shrader Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 Ahem, has it occured to anyone that maybe video scouting isn't the laughing stock of the league? It didn't take scouting of any kind to be aware of Myers. Every front office type in the league is well aware of what the top level players in each draft bring to the table.
nfreeman Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 Know it for a fact...I heard it with my own ears...The kid has a shot at NHL rookie of the year on top of that he is already our best defenseman. Its kinda funny in a way he is already better than Campbell at bringing the puck out of his end, he is more physical than anyone weve had in yrs. He is Brian Campbell and Chris Pronger all rolled into one.. I laughed when they drafted him...Called him big bird..Boy was I wrong..The team has really rallied around him and they all wanted him to stay... Whoa, big fella. I like My-ears as much as anyone does, but this is way, way over the top. At this point in time, Myers is not a big hitter, nor is he as good as Soupy is at skating the puck up the ice (although Myers is certainly better now than Soupy was at 19). And to compare him to Pronger is crazy. I've seen every game this year and I haven't seen Myers flatten anyone. That's not his game. Now, I'd be thrilled if this time next year we all thought he was a combination of Soupy and Pronger. But I don't see it. OTOH, he might, maybe, just maybe, if he continues to progress and if we are extremely lucky, be a combination of Lidstrom and Chara. And that would be really something.
Stoner Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 stenbaro, your punishment for making sh*t up is to stare at this woman for 10 minutes. Woman, I think. It might also be the late LBJ. Anyway, then say 10 Doug Fluties.

JujuFish Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks Uncle Juju. I'll make sure to study for an extra hour before my next spelling test. I don't want to lose that gold star! :thumbdown: Just spell the freaking players name right... Whoa, calm down there big boy. There's a reason I added a ':P' emoticon there.
X. Benedict Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 They were shrewd enought to move up to get him however.

Whoa......hang on a sec....the kid is good, but Pronger? I Myers is certainly dynamic...but Chris Butler has been pretty amazing himself. Love that kid too, quietly getting it done Billy Hajt style.
LabattBlue Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 ...he is more physical than anyone weve had in yrs. He is Brian Campbell and Chris Pronger all rolled into one. What? Myers has been far from physical(I'd rank Lydman and Rivet ahead of him) and he is nowhere close to Chris Pronger from a defensive standpoint.
jimiVbaby Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 X. Benedict, on 27 October 2009 - 06:27 PM, said: They were shrewd enought to move up to get him however. Exactly. Darcy did move up to take the kid while LA slipped down just one spot to be able to take their guy Colten Teubert. I didn't hear that much chatter about Tyler Myers going into the draft, more like he's tall and can skate. Last year turned out to be his big leap being that he played well at the WJC and won WHL Playoff MVP honors. While Teubert had a solid WJC just like the rest of team Canada, but is getting his feet wet in the ECHL. To be fair though three out of the four defensemen taken before Myers have steady NHL jobs and the other, Pietrangelo, is playing in the AHL but is said to have the highest ceiling of them all.
SarasotaSabre Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 I hate to even ask this question, but are you serious or are you joking? So b/c he is a "new" player, it is OK to misspell an easy name like Myers? If you are joking, I missed it - if you are serious, what a lame excuse - as another poster stated, it is either laziness or stupidity - I say both. I used to think the pinheads who misspell "Jauron" on TSW were the only ones with spelling issues.... :thumbdown: I don't think anyone here is spelling his name as you indicate in your title(Mayers, Mair, etc...). As far as people spelling his name Meyers, he is a new player and it is a common mistake to spell it incorrectly.

stenbaro Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 As we enter, will we go back in time? Sounds to me like a man peeing down his pant leg to me.... :beer: Whoa......hang on a sec....the kid is good, but Pronger? I Myers is certainly dynamic...but Chris Butler has been pretty amazing himself. Love that kid too, quietly getting it done Billy Hajt style. His demeanor against the opposing team is more what i meant in my my mind..Is he the same player as Pronger was 3 yrs ago no, but I would be shocked if he isnt past that mark in a few yrs. What? Myers has been far from physical(I'd rank Lydman and Rivet ahead of him) and he is nowhere close to Chris Pronger from a defensive standpoint. He has shown a good nasty streak. He doesnt put up with any crap, does he knock you into next week witha hit? No I havent seen it yet but I have seen him give it to the player in front of the net more than anyone else on our team and in front of the net is where it counts to me....
inkman Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 I was at the practice yesterday and when Lindy told the team that Myers was staying up they broke into a huge cheer and tackled him like they all just won the cup. It made the hairs stand up..I am starting to think this team might be going somewhere this yr.. U sure about that? I heard it was because he made the shot from across the ice and they didn't have to do laps? Lindy and the rest of the team are going with that story. It's either a giant cover up or BS, take your pick? Know it for a fact...I heard it with my own ears... Anyone else there (besides players & coaches)? He has shown a good nasty streak. He doesnt put up with any crap... I think he has shown a hint of this type of behavior but for the most part he hasn't been as physical as many would like or think that he should be.
LabattBlue Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 He has shown a good nasty streak. He doesnt put up with any crap... I have no idea what you are referring to? Am I the only one who hasn't seen this in his game to date?
Stoner Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 Let me guess, stenbaro. When the Sabres announce Myers is staying up, you're going to post, "Told you so." House was hearing things too. It was his roommate talking to his dead girlfriend. What's your excuse?
Stoner Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 Lindy and the rest of the team are going with that story. It's either a giant cover up or BS, take your pick? I think you have to appreciate how elaborate the conspiracy was. Lindy had to get his team together in the corner and tell them, "Don't give any reaction to what I am about to tell you, but you can celebrate after Myers scores into the opposite net. When he does, go wild. Everyone will think it's because you don't have to skate another five minutes. Now, here's the news: Myers is staying up!" Brilliant!

In that case, the discussion on HD porn in another thread may cause us some problems...

SteamRoller72 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Posted October 28, 2009 Who f***ing cares if his name is misspelled? Obviously I do or I wouldn't have started the thread. It's rude, ignorant and flat out stupid to continually misspell another persons last name considering it's five #%^$#!ing letters long!

What am I missing here?
