So Brad Marchand has been suspended. But it isn't like Danny Briere is angel boy out there. He's known for being sneaky dirty, particularly with the stick. And he'd carve your heart out for a goal. Yes he's classy with media and fans and a team leadership guy. But what about Marchand other than the Salo hit has everyone all annoyed at him? If facial appearance counted here no one would be all swoony in memory about Brind'amour. It isn't that he plays a 2-way game at his size, something Danny doesn't do.

Are we perhaps confusing him with the former goony head hunter weenie with the similar last name (who somehow is just hovering on the edge of my brain--Todd Marchant???).

Todd Marchant played but he's was particularly heinous, he was just big and goofy but big and goofy can get you a lot of NHL seasons.

Brain Marchment was more of the heinous thug type so you may be right.

Seriously can't wait for all of it to begin. The draft, buyouts, trades, Free Agency. And looking forward to the game tonight. If I can stay awake. I guess a loss tonight would spell the end for LA. Anyone think that Kopitar is hurt?

He had Morin rated 13th. There wasn't a mock draft with it so I'm guessing he still does.

I like him but he's so detached I think he's just guessing.

Not sure but if he and Brown don't start putting the puck in the net that team is fried on a stick like a bad Fair Twinkie.

Well he has said he ranks them how he feels they'll be as a pro not just based on their junior careers so take it with a grain of salt.

I have only watched some of the NHL playoffs, had spent more time watching juniors through to the Memorial Cup.

I considered going to the NHL draft but the Devils are making you enter to "win" draft tickets so that's more of a long shot.

No doubt. That has to happen, or they don't have a chance. Shows how hard it really is to win the Cup. Everything has to be there. Including the health of key players. I really think Kopitar has an injury of some sort, and possibly Brown also. Kopitar is a much better player then he has shown in the playoffs this year.

Button's rankings are kind of like those hot-100 lists... is Miley Cyrus really sexier than Kate Upton? Probably not, but it makes for nice entertainment and gets people talking... about Craig Button.

These threads are often like an argument with my wife. We start out arguing about her credit card balance and 30 minutes later I'm defending my criticism of our new drapes and she's ready to leave me over it.

I don't think anyone's confusing the two. He's a chippy little gnat. He'll give you a shot when no one's looking. He was a playoff pest a couple years for us. That's all it is.

He's had to clean up his game so he can stay on the ice more as his offensive touch has developed but he'll still kick the feet out from under Crosby when he thinks no one is looking.

Sounds exactly like Danny to me.

Just so there's no misunderstanding, I was being snarky when I said we're still taking Morin at 11. I dont actually believe any such thing.

And most tickets are for Season Ticket Holders. They will be purchasable for them apparently.

Please girl, we're arguing over if I like her new dress that she won't try on and today she's mad because I hacked her facebook account and posted about it. There's no pleasing women.

I just wish draft night were tonight, so we could all argue about how high our draftee's ceiling really is
