    2017 Draft

    The irritating part for me is I actually agree with Mackel's original point. Given there is no clear better player, I would select the North American (which is most of the time going to be a Canadian). But not because "Canadas gots hearts" or culture or orthodoxy or any of that weird nationalist BS. Id do it simply because NA boys play on smaller ice which I believe makes them more adapted to tranisition to the physicality of the NHL. However if a euro player even shows a hair more ability, ill draft the euro. Place of birth is not a good predictor of talent among hockey markets. May as well select by hair color. And theres many advantages to having locals on ones team. Thats a whole other story.

    Which of our Michigan players is paid high end? Are you suggesting that because the team has favored locals they should start favoring Canadians? Just trying to clarify where you are going with this

    Hockey orthodoxy? Please show me in the hockey bible where it says Canadians have the most "heart"? Seriously. Are Canadian hearts simply bigger, or do you Canadians have multiple hearts or something? Please educate me, as I am not well versed in hockey orthodoxy being a heartless American and all. Do you suggest starting with the book of Cherry? Anyway, you side stepped the question. I'll state it again. As an American, if I said I prefer drafting American players over others, you honestly wouldn't think my own status as an American would play into that? It's a simple yes or no

    2017 Draft

    Well yeahhh I'm American, Seattle is listed as my location right there lol So if I said "I prefer to draft Americans over other nationalities" because "Americans have more heart" you wouldnt think my citizenship as an American played into that at all?

    2017 Draft

    You stated you'd pick a Canadian over others because "enviroment" and "culture". You don't think it's relevant for me to ask which culture/environment you yourself are from? Look man, you're obviously Canadian, why are you afraid to admit that?

    2017 Draft

    So what area of Ontario are you from? No need to get defensive, I haven't disagreed with you once yet. I'm asking you why you blatantly show bias toward certain nationalities. Is culture/heart the answer you're going with?

    2017 Draft

    Oh we have marginal Canadians as well. We don't have any high-end Finns on the team. Is this a dynamic we need to add?

    Tomas Jurco traded to Chicago for a 3rd rounder

    Tomas Jurco traded to Chicago for a 3rd rounder

    I'm a regular visitor to Milwaukee, but Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers were coming there as early as the late 1600s to trade with the Native Americans. In fact, Milwaukee is an Indian name pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land."

    What if Datsyuk didn't leave for the KHL

    I remember the road to winter classic where Helm and Smith were talking at dinner, saying when they look up the ice they just try to find number 13 and send the puck that way. This team would have been a helluva lot better with Datsyuk on it. Maybe even squeaking into the playoffs caliber. The trickle down effect of having a Center of that prominence effects the entire lineup. Sadly, Z cant do it alone. Had this team been better prepared for a cup run, I could see Dats postponing Russia. Unfortunately it's not, and he may have done us a favor long term by forcing us to start the tank now. I really feel awful for Zetterberg. If we can somehow go all in and rebuild quickly and get him one more run before the end, id do it, even at the cost of the team longterm. He IS this franchise now. His hardwork deserves the front offices support in this sense I think.

    Tomas Jurco traded to Chicago for a 3rd rounder

    I apologize for my comments about Emdog. Jurco should play on his wing in Switzerland, if he's not too busy making youtube vids or shopping for dresses on Michigan Ave

    Tomas Jurco traded to Chicago for a 3rd rounder

    Well I'm glad Jurco and his GF enjoy the many "things to do" in Chicago, because they have a lot more time to do that now. He's a healthy scratch after registering no points in 6 games playing next to Hossa. For his sake, I hope they have plenty of "things to do" in Norway, where he'll be playing next season. Phenomenal trade Ken

    There Will Be Blood - Kris Draper

    Cause Drapes was a quick little s***-disturber that didn't fight. I think they didn't necessarily like McCarty, but they had respect for McCarty.
