leafs21

Yeah, he is just one of those guys who I expect to be "done" all of a sudden. Every year you wonder if this is the year he falls off the cliff.

These are the guys I have a habit of picking in a pool... the same year that they actually encounter said cliff.
- Aetherial

I feel your pain.

"Oh, wow, Cole had 35 goals last year? How did that happen? Hell yes, I'll draft that guy!"

Two more observations from last night's game:

- Phanuef was - once again - the best defenceman on the ice (both teams). Anyone who suggests otherwise has an agenda, and is probably wearing agenda glasses from Eklund Optical.

- How 'bout that short-handed Reimer save? So far, save of the year.
- Atomic Wedgie

I totally agree on Phaneuff. The guys eats up big minutes against everyoens top guy...Takes a lot of criticism. Sure he has issues hitting night at times with shots.. But he is a horse

Riot!

Geez, I know Armstrong is Bad, but they didnt have to Burn Him!

That Pacioretty is a warrior though

Warrior? warrior's handle business and dont call the (frank)in cops for back up

Orr is about to catch up with Phil Kessel.
- Pecafan Fan

No doubt about it, Kessel has been awful this year. Simply horrible.

Of course, he still has more points than any Hab, but still...

Not as good as me trading for Ovechkin in the offseason before he imploded (keeper league). That's ok though, I have Giroux on that same roster to keep me afloat...

Who is the winger playing with Gally and Gallagher?

Masterton Max?

Yeah well... I drafted Grigorenko. I heard he's a superstar.

I don't think the sarcasm came through in my post. Sorry

My best Pool accomplishment...

Last year, In a 20-round, 10 guy pool.

My last 3 picks were:

Karlsson
Pacioretty
Filppula

My bottom 2 had more points than my first 2 picks (Getzlaf and someone?)

It's just that, the other day, I was informed he was an Elite Goal Scorer.

Everyone thinks of Gretzky as the greatest playmaker in the world - yeah, he had a lot of assists.

But let's not forget that Gretzky also scored 92 goals one year.

So am I comparing Gretky to Kessel?

Absolutely.

Except Kessel has more speed.

And they both have terrible hair.

I think it's pretty obvious in watching Luke Schenn play, what his potential is. As well as knowing how important that type of player is, in building a top team.
- MJL

We all knew this guy wasn't quite right, but his bromance with Schenn is getting a little weird - even for MJL.

Gretzky's daughter is hotter. Maybe Kessel can adopt one day.

Too far?

- markmark

He is doing OK for me also in a Category pool. Off hand I don't know who is leading the category though.

He gets decent points, every year. He is usually a good pick because he tends to fly under the radar.

Edmonton.

Just ask Mrs. Pronger.

He's also good for hits.

The hockey world warned you guys about Cole. Might be a good buyout candidate alongside Kaberle.
- systemtool

don't forget that they used up 1 free buyout already gomez ....

Mark Fraser is a HUGE pickup....what a steal.
