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.

Generally Finns are VERY good interviewers though...

I did not know this.

Thx.

The media didnt show any after parties after the vote lastnight.. i wonder why... they are baffled... seems like a power to the people moment.. Im happy for the leave party.

some interesting stats posted:
66% people who left school at age 16 voted leave
71%of those with university degrees voted remain.
8 hours after polls had closed, Google report that searches for "what happens if we leave the EU" had more than tripled in the UK.

Many people didnt seem too sure exactly what they were voting for.

Even the politician who said the UK would save about 300 million pound per week is now saying that number is not exactly correct.

From what I heard the number is closer to 190 million about breaks and what the EU was giving back to the UK.

I don't blame him - the questions were brutal.

"You guys really sucked out there. Why did you suck so bad?"

Faaack Italy plays Spain to get through then possibly has to play Germany... holy poop that's a tough road.
- Aaron_85

Fack italy.

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

must be ignorance.

They weighed their feelings of national elitism over facts. Way to go!

Yup.
Idiots.

or stupidity
quit buying into media hype.

They'll be trades as per usual, like I said.
Not so sure about huge trades.

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..
- MCharisma91

Italy for the win! The headbutt heard around the world!

lol i never said there's gonna be huge trades..

all I said is never know because year after year leading up to or at the draft, there ARE big trades that go down, and that's a fact.

Not buying into anything. My life doesn't suck for me to always be negative either. Sorry.

Fack italy.
- Fakepartofme

lol why does everyone hate them?

It seems only Italians like them.

that applies to Italians in general..

Italian people always go on about being Italian.. Who gives a poop, (frank) Italy they (frank)ed up!

I'm a fan of the tournaments and support teams from the "roots." I always support the Oranje but this year, my other half has been a wonderful story. Never thought the viking half of my family would do so well!

I also grew up in a predominantly Portugese neighborhood. Spend any time around them during Euro is terrible. The World Cup is even worse because as soon as they lose all of the sudden every Portugese person is also Brazilian.

My hate for Italy isn't real and is just irritate my brother in law.

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.
- Atomic Wedgie

Yep, you're right. Both were.

Just my thing I guess. I have kids, I teach them respect. If he is going to do the interview....get the (frank) out of bed. It's not that hard.

(Believe me, I am far from the conservative ninny type....but I'm not running around saying I'm the best player in this year's NHL Draft. Show a little respect.)

They seem to dive and whine even more than the usual soccer diving and whining. But I only watch every few years.

Wow, now I think even less of him. Get the (frank) up kid!!!

Edit: Does he think he's Val Kilmer in Real Genius? (frank)ing rabbit slippers in the locker room next???

Do you think the poorly educated benefit from labour mobility or freer capital markets? All they see is the danger from those who they think will take their jobs. Like in the US a growing economic divide brings irrational political outcomes.

Plus, they're all racist.

I remember when you said "Leafs aren't getting Babcock" - "Leafs aren't getting Matthews"

shut up. When poop doesn't go your way you don't need to be salty.

I only "predicted" trades due to history, but never guaranteed anything.

If he uses a military satellite laser to make his entire team popcorn, we will know for sure.

- MCharisma91

Uh...no there were a couple of trades....there are usually a few trades every year on draft day....most of the time...they arent big trades.

Its ok....trades will come....I know you've been waiting for this day with bated breath and a box of kleenex. Im sure you even cancelled your Dungeons and Dragons usual Friday night gathering in your friends basement and told you mom months ago, that between 7-9pm the TV is yours.

But deep breath.
