Yep. I'm actually really excited by the whole turnover. The prospects we snagged, the draft picks, the next steps for Lias and Chytil. And, I might cut a hole in date night with the wife this Saturday to see the draft lottery!!

Top 3 here we come!

I am not disagreeing. But it’s a situation like in NY where he does everything but score. For Boston, that’s why he was brought in as a rental. So if he doesn’t light the lamp, especially if they lose Game 7, he will be viewed as a failure.
- airjan23

You're absolutely right, Jan. But, I look at it like buyer beware. We know that Nash is no longer an elite goal scorer. If Boston wanted to take a chance that they could change that, that's their problem!
Personally, I just love the guy. He has proven to be a consummate professional who never let the disappearance of his scoring touch effect the way he approaches the game. And leaves it all on the ice every game. That's the player I want on my team, regardless of statistics.

DONT ROOT FOR THE BRUINS

they lose, our draft pick gets better, in first round and third round

I know that, Jim. But me cheering for the Leafs is like you guys cheering for the Isles or Devils. It just ain't gonna happen.
Not to mention, every once in a while I remember that we don't actually have an impact on the games, so I might as well be happy.

That would be good for everyone. He will be nice and rested for the cup run with Tavares scoring 100+ points.

Bingo!

On another note,
...does anyone know when they are going to announce the schedule for the series that are already set???? 3 series are locked in and they have to wait for the last one?

lol. I thought of that after I posted! So, just two games with an empty net? That's a bold strategy, Cotton!

Who cares about those other 2 games.. you know what I meant..

I was going to write 52 but I like round numbers, apparently like I like my girls. F.U. Chiefs

I am with you on this. I love the way he approaches the game. Yes, not for $7.8 million annually, but the guy plays the game right.

He's also one of the biggest bums in playoff hisotry. I want him to aid in the demise of the Bruins here and never see him again.

I dont think Rooting for the bruins translates into Wins.... just saying.. I dont think there is a direct correlation lol

You do you TONY!

Plus, if they win it's $100 for me!! Only 6 of us in the pool, 4 others picked the Preds to win the Cup. I have Boston beating them, even though I hope Winnipeg can do it first!

I think of him as Martin Hanzal. Decent center, but probably won't score a ton. But they need deoth down the middle. So I'm good with it.

I like the fact that he produced as much as he did in big games for them, hopefully he continues having the clutch gene

I love the fact he was good enough to represent Canada 5 times on an international stage.

maybe one day he can slot in behind Chytil as the 2C..

Having a very good under 18 tournament for Canada. On the radar.

So, 20% of the time we are going with an extra attacker??
Just wait til Peter gets here!!
- Tonybere

Yeah I left that alone.

3c.

Sign Tavares, Trade Zib to Dallas, let Hayes be the 2c this year. Then eventually trade Hayes. Instant Cup.

- jimbo83

Shoots right handed. Move him to the wing, bingo, bango, bongo.

I cannot wait for the draft.

Yeah I left that alone.
