The phones thing with Columbus is regard territory. Just a total ****** move. He got fired for being a weirdo. Not for being a bad coach. He's the equivalent of a pedo in the hockey world.

Yah, thats about right.

I wanted Dobson that draft. I dont know why, but I didnt think Hughes or Bouchard would pan out. After Zadina dropped out of top 5, I knew he wasnt going to be that guy. I still thought we'd get an NHL calibur guy tho. That draft set our rebuild back 2 years. I cringe thinking we passed on 3 all star defensemen for a pile of crap.

I hope youre right about Mazur. He just strikes me as a Maltby type guy and not a Brown type guy. Me putting him in the bottom 6 wasnt really a knock on him. More of a compliment based on how our recent cup teams have been built with gritty bottom 6 guys. I hope youre right and he develops a poor man's Raymond scoring touch.

I dont recall you being nostrajimmy with Seider, but im happy either way. I was positive we were taking Cozens. I was as shocked as Seider when we took him. The trick to being a boss at the draft is getting a couple players in the top 20-30 players. The SCAM is a master on draft day. He trades up and gets 2 good players usually. That will pay off soon. Our goalie tandem and defense Prospects are SCARY GOOD.

We are ignoring this one, SGY?

Yup. We should take him back. I changed my mind. I hate all the players that ratted on Babs, Johan included. Wahhhhh.

Eiserman will be around at 15. He's this year's Filip Zadina. The Scam wont draft that kid. One thing the Scam is awesome at is drafting. Watch him get us some magic this year.

Filppula?

No idea. Fill us in.

If that guy's eyes get any closer together, he's going to be a cyclops.

Yah, Matthews and Marner aren't tough. They weren't tough, aren't tough, and aren't willing to get tough. No coach is going to go anywhere with those guys ripping the team off for regular season stardom and playoff puss. I can see why Babcock started playing headgames with Marner. He's a total ******.

It's well known that the SCAM likes to trade UP. He grabs better players that way. I'm expecting a move this draft to grab one of Buium or Iginla. Those guys are 2025-26 roster ready players. I wouldn't be surprised to see our first, our 2nd next year, and Berggren packaged to Calgary for their pick.

He's the Harvey Weinstein of hockey. The guy needs to get wrecked, but they just won't do it. Everybody wants him to just go away, but he won't. Personally, I think it's RETARDED to give him any press. It would be different if the Zetterbergs, Datsyuks, and Lidstroms of the hockey world were knocking Mike Babcock. But it's always the fringe players that do it. And you know that the fringe players are pissed off at the world because they know they haven't worked hard enough on their fitness to outplay the guys coming up that are grinding constantly to get their chance. So they are looking to blow anything out of proportion to make an excuse for themselves. Zetterberg was the guy playing on pain pills through a debilitating back injury and working out all summer to strengthen his back. Datsyuk was the guy spending 4 hours in the gym every day. Lidstrom was the guy speding 4 hours in the gym every day and playing through a pulled groin in the Stanley Cup Finals. Babcock never had one thing negative to say about these guys. They were professionals, and he never said anything about guys that showed up and went balls out. It was always the clown show players that Babcock treated poorly. Sounds like I'm making excuses for a guy that broke boundaries he shouldn't have, but I DO see the old school side of things. I can see why a 76 year old owner with an 800 million dollar hockey team would want a guy that didn't tolerate any bullshet running things. You get nice guy Jeff, nice guy Lalonde, nice guy Dave Lewis, nice guy etc etc etc and what does it get you? A whole bunch of losing seasons. Babcock is like Voldemort now, though. If people keep talking about him, he's stick around. If people just leave him in the past, he'll just be a part of the past.

No way. That would be cool.

Yzerman is known to trade up

Florida is tough

Amen

So strange that he has to take those with him. His agent must be a total loser. "Mark, can you get Bauer to send 3 or 4 sticks to my home address so I can practice this summer?" "Sorry, Seabass. Can't do it. You know I would if I could." "Ok. The airline always charges me 150 bucks, and I gotta lug em around." "I'll make it up to you, kid. McDonalds on me when you get back."

Im jewish tho, right? Or did we convert back?

Sweet. I want a seabass stick.
