Yep... Other teams have sucked harder, longer then us.... They don't catch nearly as much crap.

Those other teams also don't spew as much BS.

I was already sick of it at the H.O.P.E stage

I call is Sarstration.

3 games into the season and now the answer to the woes is... drafting 1st overall

Not just that, but you get to let RNH play in his rightful role as a 2C (ouch for a 1st overall pick), and let the youngster Draisatl develop in the shelter of 3C by instantly anointing an 18 year old as the 1C.

Where do you guys get these bloggers?

Like with the players, management etc. us hb posters don't have a say in the hiring of our blogger.
Or were u speaking to a higher power?

Also, u talk about getting too hasty about calling for mcdavid, but then make reference to nuge hitting his ceiling at 21 years of age.....

Good post

Hey, I'm neither player nor management... Why do people feel the need to try there hardest to make me feel like poop.... I don't get it.

"I am tired of seeing Katz's kid grow up before our eyes during the draft. Dude is gonna be of legal drinking age soon."..........

I think this says it all! Dammit

Zach Bogosian/3rd for Jordon Eberle....

Oilers get their big Dman that can hit, skate and shoot the puck.

Jets get some skill to compliment their speed/transition game.

Exactly. Spoken like a true fan.

I don't think ud find one. And as u say, they probably go hand in hand. But it seems as though he might be suggesting that looking at advanced stats has to be totally secondary when we're gauging who to make a move for.

Is he a winner?
What's his work ethic like?
Is this guy gonna make an impact every night?

It scares the sh1t outta me to think we'd deal a star 65 point snipe for a 50 pt grinder. But is said grinder still battling, forechecking and making life miserable even when we're up by 3?
Is he goin to spear his grandma to get the puck even when we're down by 4?

I love Ebs, and I wouldn't trade that kind of talent lightly. But he's a skill player that is invisible for much of the night. Even when he does get on the board. It's just his game.

Those qualities I mentioned are pretty much the antithesis of him. I don't even mean that as a slight to him. It just is what it is. Maybe his style isn't what this team needs right now.

Funny part is though ; if we did get to that next level, his skill set/game is exactly the type we'd be looking for to get to the NEXT level

I'd prefer to look at swapping Ebs, Petry and the '16 first for Brouwer & Carlson.
Alternative, if the Ducks are looking at Petry, then him & a 3rd for Smith-Pelley.

Would be a whole lot worse in E-Town if the eskimos were 1-13

Cause its our fault. We decided to have this team.

- The-O-G

not you... No one listens to you... jkjk. No but I hate the face that people come on here all like "Lolz your team sucks" but that's all they have to say... Especially when there team haven't won a cup in longer then we have... If your a kings fan, chi fan, boston fan.... Ya I get it... You got a solid foundation to work with... But it took HOW MANY YEARS TO GET IT... 10, 20, 30?????? Come on.

Booooooooooooooooo!!!

I just don't get why management hasn't brought in more leadership talent. I appreciate FA's you have brought in, but none of them are true top line or top pairing guys, who also show leadership.

I also thought you were crazy going into the season with two goalies that hadn't ever played more than 20 games each per year. Fasth and Scrivens are good goalies, but they are unproven and not guaranteed starters. Why MacT didn't sign a Miller, Hiller or trade for Halak or someone is crazy.

He should be held responsible for that.
