only six picks after Teemu.

I didn't know that. I only saw him in the WHL when he was with Prince George.

Tavares out, not that it matters, other than my pool. Argh.

yup - lot of what if's this year that make the difference, what if we had better goal-tending, what if Bryan Little hadn't gotten hurt in the first game of the season, what if Trouba hadn't held out and had played all year, what if Calgary hadn't suddenly gotten good for some reason, what if we had signed at least one free agent goalie/defenseman so we didn't have to play guys like Postma, Melch and Nogier (though we've been winning with Nogier and Melch, just like we won with Melch in the line-up last year too, what's the nature of that David Suzuki?), what if we hadn't had that horrible schedule this year....lots to ponder. Next year it will be interesting to see who makes the line-up. I think it's time to say good-bye to Thorbs, but I also don't see the point of bringing up a new young kid to play 5 minutes a night or whatever the 4th line is getting. Petan is kind of wasted on the 4th line too. Will he move up? Or will he be moved out?

they've already beat last year's point total with 3 games left to play. Some progress. Just need people to be healthy next year. Little and Trouba and Myers healthy/playing for a majority of the year could be the difference.

what's Bloi-Dei Dorzan doing these days? I'd like him as a coach just so I get to say "Bloi-Dei Dorzan" again.

I agree Melch and Strait are pretty bad but at least they hit people and take the puck away. I just can't watch another season of Toby handing the puck to the opposition in the corner and bailing to avoid a hit, or standing in front of the net doing nothing because he's too small. I just can't do it!!!! I need to get some kind of technology that blacks out Toby whenever he is on the screen so I don't have to watch him and feel so much shame.

Replace Toby with anything, even an orange traffic cone, and I will agree with you.

Chrisvel Thorbovsky

or Tommy Boy

18 points in 58 games. We don't have enough guys like this, need more.

That actually looks brutal. What's Helle doing on his knees????

That Armia goal was amazing. I had to watch it about five times just to process it. Beat three guys and then the goalie. I only score goals like that in my dreams.

on his moped

Valdemort for #1 pick. I really want to see a good young Canadian receiver again like in the days of Joe Pop and Rick House. JFG is a proven plug and Addison Richards may finally make it through a training camp without breaking something, but I'd like to see Kyle roll the dice here and pick a receiver.

after that thorough trouncing/shellacking/total destruction of the Canucks yesterday where is the tank now parked?

Still not sure what the man-love over Stanley was all about...

high receiver draft picks always seem to get injured early in the season and end up watching on the sidelines all year. At least when we pick them anyway. Or they just stink, like Harry Potter Etienne.

Joe Mack on draft day...

"and with the 12th pick...Montreal chooses"...(Orridge pauses)...oh good grief, could someone wake up Joe Mack so we can get their pick????"

yeah or scheming on how he can get invited to go with Walters to Dairy Queen for "old times sake" and then quickly snap pictures of all of Kyle's research while he's in the bath-room. I looked at Mack's Wikipedia and there's nothing on there about being hired by Montreal, so that's why I didn't know he was now with Montreal. My bad.

Thorburn should take Buff's spot as QB of the powerplay with the first unit. Roll the tank!!!

but it also could end up being the worst #1 pick of all time. There's that to consider.
