I get your point, but I wonder how much weight it carries?

First Niagara Lounge behind my section? Club level right behind me in sec. 223 But that doesn't make sense as the people that are in there are there for the entire game so maybe that's not it.

Agreed. When's his nine games up?

LOL me too. I've taken to listening to Rich Gensler at Noon. He's pretty good and would be so much than Schopp the dope and ha ha bulldog. And music when I cant take Gr's garbage anymore.

What have you seen of him? I can't comment on him much to have a strong enough take on it. The Russian in Dallas? Yes I would but I have said previously they wouldn't but then who knows if we throw something else into it. But can you tell me why you are opposite many on here saying he wouldn't be enough? Of course seeing Tyler play you can argue that we are way over valuing him.

That's cool. Road game, old friends. I suspect he will play a toned down game. Somewhat. But if I'm betting, Saturday night at home against Toronto, injured or suspension coming.

So you get my point about it raising his value. Thank you. And I mean by that comment that he isn't going to take abuse on end without getting pissed off and doing something about it. I LOVE THAT! Of course you don't want him throwing in the NHL. The fact that he has that soul speaks volumes to the guys heart though. So I keep hearing about this trait in Eichel but here it is from McDavid. He is my heart and soul guy from the next draft. Whoever he ends up playing for I hope his skill elevates him so far above everyone else he wouldn't be fighting and breaking knuckles and such. But it will be fun to watch when someone does push him, he may very well be pushing right back. Looks like he can stick up for himself just fine and wont need anyone to do it for him if need be. Of course he will be a target so he will have to let the battle go on away form him so to speak and Cody Mac or someone else clean it up.

McDavid's injury only boosted his draft status to me.

I'm thinking Matt Dagostini might be an upgrade!

So now what am I supposed to do then? Start looking again?

Holy crap really? Well all that and 1.4 Billion dollars gets you the Bills. You forgot about that part. Highest bidder....

Agreed but time heels old wounds right? Or in this case makes it even worse!

He's not on my team at all if I have a say so in the matter. As bad as it is here, he is not worthy of ######. Get him outta here.

As a majorly disgruntled STH with a ridiculous invoice that arrives annually for this crap let me tell you something. I want to say you're wrong but that would come across as harsh and not what I mean. But I see you've repeated this mantra several times. Even though I am going to bitch and moan about the product on the ice and the invoice I get annually that always goes up, NOBODY is holding a gun to my head forcing me to cut the check. So as a season ticket holder there is most certainly some culpability here. However as bad as it is, I'll never get my seats again should I choose to give them up and that reason keeps me a STH. For how long is the question though. Get me McDavid and I am not ever giving my seats up as I am sure the future is bright and will last a long time. Eichel moves the needle enough to say I'm still on board. Oh ######. Now I sound like a tanker lol. I'm not really though. But I'm also not stupid. I know there's a reward at the end of this ######. There has to be. If not we will soon be back to a STH base of about 6000 and I just don't see that happening. We will be, Hockey Heaven! Sooner or later :-)

True about the age thing but not so sure about the talent level but I do like your point. Interesting thought but I don't have the time to go dig up film of the guy! WTF I'm not a pro scout and I slept at home last night. Not a Holiday Inn lol. I don't remember seeing it mentioned but shouldn't our second overall pick this year have been able to make the case that he also would be our best center? Hell ya! It will give a real true measuring stick to the whole argument watching them compete head on. That should be a great tourney and hopefully that is the highlight game. I like the thought. It just seems so far away. I thought last year was the worst. Now, not so sure. But assuming either McDavid lands here, he alone improves our lot in life. Something that none of those others can do and I don't think Eichel comes in with the same level that McDavid does. Something I heard on the broadcast tonight, we were chasing the puck too much. I guess this sums up my feelings on these two guys. With McDavid, we're controlling the puck. With Eichel, we're chasing the puck a lot. To me that means Jack needs a better supporting cast than Connor. Connor is much more of a one man show if you will.

I missed seeing Jack in the prospect game. I saw Connor at the F'n arena. Not that anyone should draw a conclusion from any one game though. In the limited games that I have seen, some video but probably no more than anyone else here. I have to say this about all this crap about 1, 1a etc. Jack is invisible often and Connor is controlling imo. The guy. I'm not sure I understand why we compare these two. I don't see them as equally same players. To me they are Crosby/Messier neither is wrong but they are very different and I don't get the compare. For me: 1st pick: McDavid 2nd Eichel Maybe I am feeling my Buffalo just in case it doesn't work out that for all this crap if we don't get McDavid? But if I think of Connor I think of Sweet Georgia Brown run by the Harlem Globetrotters. It just happens. Sweet Georgia Brown. Natural. If I think of Jack, I think well maybe some of the time he could be Messier. I think. But there is no music playing. I don't like that. These two do not strike the same note for me and this is RIDICULOUS to say this given their age but, I see the skill factor of Connor far outweighing the total package of Jack. They are very different players but given the choice at this level, I HAVE to take Connor. To me the clear winner is whoever gets Connor. ... and now the redundant apology for starting a new thread on such a topic... It's Eleven O'clock. Do you know where YOUR children are?

And that's the great thing about sports. Tomorrow we will have very angry Enroth plus pissed off embarrassed team. We beat the Pens 3-2 you saw it here first! Never mention it again though okay?!.

Sure but any El Pegual propertiy that exhibits this is not likely El Pegual property very long.

Me too but it was a loud environment and likely didn't hear the follow up. Thinking a Zach Kassian situation but with our guy this time just being there not involved though. Totally guessing at that scenario.

I'd do it straight up. Pretty sure they wouldn't though.

Are you shittin me? You mean to tell me the interwebs finally fixed that fatal flaw of having to have a third party host your pics? Are you shittin me?

Energy supplied in the building only happens now when enough opposing team fans are here. Toronto, Montreal etc. and to be sure it is the wrong energy! Agreed I technically disagree with you but understand your point. See above. The two years after the lockout are full of trendy season ticket buyers that yelled at the games and will again. And most of them are still onboard I believe. But to be clear it is the team that has sapped all life out of the building with the product they have been putting out year after year that has gotten worse and worse each year. The place is like a library some nights but I'm not losing my voice for a team that wont shoot, can't score and displays no passion on the ice most nights. That may sound a little bandwagonish but I assure you, product equals passion in the stands. We are not Pittsburgh with a great fun team only to have a library for an arena. Too many corp seats there now and maybe winning is just ho hum to them. We are not Toronto with a corporate season ticket base that isn't even watching the game regardless if the team is good or bad.

Aye Aye

Interesting. I think I would have to say Guy Lafleur. Dodges flying beer cans and takes shelter.

I think they should buy the station that is showing reruns and Bucky & Sully WBBZ. They would have that show, the Fred show, make a couple new ones, simulcast wgr morning and afternoon shows, Hockey show and John Murphy shows and for content filler replay it and or create their versions of that. I disagree with you that their isn't enough content to do it. They may have to get creative to do it but they certainly could imo.
