lol was just gonna point that out. Other side has just Portugal & Wales.. but Portugal haven't even been good.. they make it through but only with 1 win... hate the format.

If I were Croatian I'd be insulted.

CBC has just jumped the shark on Brexit coverage.

They just aired an interview with Billy Bragg to get his thoughts.

who dat?

E. Kane? He doesn't belong in this conversation.

(Don't nitpick....I didn't want to think about other wingers too hard, he was the first arrogant one to pop into my head. )

I just see an attitude problem...an "I'm the best don't tell me what to do" type thing.

The fight with a coach when he was younger.
The live interview from bed.
The stuff he says about "he's better that JP and Matthews".

Just a gut feeling I get with this kid. I could be wrong...if you ask the wife it happens every time I open my mouth.

Wasn't it in the middle of the night, which he did to accommodate the North American press?

So, is he too cool to get up? Which is my point.

If that was my kid, he be up, showered and in a suit and tie NOT "ya man, I'm so good I'm just chillin in bed playing GTA while you (frank)ers figure out I should be #1 because I'm the best" type poop.

If I remember correctly, Matthews was in Europe too. He was sitting up in a chair being professional.

It's the little things.

Still one of the funniest/ most awkward things I have seen during an interview. I don't think it makes him a bad person though. He's just a kid.

Very quiet ... wonder if poop can go down any minute lol . I'm hoping, but I hope trades go down during the draft. Much more fun that way.
- MCharisma91

its just media hype as per usual.
You may say a few small trades like every year.

3 ties actually. Hate it!

Yup. It's the same thing every year. And then not much happens. The only thing I can see that would create more activity than usual is teams looking to position themselves better for the expansion draft. Maybe trading guys they would otherwise potentially lose for nothing.

- Fakepartofme

nah, there were pretty big deals the last few years.. leading up to & at the draft.

Staal, Ginger, ROR, Hamilton, Jones... probably forgetting some, but poop goes down usually.

Yeah this is weird to me. Seems like everyone agrees it's a pretty clear top 3 this year. So I wonder what they don't like. Also what does "off the board" mean? Anyone who is not the Finns? Or somebody really off the board?

As of this morning...CBJ hadnt even interview Purjujarvi yet.

Leading up to.
Nothing huge on draft day usually.

- markmark

wait didn't they win a game? WOW I honestly thought they did. Just had to check it..

brutal.

Look at the two sides of the draw.

All the good teams on one side (and England!) vs. all the crap teams on the other.
- Atomic Wedgie

Croatia very good team. Might win it.

I'd say Cory & Staal were huge (at the time)

just because it isn't the Leafs doesn't mean it's not a big deal

- underhill14

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but IIRC, he was participating in the World Championships.

So he wasn't in bed playing GTA, he was sleeping so that he could be at his best to play hockey.

Did he sleep with Jarmo's daughter?

What's wrong with Buffalo writers (even the 'legit' one) being so obsessed with Toronto Maple Leafs?
"how to steal some of Toronto's thunder"..??

Ronaldo struggles playing with the National team. They didn't look like a team that has a chance in hell against a quality club.

- Atomic Wedgie

The interview was recorded during the day - it was not live.
Laine indicated he just wanted to be 'himself' and no false appearences.

I think his relative weak English somehow makes him come accross as more arrogant than he actually is.

That said, I could see Wpg taking Puljujarvi at 2.

yeah I never understood why that is. They almost won in 2004 but that poop was rigged for Greece to win..

and their WC squad (Portugal) in 2006 was stacked..still couldn't win..
