Are you saying LA wouldn't be a better team with Crosby? This could be a once in 25 year draft with the two guys at the top. We came in dead last in the previous season and it wasn't even really close. Somehow because LA won a couple of cups without a Superstar (although I think Kopitar is) then we shouldn't be disappointed if we end up 5th or 6th last then last?

Is it good Matt? Haven't had a chance to pick up a case but plan to for the weekend. I guess I could have driven the 2.5 hours across the boarder for it. But then if I want to buy anything to bring back I have to stay there for atleast 48 hours. This makes it much more convenient to try. Although I'm sure it will probably be priced about double what it is down there....

Weave - I agree with you that we have a lot in our system, especially on D which is huge. That's something that's been killing Edmonton for a few years now. But after having 7 mediocre to crap years and especially 3+ years of 'suffering' then I want more then one season of something more than middling picks. The future is so bright already that think what one superstar could do to it. I don't want some improvements in some areas and a 10th place finish when McEichle (coupled with our deep prospect pool) can potentially make us perennial contenders. Do you think Boston or LA doesn't have room for a Crosby on their team? Think how good they would be with someone like that (especially on a rookie contract).

I want to go back to cheering for playoffs and wins as well but I agree with those that think it will be a failure if we end up with two middling 1st and one late round 1st after this year. Many of the pieces are in place but who do we have that is dynamic? A guy a team has to game plan around? It's because we have all of the other things in place that I want one more huge tank. Imagine how much better guys like Reinhart and Grigo will be if they can play second/third line centre minutes rather than needing them on the top line. We already know how that worked out when we had to force Derek Roy into top line minutes. You can't find the Crosby's in free agency.

I know what I'm drinking tonight. http://www.thestar.com/life/food_wine/2014/10/01/delirium_tremens_controversial_beer_arrives_in_ontario.html

@sabres26 - Isn't GMTM handling the young players exactly the opposite of Darcy. You are complaining that young guys are being sent down unjustly. With Darcy it was the opposite. He played Grigo before he was ready and was intend on burning a year of Zadorov's contract as well before TM stepped in. Not sure where the similarities are coming from.

Thanks Chez. I know I won't get it on the lower channels up here but I have Centre Ice and they seem to show some (but not all) preseason games. @ Tank - I can't think of who else would not be here for the first 9 games but it seems strange having Girgs on the fourth line playing 8 minutes a night. Once Sam is likely sent down and Girgs moves up to the third line, him Foligno and Stewart will be a very fun line to watch.

Anyone know if MSG is picking this one up? Or anyone else for that matter?

I would take that too but I'm not sure it's a slam dunk. Keep in mind Marshall is really banged up. He had something like 20 yards receiving in week 3 and if he didn't score that TD this week (I know if if's and buts) he would have ended up with very little this week. You have to compare who will get better quicker, the Eagles Oline or Marshall's ankle. Funny how things work out sometimes. In one of my leagues I am set to pick 2nd overall and I'm hoping McCoy falls to me. Just before the draft my internet craps out and restarts (what are the odds). So when I finally get back in the draft they auto drafted Charles (Peyton went first). I was so disappointed but after watching last nights game it could be a huge blessing in disguise. Funny how things work out sometimes.

Ironically I also had the majority of my team on the bye last week but it ended up being my highest scoring week yet. Do I have to put my top 2 picks back in my lineup? Guess I have to....

He sure has. That's what pisses me off the most about Manuel's play and specifically the teams play from last week. The AFC East is wide friggen open and the Bills just continue to suck too bad to even take advantage of it.

So in a money league I play in I had Brady, Ridley and a one point lead going against Gronk. How the ###### do I end up losing by 0.3 points?!?!

I would be disappointed if I owned McCoy as well but you are really selling low at this time. None of those offers sound great. I'd stick with him unless you can get a wr1.

I think 9 is a pretty good estimate. I think I'd take the over though. As a full out tank supporter I hope I'm wrong.....

I'm with you Dennis. I also have a twitter account but there is so much noise on there that must be filtered out to get to the good information. CB took the time and posted all of the relevant info we wanted. I know I miss it and hope he returns.

The link worked for me and it looks fantastic. Thanks a bunch for these Peppy. I always have it as my desktop picture for my home and work computers!

@qwksndmonster - I love your signature! Everytime Liger posts anything I always see his signature quoting himself. Liger I've enjoyed reading your posts, especially the last few months and appreciate your knowledge of prospects but dude, I can't believe you are quoting yourself in your sig. Gotta get that out of there.

Ok 26 Corner Blitz has gone AWOL around here but is very active on another board. Who was it that pissed him off? I want names because I miss the constant flow of information that he would post.

Amen.

My team is horrendous (although romo finally doing something helps) so I don't know how so many of us could all have such bad teams haha. There must be a few gems out there.

I didn't watch all of the game but he almost made a beauty pass on a 2 on 1 to Stewart but the d made a sprawling play to just deflect the pick enough.

I just want to thank glass in ensuring I don't become the 2008 Detroit lions.

Oh ya he's a regular full time now. Question is how long will it be until he's a top pairing guy?

Ya I think there are already a few that have that potential. Guys like Possler and even a third rounder like Baptist seem to fit that bill. He's a goaltender so it happens more often than players but Ullmark, a former 6th round pick, also looks like he could very well be the real deal.

Ya if he was wowing the coaching staff then I would have no problem keeping him up but that's not the case at all from the (admittedly) few games I've seen of him so far. He appears destined for the whl unless something drastic changes.
