@Tanner,

playing Duclair and Domi together again is a good start, yet not having Strome or Dvorak as their C baffles me. Against MTL Hanzal was always 2m to late to the plays or utterly surprised about a puck coming his way....

Hanzal was bad, Schenn was bad, Doaner was good imho on pace with Rieder and Martinook.

Too bad this will be another season of learning and waiting (feeling like an oiler without all the 1st overalls....)

Well done with the Sugarcubes link, sir.

9th place would be great

Won't matter, we can out-draft anyone with Benning (I actually like his drafting thus far)

I mean, if we're being honest with ourselves, Weber hasn't been better than Subban since 2012. Weber hasn't been 100% Weber since Suter left. Steady decline that was hidden by the emergence of Roman Josi.

I’m hopeful about the leafs in that sense too, but who has benning drafted that has been good in the nhl?

He's been the GM for two years....Jesus man give him some time

Tanner? Are you being held hostage? Blink twice if you're ok!

Talking about experience, how the experienced team beat the inexperienced team, how the Coyotes are learning how to win, i.e. gaining experience.

Are you feeling ok?

He just needs to not talk during the draft. Were there ever any penalties announced for his boneheaded remarks about Subban at the draft?

Ehlers for sure, but Jakes just needs more time and a coach who'll play him regardless of his youthful decisions.

Willie has 18 pts in 26 games

Virtanen 13 points in 57 games

But its not for sure who's better

The game isn't just about points, but it's nice for your argument

(frank) it. Have a good night bud

So when does opinion become just stupidity or doesnt know what the (frank) hes talking about.

Tanner, you have a great look on alot man. love it. But It's mind boggling that you can't be objective or you can't let go of the hate you have for certain franchises when it comes to hockey.

Say what you want, its your (frank)ing freedom and right, but you sound so dumb when you talk about hockey teams we know you don't like... why even be apart of the hotstove....? why even try? you know no one is going to value your logic, when its cluttered with unfounded analyses.

Its amazing what you have to say about the habs. Id suggest you keep to talking about teams that you actually watch. And if you do watch most teams and most games then you just have little to no hockey IQ. It's embarrassing... You sound like Jim Hughson... with your back handed compliments and when you write your predictions... you can tell its full of poop.

there were 28 players who scored 30 + goals.. mtl had 2 even dispite a season mared with injury and a ton of bullpoop. what makes you think with the addition of radulove, lekohnen shaw a healthy galagher ( who was on pace for 30 b4 injury) couldnt put the puck in the net more often this year?

Its amazing when i think back to what you would say about PK b4 the olympics and how high you praised weber... not it seems like every hater on this site, has reversed their script. PK is god, weber is a has been. Do you not realise how dumb you guys sound?? Its incredible.. almost all the networks are pulling the same poop. PK the best, weber, hes slow and not as good... mtl wont make the playoffs...
- munky123

Tanner has been saying weber isn't the same player as he once was for ages now. And has maintained pk is truly elite for as long as I cAn remember . Neither of these are new at all


As far as the habs, I don't know why what he says is so crazy.... They haven't proven they're anything more than a bottom feeder without price carrying them on his back , so why does a temperamental Russian and some other random euro kid all of a sudden change that ?

It's possible the habs are decent. Especially if price is all World again. But it's not unreasonable in the least to say they're mediocre st best at present either. And rather prudent to say they're aren't close to a cup contender

Nylander is significantly better than Ehlers, and I think Ehlers is good.
