It looks like most of the Oilers are trying to get something going with Manning...

I hate they have no one to respond. Rosehill and Rimaldo time, sign them for rest of game and get at it.

Manning just needs to get pounded.....so Hagg can come up

Patrick is still great. I just wonder if he won't be more on the Sean Monahan-Jordan Staal spectrum than the next Kopitar. Hischier is just a lot more dynamic. Patrick has a long injury history too, which is a tiny bit worrisome, though I won't presume anything.

He's not the size pick. That's Michael Rasmussen. So much size.

yep, but do it by trading pieces that won't be back and bringing up a few pieces. This is obviously not a cup team.

The Green Mile too. The more I watch it, the more I think it's better than Shawshank...

Blush.

I admit it. I think Ulysses is up there with the Mona Lisa and the White Album and the Pyramids.

How's Coots doing as 2 C? Still absolutely killing it in the Corsi, I hope?

I don't get to watch as much junior hockey as I used to, but from the limited sample I have watching both of them I agree. I would just take hischier over Patrick without even really thinking about it. I feel as though Patrick will still go one because of his size. But anything can happen.

Which King books would you recommend reading? My work has been ungodly slow and i've been looking for some books to check out so i don't kill all my data within 10 days
- arichardson22

If you read The Stand, MAKE SURE it's the original unabridged version.

(Since it was his first book and he was unknown, the publisher refused to print a 1200 page book, so he took out about 400 pages, entire characters were deleted, yikes! Once he became well known, he had them publish the original version.)

I'm watching other players a lot more than them tbf. I've seen Patrick a ton because of Provy and he's been injured most of the year anyway. Haven't seen a Brandon game. Hischier I saw almost every u20 game and a couple Halifax games. But my time is probably better spent watching others than daydreaming on Hischier vs Patrick 1 or 2.

Though watching this team right now, maybe that should change.
