No, he was playing it cool. Not saying poop until a team calls his name. Are you suggesting had it been Buffalo, Arizona or TO he would be acting like a college boy at a kegger? C'mon, your grasping for straws.

In terms of quantity yes, but outside of crosby not quality.

Go ahead and name better US players than Canadian players. I'll wait.

Stamkos, Toews, St. Louis, Tavares, Keith, Shea Weber, Subban.

All US is what, Kane and Parise that could be considered in that stratosphere?

You should see the hockey developments happening now in Buffalo. You want to talk world class training facilities.. you should visit and get yourself a glass of our Pub's cherry wheat beer

And then look at defense .....Suter is the only US player in Doughty, Keith, Weber or Giordanos class.



And yes, I left Subban off that list.

He's no stranger to Buffalo. He's been to several Sabres games and trained here. He also trains with Gary Roberts with Reinhart and Hodgson. Fact is, he's more comfortable here

And we have more than a gym.

Currently maybe, but wait for the next wave of Eichel, Jones, Hanifin, Matthews.

Other elite non-Canadians (not US I know) Ovetchkin, Malkin.

Using current players means nothing though because they have no effect on how good Eichel will be.

and by then, McDavid, Dylan Strome, Hall, Seguin, Ekblad, Bennett and MacKinnon will look at those US prospects in the rear view mirror.

Loving the pictures on social media of the NHL Draft Lottery Banners floating around..... putting a funny spin on something that is just basically "insane".

I can't comment on your post with Martin St Louis as someone fudged up the page but.......

He wasn't drafted and made a name for himself playing US college hockey.

Yes he is Canadian but he made his way to the big show the same way Eichel will.

Fixed the page! Didn't really know the friendly width on it, my apologies. And St Louis is just for argument sake that he's Canadian and that Canadian bred talent is better than the American's as far as hockey goes.

But at least the US knows how to build teams

The issue is when making an argument pinning US vs Canadian, selecting a guy that made his way threw the US college ranks might not be the best way to go.


ps. Toews and Keith went the college rout as well

Matthews from the sound of all the hype > Strome, Bennet for sure, maybe Seguin/MacKinnon (I'll admit I know nothing about him but better than Strome and Bennet for sure).

Can't Judge Ekblad/Jones/Hanifin yet.

Eichel >> Everone there except for McDavid.

Did you really use Bennett as an example over Reinhart?

all sorts of holes in what you just said.

Also yes. From watching Bennett and Reinhart, Bennett has more upside. Hell, even rank Monahan higher.
