Robviously Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Again, for one last time...he HAD MONO LAST YEAR! Could you imagine playing hockey with mono? It wasn't until his lethargic second half of the season where the effort questions popped up....when he had mono. I don't think it's a coincidence. I'd love to believe it was ALL the mono, but there was talk about him not showing up to team meetings too. He's probably got some attitude. It could be nothing or it could pretty much make him a bust long term (or one of those weird NHL stars who you just know will never win anything).
TrueBlueGED Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Girgensons! Love it! He's got size, and is super aggressive. And skill! Wow I thought for sure Teravainen, but I'm thrilled here too.
Iron Crotch Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Yes! Another big centerman! Strength and size down the middle... two top-15 picks. Hedge your bets in case one doesn't turn out. I like it.
Eleven Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 IDK what the Sabres are doing, but Darcy just looked like a pimp right there.
Trettioåtta Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 lol - two big Cs - but let's not give DR any credit for this. Why would we do that? Last 3 firsts have all been European...
Jeanbe Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Live feed? Anybody? U-Verse doesn't carry the NHL Network, WTF!!! CNBC
frissonic Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 eff all y'all, regeir is a frickin' genius.
Robviously Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 GIrgensens! Wow, loved this guy earlier this season. Big, tough center.
TrueBlueGED Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 I'd love to believe it was ALL the mono, but there was talk about him not showing up to team meetings too. He's probably got some attitude. It could be nothing or it could pretty much make him a bust long term (or one of those weird NHL stars who you just know will never win anything). That's probably fair. I just think the effort talk has really gone over the top with him. Questions, sure. But people are acting like he's a total slug which I think is really off-base.
sabres13 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Awesome he's big, mean and a centermen and he can play in Rochester this upcoming season!
Iron Crotch Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Derek Roy is so ridiculously expendable now. :D :clapping:
Trettioåtta Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 If Subban somehow drops to 44, this draft would be awesome! trade the 3rd rounder to move up to early 2nd if he is still there?
frissonic Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 holy damn, we just drafted two centers. is the world still spinning? or is it me?
TrueBlueGED Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 I really hope Girgensons heads to Rochester next season...from the scouting reports I read he's probably ready for it.
Eleven Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 In 2015, we'll have two decent centers, one great d-man, Enroth in goal, and what else? I am annoyed.
SarasotaSabre Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 from Wikipedia - impressive summary: "In June 2011, Grigorenko was selected second overall in the CHL Import Draft by the Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL.[3] NHL Hall of Famer Patrick Roy, the owner, general manager and head coach of the Remparts, liked Grigorenko so much that he traded up in the Import Draft in order to select him.[4] Grigorenko moved to Quebec City with his mother and older brother, Yuri.[4] While he initially didn't understand English, Grigorenko took classes five days a week with a Russian teacher and by the end of the season he was able to conduct interviews in English without the aid of a translator.[4] Grigorenko played in 59 games during the 2011–12 season, his first in North America, and recorded 40 goals and 45 assists for 85 points. He led all rookie players in the QMJHL in goals and points, and was second for assists. He also finished fifth overall in goals scored and was tied for eighth overall for points while playing the fewest games of any player who was in the top ten in points.[4] On March 20, 2012, Grigorenko was nominated as the top professional prospect to play in the QMJHL during the 2011–12 season.[5"] [edit]
TheChimp Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Yay!!! Now my Latvian GF has no reason to avoid watching Sabres games with me :)
