RD who freaking cares who the best is in Utica. You need to look at who is expected to be an NHL player and bring them up. I'm not saying you bring up a crappy player.

If the idiots had done their homework they'd realize that McEneny has been Uticas best defenceman all season

The obsession with Jordan Subban is very similar to the cities love affair with Steve Kariya. This city loves a brother act. The 3 biggest sports radio morons on the planet - Taylor, Moj and BMac were aghast as to why Subban wasn't called. They hadn't even heard of McEneny before? How the hell have those 3 idiots lasted this long in sports radio?

Taylor needs to retire and start up a YouTube channel for "all things 1970's." I gotta new name for Taylor - Yeterdays News.
Agree on McEneny - far more likely to crack Canucks lineup in next 18 months than Subban. Would rather see McEneny up here instead of Subban.

Making a mental note - "Reefer has dreams of Jordan Subban being another PK Subban the way Reefer once had dreams of Steve Kariya being a Paul Kariya because they are brothers which means it's a given"

lol - not even close my good buddy.

Just saying that referring to a list like it is gospel is useless. It means nothing and we only have these discussions because sports is 24/7 now.

Add Hutton and Rodin to the mumpets
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Rumor has it that Rodin contracted the mumps... in his surgically repaired knee :shock:

That guy has worse-than-Canuck luck.

Hearing now that Hutton has had the symptoms of the virus since the season started. Makes sense because he's been shite from day 1.

It must be the mumps that is forcing him to make boneheaded plays like his turnover last night that lead to the Boedker goal. At least the mumps has made BHutt stop smiling like an imbecile.

Nope. We're 27th right now. Good chance Dallas passes us and we land in 28th again.

Vegas gets the same odds as us, so we're pretty much 27th.

Doubtful we can shit the bed bad enough to get to 29th. Arizona was on pace for 68 points.....they just traded one of their top 2 centers for draft picks, no way they improve on their pace. We would need to play .210 hockey for the rest of the year in order to finish with less than that projected 68 points, and the Coyotes probably won't get to 68 points now anyhow..

Nobody is catching the Avs.
