I see MTL as the aggressors

Really? I felt Boston has definitely had an edge in play (at least in this third period)

I think Habs had a good share of theirs - Boston had at least several cross-bars and posts which could have ended things much earlier. Either way, just a great game

P.S. this has got to go seven

@incarceratedbob
Seahawks could get a nice WR or go DL (Lee ' Van Noy / Tuitt) some steals available.

Manziel picked 22

To the same team who was supposed to pick him at #4. Not a bad draft for the Browns.

The scouting department is awful. I see another undersized Euro as our first pick this year. I have a faint hope that Linden will finally be partial towards the WHL for players instead of Northern Sweden.
- Beachcomber

What undersized euro have they ever used a first pick on, Einstein?

There's no need for the Canucks to scout or be partial to the WHL more than any other JR hockey league.

NEWSFLASH: Technology and other advancements have allowed teams to scout leagues all over the world just as well as the ones that are geographically close.

B...but Lucic, Gallagher, and Benn got missed...

They also got missed by 29 other teams multiple times...

A good player is a good player. Who gives two (frank)s where they come from...

So you're saying we're not the only ones who suck. I am so relieved, after reading some of this poop I thought we were (frank)ed for another 2 generations. I think I can sleep now. Goodnight all, and remember "we are not (frank)ed"

More like Aaron Rodgers 2.0. Guy was ranked #1 and fell to 23. How stupid were those 1st 22 teams
- Bieksa#3

Manziel's solid, but no way in hell is he a future HOF'er like Rodgers.

Eagles....ouch.


Bills though...



Rams made 2 great picks...lucky (frank)ers.

Hextall - “No, analytics is where we’re going. I’m very interested in it. It’s very intriguing. Why I have an analytical mind I have no idea, but I do. You can’t overvalue it, but in my mind it’s going to become more and more and more valuable, I think in all sports. It’s another tool. Why not use every tool available? You still need eyes on hockey players. You need that. I don’t think that will ever change, but the analytics – I wouldn’t say it’s a huge part – but it’s going to get bigger and bigger. I’m interested. It intrigues me.”

Good write about the Canucks situation.

Even with more space Garrison still can't hit the net.

Bigger nets?

This is starting to remind me of when the Bruins hired Peter Chiarelli from Ottawa.

Hate to say it but a great move by Boston

I love draft days I even bought a draft hat this year.

Surprisingly unbiased for TSN or blatantly obvious the Darren Dreger had absolutely no input on this article?

It took me a few tries to get past grade 12, hence the goatee (that was picture #5).
I was also a lot skinnier the first few tries through.
