Embarrassing for Ovechkin

That was an absolute garbage effort on his part in the 3rd.
- classic321

You think of the situation they were in, all the years of struggling all the pressure and the all star lineup they had and with something like 7 minutes left in the period they had been outshot 10-3. Ridiculous, they deserved the boos from their fans

Ovie is like kessel ...can't be the guy ...

A few months ago I made a statement that you need a couple Canadians to be stars on your team.
Washington (& Vancouvver 6-10 years back)perfect example of what happens to good teams in playoffs without those key ingredients.
Until a team proves me wrong I will promote to take a good Canadian with our first picks even though I do like Heiskanen and Valimaki this year, I am hoping for Glass.

Not interested in any president trophy I want a Cup.

I want Glass too . I think he would surpass Bo in a few years and that would make one of two centers drafted in the next four years better than what we have now.

Vilardi or Glass are my choices as well. IF Vilardi could improve his skating like Bo, I think he could be on par with Hischier/Patrick in a few years.

You are missing the point. Look at Bo as you would look at Jordan Staal . Everyone including myself like Bo and want him to be great.

When Staal was with the Pens behind Malkin and Crosby the Pens had a three center combo that had potential to win a cup.

Staal alone in Carolina has no chance of winning a cup. We want to find players better than what we have now, .This current team has no chance of winning it all. We need to find better players and our best chanc is through the draft.

No one is insulting Bo.

So you think he is going to regress?

Portland is the 3rd youngest team in the CHL and youngest in the WHL.

His team should be on the up and up

Nope, he just gets picked before we're up.

If he is picked and Heiskanen is picked and another Dman and Glass are gone we get Patrick. That's cool

Probably right. I am fine with Rasmussen.

At 5 no way, would rather Lilejgrin

- Reubenkincade

I don't think he is top 5 but we will get either a good center or a good D .

Bellichick traded his picks for players this year and Brady is aging. He's gonna try to win another one or two before he's done.
- golfingsince

Agreed. But they should keep Jimmy G if Brady is done in 1-2 years.

Probably right. I am fine with Rasmussen.

JB has his guy. If he thinks he's getting picked before 5, he's got work to do.

He's next on the chopping block.

Personally I wouldn't take a defenseman top 5, the best of bunch is Heiskanen. Also don't think Rasmussen is top 5 but he is a top 7 imo.
I wouldn't touch Liljegren, he has been BRUTAL in every game I have seen him play, about 8 times.

Lot's of hype around Makar. I am not promoting him or knocking him, just saying his name is coming up a lot lately.

Someone might. This draft order will probably have a surprise again in the top 5 or so.

Get your popcorn ready ya bunch of drama queens.

Makes sense for Colorado to take a defenseman.

Vantel-Makar may be a decent player, way to hard to judge playing in that league. It is like trying to judge a player playing US High school(Mittlestadt). Neither are in my top 10.

I had fettuccini with bacon in alfredo sauce for supper. (frank) was that poop delicious.

and now after that drive yourself straight to your cardiology appointment

They need a culture change, still a lot of good young players there, build around Backstrom and Kuznetsov.
