The 91 of Ryans 3,015 Report post Posted April 30, 2019 So Dallas are playing St Louis. BBQ throwdown. Also, no matter who wins, Dallas wins. Because they drafted Heiskanen and he is very awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well it's not really a secret that Swedes have been our most dominant Euro draft selection in recent years. That probably has a lot to do with our Director of European scouting (Hakan Andersson) being Swedish. Point was, "We don't draft Finns" is incorrect. 4 in the past 5 years says otherwise.

So, it's not that we wouldn't have drafted Heiskanen, because we clearly have no problem drafting Finns, it's that we wouldn't have played Heiskanen, because apparently "We don't play Finns"...

I think it would have been between the two. Maybe they would have gone with the big defenseman though, especially with all the Lidstrom comparisons at the time...

Maybe in 1920 when they came to work for Ford but now tis not true. Not in Dearborn. There was a large exodus of the Shiite Muslim sect after the Lebonese civil war in the 80s. You may be referring to overall population though such as West Bloomfield, Commerce Township etc which includes the Christian Iraqi's (Chaldeans) and Maronites around Livonia, Michigan. Anyways wouldn't matter; they'd still root for the dude. You ever seen Lebanese and other arabs band together for Soccer? It's insane. Either way, f*** Kadri. I'm not a fan. Ironically I'm meeting up Kadri's family friend this week and will likely talk s*** about Kadri to him. Let me know if anyone has a few words to say to Kadri. Happy to pass along the s*** talk.
