Ah shit I just realized Bolland will be parading around with the cup... As a leaf.,.. In toronto

Close enough, Leafs nation!

 

[KingHenrik30]

Coming up on 7 and we aren't out of round 2 yet...

 

[Red_Man]

Hopefully Justin Bailey is on the board when the Habs pick at 55

Regret will sink in shortly, on behalf of the NHL scheduling squad.

All 7 in one night? What a great idea!!

 

[Solo]

I'm only sticking around til the end of the second round. Not wasting time watching the rest.

 

[Coldnoodle]

:lol

 

[Marvie_3]

genius move by Shero, he's done it again!

GM of the year!

Hopefully Justin Bailey is on the board when the Habs pick at 55

Why would the Habs draft a Metroid password?

 

[KingHenrik30]

I mean, couldn't this have started at 1?

 

[Kifimbo]

All part of the plan, apparently:

Gillis: "Our plan 3 yrs ago was develop Cory and move him for a high pick and that's what we did."

 

[Cake Boss]

Fuck yall this is like E3 for me, I am watching the whole thing.

 

[Red_Man]

MT @THNKenCampbell: Gillis: "Our plan 3 yrs ago was develop Cory and move him for a high pick and that's what we did."

:lol :lol :lol Gillis is so full of shit, it's incredible. If he survives the day with this job, it'll be a crime.

 

[bishoptl]

"We traded Schneider. Turn on your TV."

[SpectreFire]

Lu never spoke out against the team. You're acting like he was running around demanding a trade and being a problem. The organization made it clear they didn't want him anymore and he had accepted that and never spoke a bad word about them. But now he's getting thrust back into it because he was lied to. Gillis hasn't even talked to him yet.

This is the org'a fuck up, not Lu's. So yeah I think it's funny that Canucks fans are taking out their anger on him saying that he should just shut up and play.

No, and I never said as much. The organization absolutely fucked up on this, but at the end of the day, after the NHL lock-out, it's hard to feel sympathy for anyone who makes tens of millions playing a sport they love. Should his feelings be hurt? Absolutely, but he's still one of the 0.01% in the world living an incredible dream. Hard to feel sorry for that.

 

[Marvie_3]

All part of the plan, apparently:

They had at least 5 offers for him too!

 

[calder]

Wild found the first fugly Swedish player.


If this old man dies at the podium his blood is on Bettman's hands.

 

[KingHenrik30]

What a great wop name Tommy Vannelli

 

[lamaroo]

Hopefully Justin Bailey is on the board when the Habs pick at 55

Had a concussion earlier this year. His name, along with Nastasiuk keep coming ip on hfboards. Don't really know anything about them personally.

Everytime I mention someone they get drafted.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

@GeorgeRichards: #FlaPanthers Dale Tallon says Barkov told him he has done all he can in Finland, wants to play in NHL next year. Tallon made decision Sat

Bueno Tallon. Right choice.

Bwahahahahaha oh man.

What does that have to do with anything?

What a great wop name Tommy Vannelli

Sounds like a guy who breaks legs for loan sharks when people don't pay up in time.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

What a great wop name Tommy Vannelli

Wasn't he in Vice City.

 

[Acid08]

Bueno Tallon. Right choice.

It's what you wanted all along :lol

 

[SpectreFire]

I'm saying that I'm not taking my anger out on Luongo.

I just don't feel that terribly sorry for him.

 

[Red_Man]

Risky high-skilled forward with a lot of upside, but has a chance to be a bust, but at 55 I don't mind that kind of pick. Subban might be there too.

 

[Acid08]

Idk who this guy is but okay. He has great hair.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

It's what you wanted all along :lol

MacKinnon was the dude, but Tallon said he spoke with Avs on Fri and Sat. Likely price too high and went Barkov over Jones after meeting with him.

 

[Red_Man]

I'm saying that I'm not taking my anger out on Luongo.

I just don't feel that terribly sorry for him.

:lol really? Because he makes an athletes wage? Common man, don't be this blind. He could have fucked the Canucks hard but has been amazing through this whole experience Gillis mind fucked him upside down.

:lol :lol :lol Gillis is so full of shit, it's incredible. If he survives the day with this job, it'll be a crime.

And just like all of Gillis's plans, only he knows about them. And spends about five minutes thinking them through.

 

[lamaroo]

I'm not sold on Jordan Subban, saw him a couple times and he never stood out like PK. At 55 you can't be too picky though.

 

[Montresor]

Holy,shit,Bolland. =D

 

[SuperSonic1305]

A Stanley Cup winning forward from the Black Cocks? What could possibly go wrong? Does he chew his mouthguard?

 

[Curufinwe]

I never thought Hagg would last all the way to 41.

Apparently Edmonton is trying to get Coburn, but their best picks are all gone now.

 

[Red_Man]

I'm not sold on Jordan Subban, saw him a couple times and he never stood out like PK. At 55 you can't be too picky though.

Timmins hits a lot of his home runs in these rounds, whoever he picks I'm A-OK with.

 

[Acid08]

Saying that he should just "shut up and play" sure sounds kind of like blind anger to me.

 

[SpectreFire]

:lol really? Because he makes an athletes wage? Common man, don't be this blind. He could have fucked the Canucks hard but has been amazing through this whole experience Gillis mind fucked him upside down.

At the end of the day, he's still a top tier NHL player making millions doing what he loves. It's hard to feel sorry for that.

Saying that he should just "shut up and play" sure sounds kind of like blind anger to me.

It's not blind anger, it's just saying it as it is. The NHL is a business, Luongo is a business asset. At the end of the day, assets don't represent feelings or opinions to GMs and owners. Ask Setoguchi, Richards, Carter, Lecavlier, Bryzgalov, etc etc.

 

[Red_Man]

There goes Bailey

At the end of the day, he's still a top tier NHL player making millions doing what he loves. It's hard to feel sorry for that.

How long you plan on wearing those homer goggles for?

 

[Fei]

Nice! Bailey.

 

[lamaroo]

There goes Bailey, mini Subban incoming.

 

[HadesGigas]

Sabres picking a hometown boy. Hopefully Regier doesn't chase him out of town like last time (Tim Kennedy).

 

[bonesmccoy]

I guess Bozak is gone for sure.

Grabovski, Kadri, Bolland, McClement and Colborne our 5 C's going into the season?

edit: Gauthier is a big fellow - 6'5, and 210 lbs at age 18.

 

[Marvie_3]

Holy,shit,Bolland. =D

If he can stay healthy, it's a good pick up for you guys.


It's weird seeing draft a defenseman that isn't undersized.

 

[calder]

Dammit I wanted Bowey to fall to the Jets.

 

[SpectreFire]

There goes Bailey

How long you plan on wearing those homer goggles for?

And how long are you going to stand up for players after they bent over thousands of people whose livelihoods depended on them during the lockout?

The lockout killed any sympathy I had for either sides in terms of money and livelihoods.

 

[Quick]

All part of the plan, apparently:

 

[Red_Man]

Carrier now?

 

[bishoptl]

I'm just gonna sit here in my underwear and watch Dredd

in the basement

You're trying so hard to turn this conversation away from the trade :lol
