This games a bit of a yawn. Moar NA!

The guys on Overdrive brought up a good point, that this isn't even Canada's full line up. They're missing Keith, Benn, and Seguin. Pretty crazy.

50-55pts would be a great 1st season IMO
- Symba007


I'd be pleased with 50 - 55. I'm also hoping to see a decent defensive game from him too. If he can put up a fair bit of points while also helping to keep the puck out of his own net, I'll be happy.

Oh btdubs, the view from my place right now:



We managed to get a place on Semiahmoo like you recommended... sadly only temporary though so we need to find something more permanent

Sweet! Too bad it's not more permanent. Beautiful place!!

For Matthews? Yeah. I think 60 will be a reach for him in his rookie season.

Not Laine, though.

Uh oh, sounds concerning. Not everyone is able to make the jump to the NHL and the Leafs haven't been so great at cultivating home grown talent. Toronto Sun better get down there and find out what's wrong. Babs is gonna have to earn his money, he didn't inherit a super power like he did in Detroit.
- Hatboro_Swords


No worries. I'm sure the Sun has already photoshopped a picture of Marner with a pacifier in his mouth. Such a classy paper.

Marner will be just fine.

Laine will likely win the the Rocket Richard.
Less than 50 goals will be a terrible disappointment.

you guys are a little conservative i think.. He's going to have good wingers and get a lot of minutes.

If he doesn't break Selanne's record he may as well retire.

It's beautiful to look at, but it's about 15-20 years old and definitely has issues. If we were here longer those would drive us nuts. Still, there's lots of beautiful places in the area so we should be able to get something figured out

I look at it more as tempering expectations.

I'm hoping for about 50 points and solid two way play out of Matthews this year. That's still no small thing for a rookie player to achieve.

If he does even better, which I admit is very possible, then I'll be ecstatic.

Well he's already clearly better than eichel so let's add 5 to 10 pts to whatever he's projected to get.

Last I played there probably 30% of the homes were empty. I can imagine they need some work.

Yeah... most seem occupied now from what I can tell, though there are a number for sale right now. We'll probably end up closer to Bellingham to be honest, there's much more going on around there

i already am ecstatic.

hes not an ordinary rookie. so many factors play into why i think 50 is low. His maturity, experience, size, and IQ... Very rare
