Just saw the Boosh bomber has 91 points. That's crazy production regardless of his gaffs. That shot sure butters his bread

Dare to dream.

Helluva group.

Kent Hughes should be able to put a Cup winner together with that foundation in place.

Pertinent to historical posters

Cody Glass, drafted immediately after Scooter, has 19 goals. Scooter, 15.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

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

Crosby & Ovie on the ice together today.

End of an era?

Last time?

Don, I've mocked your boy BooshHard for years. I thought Dobson would turn out to be the better overall RHD. Looks like the guy in EDM is pulling ahead, if only slightly.

I still don't think EB is very good defensively or is that great of a skater. Playing with Jesus and Ze German no doubt contributes to his success... butt, I must admit he's improved greatly (offensively) in the last 3 seasons and has been flying way under the radar this year.

I give him props Evanthough he still looks goofy with his cross-eyed stare.

Cole Caufield... a few teams are probably kicking themselves for not picking him earlier due to his size. Ahem, Canucks, cough....

39 of his helpers are secondary assists, 17 of those on the PP.

How many times has he whacked the puck up the wall and McDavid or Ze German have then put in the work to setup the goal?
Somewhere in NW BC trying (yet again) to trade a(nother) Swede…..

The hate gets old

The guy is a good offensivley skilled player.

Perhaps not 10 sheets a year good but the market is the market and good for him for cashing in.

This GDHTMB lashing out at players because they hurt our feelings or play for the "wrong" team is weak.

Were you referring to me or Mëds?

I've admitted my old perception has changed and I've warmed up to his play... even though I still like to mock anyone wearing the Oil jersey.

No matter the hate, I've always had great respect for McDavid and Draisaitl's talents.

I'm guilty of this too, but it is humorous to hate on other teams and ex-Canucks while we ice an all-time bottom-feeder with 54pts.

No one.

Just making a general statement.

Y'all are entitled to your own opinions.

Nice 1st Faceoff

Ovi and Gino across from each other giving each the gears and elbows, Strome gets himself waived out so Ovi can come in against Sid.

He also elevates his game in the post season and in that series against the coilers noticeably outplayed the mighty quinn. The hate isn't warranted

Torts was right. Far too much love in today’s game. Not enough hate. Everyone is friends with everyone.

Detroit out of the playoffs 10 years running.

Yzerman 0 for 7 playoffs as Wing GM.
