Bettman got cross checked off the stage by rabid buffalo fans?

Good, good. The plan is coming together.

You know how I feel like about Ron Hextall? Get your bookmarks ready because I've felt this way for two years.


I'll sum him up in my mind in one word

"Cheap"

We all have that cheap friend who doesn't give a little extra. Doesn't mean I hate Hextall or that friend. I just feel like I'm gonna wait a little longer for the pay day. Konecny and the new kid might be a match made in heaven but this strikes me as a project.

I think it's weird that the NHL has their own representative announce the pick

Hahaha. Totally slipped my mind since he was in chl. I am slow

Nah, not nearly the same as drafting a kid out of Russia.

Flyers believe were it not for Russian drug scandal involving U18 team, Rubtsov would have gone higher -- top 10.

I already loved meldonium for keeping Sharapova in such great shape.

No one wants to see Bettman go up 30 more times

Hexy just made a phone call????

Centers with 2-way games. Wingers with pure skill.

Rubtsov now needs his Konecny

Ordered pizza. Could've got two pizzas tonight, but traded down for 1 pizza tonight and two tomorrow night.

Hinkieing pizzas. I like it

Is it weird that Rubtsov had his name sewed on his jersey, I think? He had to have been their target all along. That doesn't usually happen this late, does it?

Make some awkward intern do it

Rubstov and a trade back? Larceny!

What is the kid we drafted player comps?

Have to imagine they have nameplates for everyone they want, and just sew them on real quick leading up to it.

Winnipeg didn't mind after lucking into the 2nd...an embarrassment of riches.

Not sewn. Velcro.

Not everyone does though. Just stupid thought on my part....

They obviously coveted him though. Called him a top 10 talent and didn't take more than a minute to take him.
