5-1 snakes, B6. Man watching the Cubs is excruciating...pitching change coming. SURPRISE !!

AND... there's a good chance hockey season won't start on time. Better re-up that Prozac prescription....

You know i love Flicker. I want accurate, unbiased, scouting reports on Robbie Boy

You'll get them.

For all the bashing I've read from so many of you while playing catchup on this blog, what are/were you expecting with this pick? Is Tom Wilson or Vasilevski, or any other mid first round picks going to start for their NHL team next year, or the year after? Most likely not!

I heard Bob McKenzie say TT has better hands than Yakupov and has top 3 elite talent! Thats a pretty good endorsement. So he's 165 and barely 18...Any of you guys remember what kind of weight you carried when you were that age? Surely a lot less than now...

Perhaps the Hawks got lucky again with this kid falling as far as he did to us. Key is, only time will tell but it seems like a very solid pick IMO. Now, if Stan would have pulled a complete off the chart pick like Calgary or St. Louis pulled, then I'd be pissed as well. But geez guys, show a little patience and slow down the whining! And no, I don't work for the Hawks!

An unnamed source told me that...

That's gold Jerry...gold!

Seinfelds the Best Jerry........ the best

I'm glad Bowman didn't take a goalie in the first round. Tampa takes the Russian kid a week after trading to get Lindmark - what for?

Too bad goalies can't go in a separate draft when they are 21 years old. Too tough to predict what they will be until they mature physically.
- RickJ

True & the Hawks may not be the best place to develop them either--at least I'm not convinced of it. Wonder what Wiz's thoughts are on the goalie comparisons...still thinking that Mattson could end up as the best of the 3 recent Hawk goalie picks.

You'll get them.

So I go to a community college with people half my age. Who am I kidding, they're kids. I was out getting pissed and arrested when these kids were in diapers. It's kind of odd not having anyone to relate to, at least age-wise. However, the "eye candy" is amazing! I swear 18 year-old girls these days dress like they're in live action soft core porn movies.

College rocks!

Good to hear EK...nice GPA too...things are good up here. Mississauga was sold. Melnyk QUIT and unloaded the club. We're under new management with a new name...the Steelheads....can't wait for the season to start. Love to watch the next generation.

Oh yes. Tis a hoot to watch the kids play.

Whaaaa ?

Even though younger, as a Euro players at least he can play in the AHL sooner.
- Al

I doubt this kid is intended for the AHL - couple games maybe but it's NHL or bust with him.

Brian Huddle had a great writeup on him - best hands in the draft, can stickhandle in a phone booth etc, etc. Lack of size a concern, but it sure sounds like he's some kind of talent.

When I sent my first-born off to school, it was utterly shocking. How else can I just say, "pu$$y galore". Worst thing is my kid caught me scoping out those hard body coeds. All those biscuits .... My only response was, "you will one day understand how a man's mind works, ONE DAY ... don't rush, take your time, Dad's not in any hurry for you to find out!"
