He's starting to come together as a dominate player and a leader, still has a ways to go though. Too bad, that now is not the time we need pointless wins, save it for next season.

That's some damn good company.

And Gerbes coment on Vanek above ?

- cabin


Gilbert was easy. I sort of new Vanek, I remember him doing well from the start. And, I kind of figured either Martin or Robert from the French Connection was probably benefiting bit time from Perreault. They were before my time, though, wish I could have seen them play.

I know that it's all about image you probably work out like the rest of us

of course but i do it to stay in shape, not to spend four hours trying capture the perfect lighting for my snapchat story. Every time a friend does that I wanna punch a hole in the wall.

Should see the kids in high school these days. All of em on 8 different supplements, either starving themselves or eating protein by the tub load and dressing in supreme clothes. Just the saddest thing i've ever seen

I was lucky enough to get into hockey in 73 i think. Was down at camp listening to the radio when the flyers eliminated the sabres in 75. Yes I cried .

I really hope you have a younger sibling that's in high school, or a much older sibling and a niece/nephew, or that post is really creepy.

Getting the team playing as a team is more important . They really looked impressive the past 2 games . not gonna get my hopes up but we know how they CAN play.
No Captain for Jack till next season.

Four in the top 8... .500
Two top two. .500


See the pattern...

- gordong



And the further down u go...
the worse it gets

Picking higher is generally a much better option
It’s not even arguable

Wasn’t someone in here blasting his mouth about how Price was gonna get traded & would never play for Montreal again?

Wonder what happened to that guy...

The only person we drafted is Jack Eichel

I wouldn’t call Vanick a franchise player A very very good player and if we draft a Vanick in this draft would any Buddy be upset

My point is, Stanley Cup champions are built many different ways.

Yes, the Pens have two elite players picked at the top of their draft classes, but so does Washington.

Boston won their last cup with a core of 2nd and 3rd round draft choices (Lu, Marchand, Krejci, Bergeron) and a savvy trade here and there (Chara).

Putting your eggs in the top 3 pick basket has gotten us nothing. We pick where we pick and let's just hope the GM and his scouts have done their homework.

Agreed. I just hope they keep it together, play well, but somehow sill lose. Only 32 more games and a top 3 pick in this draft will help for years to come.

I know, I was replying to the gems found "all over the place" because your question was vague. You said who have we drafted that was not top 5? Ryan Miller was not top 5.
