3000 posts already . Quite the hockey afficionado I guess.
For the record Connolly came out of a brutal draft class. The fact you seem so giddy and have such lovers nuts for one kid on a brutal team in a great draft is just strange really. Would Monahan be getting so much prime toi on a decent team ? That is the question for you and you need to think about it.
Anyhow
The long and short of Vandalays post here - It bothers him extremely that the Flames have a great young player in the fold whom seemingly has superstar potential written all over him
Hmm. About to be traded for a goalie? The Oilers certainly looked a little more like we expected them to look (offensively). If the Oilers had a goalie the leaves would have been in trouble there.tantalum wrote:Oiler wonderkid Yakupov a healthy scratch tonight against the leaves.
LOFL you've been the Corner's token Oiler cheerleader for the past two years, raving about the 'new dynasty'!RoyalDude wrote: How does Kevin Lowe still have a job? Fuck he can't even do the tank it draft high well either. It must drive him nuts seeing how successful the avalanche are from tanking it and drafting high
Who would you rather have
O'Reilly
Duschene
Landeskog
McKinnon
Stastny
Eberle
Hall
RNH
Yak
Gagner
Remember you all moaning about OReillys contract. LOL. Fuck you couldn't even straight up trade Kesler for him, he's the heart of that team
Galchenyuk is miles better than Yak. That must hurt the Coilers. He's a premier two way centre in the making
Ummm do you have a split personality?RoyalDude wrote: I would take the Oilers young players over the Avalanches. Taylor Hall is a future Top 5 player along with Nugent Hopkins. Taylor Hall is almost already a superstar. Nugent-Hopkins won't be too far behind, I see those two hitting early stardom the way Toews and Kane did. Landeskog and Dushcene are the next tier down, good players but not in the same league. Also, Eric Johnson is borderline bust and Stastny ain't turning out as expected. O'Reilly is a solid two-way player but not a super highly skilled star in the making.

Far be it from me to knock the kid - I think he's had a great start and does have potential, but superstar potential?? I hope he does become that, but it's way too early to say.RoyalDude wrote:Wasn't it you that made the big stinky stink how much older Monahan is and how that justifies his fantastic play out if the gate?Art Vandelay wrote:He's the real deal is he ?

Great info there boss. You are same guy who said Mackinnon wasn't even a top 5 pick after the WJC and now you are his biggest fan. Same as telling us for the last two years how great the Oilers were going to be and how they had young studs like Klefbom and Teubert to round out the team.RoyalDude wrote:How does Kevin Lowe still have a job?

The Toronto media absolutely love the New Look Oilers always referencing the Gretzky era as a comparable . LMAO. How long are they gonna keep on trying to recreate that? It's blinded them . Love it!
U wonder who would score lower on an IQ test - Taylor Hall, David Booth, Sopel or Steve Bernier?

And now you say "How does Kevin Lowe still have a job?"
At one point Potatoe and I were fruitlessly trying to convince you the Avs future was brighter.
You responded thusly:

You change your mind like yo momma should change her underwear!
BTW we LOLed at the O'Reilly contract because it was a major FEASTER offer-sheet blunder:

But YOU said:
"Love the bold move here by the Flames MGMT and I think this is a very good move by the Flames"
Then in predictable troll fashion you proceeded to compare O'Reilly’s contract to Booth’s, yawn, fart..
