And with the overwhelming odds that we would not get Matthews...
starting to get better was the right way to go imo

Did we really wanna be the Oilers?
I didn't

No. still some work to do. Prospects are chomping for a spot and some seem like they could make some noise in the NHL. only time with the team will tell. Opinions of scouts mean d!ck when it really matters. Next season will (should) show us what what we really have going forward.

He's clever little bugger though. I envision him as some child prodigy. He's really 9 years old, but understands chaos theory quite well lol. Sorry Gerbs, it is what it is buddy. You said you were young, my imagination took hold.

Good call

Sept. '15 has Laine 3rd

"100% wrong"
- sbroads24

I creeped back into this and saw the Laine where he was ranking stuff.

http://www.tsn.ca/elite-p...kenzie-s-ranking-1.364099

I got curious too and looked at the Bobs pre-season rankings and he had Laine at 4

Button had Laine at 5 pre-season
http://www.tsn.ca/auston-...s-just-that-good-1.358947

Laine stock jumped due to his dominate WJC that year.

Not the greatest play by Peterson..

My neighbor Alex Iafallo scores game winner for minn Duluth .... nice, good for him after that achillis injury.

He could play with MS depending on severity and how frequently he has swelling
- sbroads24

And depending on the type, severity, and depending on how the meds work, and how quickly they can find the right one. But if it's MS, and I have nothing to say it is, but judging on Harding and Bickell you're looking at a year without him.

ALS and his career is over.

Tumor could actually be best case. Tumor doesn't always mean cancer either. My step-dad just had a meningioma removed a couple months ago, it was benign, but he had dizzy spells and bad tinnitus. He finally went to the Dr and had an MRI and they found it, and cracked his skull and took it out. He was only in the hospital for 3 days and back to driving after 3 and work(IT) after 6 weeks. But depending where it is it can affect anything.

I hope it's just an overabundance of caution, but it doesn't sound good. The only reason we know he's in the neuro surg ICU is from an unnamed source. The Sabres just say he's under care of team doctors.

I wish I could pay somebody to come take my dog out right now

And his playoffs really helped his cause too.

I guess I exaggerated saying he wasn't top10...
but my point was that if we were gonna tank again, it was for Matthews
It wasn't a McEichel situation where we knew there was TWO franchise guys
