HYPE! LGRW

And why no Booth on the PP? Hes been there b4 when he was a force in Florida. And he brings a lot of energy with him to the ice (something our PP desperately needs). In Florida he was averaging about 16 min a night on the PP! Have I played a lot of sports? Yes. Have I coached a lot of sports? Yes. Are Dehaan and Cole a thing? No. But one thing ive learned is some players are good at practice and some guys are good on the PP. Are we gonna win the cup this year? No. So should we instead be using this time to experiment with David Booth on the PP? Yes. Booth has flirted with 30 PP goals in a season before. Why wont blashill try him there, too busy dressing up in suits JUST LIKE MIKE BABCOCK???? Yes. Booth could show these kids a thing or two about how to conduct yourself in this league. Have you seen he even wears his wedding ring under his glove during games? Yes. What a class act. Hope that rubs off on the kids. I wonder what his wife thinks too. Shes so lucky. That cheesey smile. That long beach boy haircut. That Detroit swagger. Those big strong yet gentle arms... OMG just play on my PP David, ill be forever yours.

Mickey Redmond is 70 today. Happy birthday, Mickey!

CHOO CHOO MOTHEREFFERS

all aboard!

@kliq what I tell you

Nope but keep making crap up like you're known for. I'm curious if you even believe your own lies or if you'll just say anything to try and make a point.

"Accidentally"

Eager to see this newly rebuilt Devils team, seems like they got their act together quick in NJ to become respectable again. Last two times I made a negative prediction we won, so i'm calling 6-1 Devils.

He may be referring to https://www.draftsite.com/nhl/mock-draft/2018/, who have Bouchard ranked 5th overall... However, if this is the reputable source, you really need to find better sources for your draft rankings. This one has to be one of the worst out there in my opinion. As for actual reputable sources, Bob McKenzie has him outside of his top 20 preseason rankings https://www.tsn.ca/the-year-of-swedish-defencemen-1.852963. Craig Button had him at 23 in his pre-season ranking, but moved up to 20 on his list last month https://www.tsn.ca/craig-s-list-dahlin-dominating-one-canadian-in-top-10-1.915356. I guess you can also consider a couple Sportsnet guys to be somewhat reputable... Jeff Marek had him ranked 13 on his list last month http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/sportsnets-2018-nhl-draft-prospect-rankings-november/ and Sam Cosentino has him ranked 14 on his list this month http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/sportsnets-2018-nhl-draft-prospect-rankings-november/. I usually just go by the TSN rankings (Mac and Button), as they usually tend to be the most accurate year after year. A lot of other guys usually go for the hot takes, or purposely go off the board with random players, just in case they rise or fall, they can be the ones to say they knew when others didn't... For what it's worth, here are a few other random sites, that I personally don't take a whole lot of stock in, but I'm sure some do... Hockey Prospects have him ranked outside of their top 31 http://www.eliteprospects.com/draftcenter.php?year=2018&layout=&ranking=Rank5. International Scouting Services have him ranked at 13 http://www.eliteprospects.com/draftcenter.php?year=2018&layout=&ranking=Rank3. Future Considerations have him ranked at 16 http://www.eliteprospects.com/draftcenter.php?year=2018&layout=&ranking=Rank4. McKeen's Hockey has him ranked at 28 http://www.eliteprospects.com/draftcenter.php?year=2018&layout=&ranking=Rank6. I don't know much about Bouchard other than his stats, as I haven't done much research on many of the draft eligible players yet, but if we could get him with the Green trade, I'd be thrilled.

Ummm... need to correct yourself further First you said he's in everyones top 5. Then you corrected yourself and said he's between 5th and 13th on most sites. But in reality he’s hovering in the mid 20s

He asked for a source. Not more fake news.

Reptilian shapeshifters confirmed

What are we? Snakes?

I cleaned up a lot of the mess and sent our friend packing, but please, and I urge you, report content like this in the future and we will respond a lot faster than just stumbling across this stuff browsing through the forums. Matt doesn't pay time and a half for Christmas so yes, we were on holiday yesterday. I tried to not remove anything of substance but the last half page or so was just bickering so apologies if your post was deleted. Carry on my wayward sons.

*hiss*

The most legit authority I tell ya.

He makes stats up in an attempt to make his points.

What are you talking about? There are only 20 forwards in the entire league that average 20min/night. Mostly superstars. Once again, an issue you're so passionate about yet know nothing about. Maybe do some research first before you act like you know better.

You don't know that. Maybe Blashill has tried him on the PK during training camp/ practices to see how he does and he might have not been good at it. We don't know about the ins and outs of what goes on behind the scenes. If anyone has played a team sport here then we should all know that coaches try tons of combos and ideas during practices and based off what they feel about players act upon it during the game. Team practice is the best place to see players strengths and weaknesses and roles. It's easier to assume things from your seat at home when you have no idea about what goes on in these players/coaches environment behind the scenes. As far as the last 90 seconds, I agree with you, I would have put Mantha out there.

Nobody wants De Haan and Cole other then you, lets move on.

Who?

I'm not joking, he literally makes up stats to try to prove his points
