Depends how much I've had to drink.

PC cops are out in full force.

then you piss lying down.

Lol @ Micky. Nazem the busbomber sucks pipe. Not good enough to be a top six guy. He's overpaid as a tweener /third line guy. He's another Mason Raymond , Andrew Cogliano type. For 2.5 million he's ok but he makes far more than that and he has a horrible attitude and a huge ego. Kadri is a bitch. Probably squats to piss.

He is mostly definitely a top 6 guy. Raymond? His stats aren't close to Naz. Naz almost equaled Raymond's career high in point in the 48 game strike shortened season.

He absolutely isn't a top six guy on a good team. Then again you are delusional. You probably agree with him that he's as good as John Tavares.

Why exactly? His stats every year say he is. He bring other intangibles like defense, puck possession, and the ability to to be the #1 draw for penalties called against the opposition. What 3rd liner shuts down McDavid completely and scores 2 goals including embarrassing McDavid in OT for a GWG?
Chicago is a contender, right? Have you seen some of the players on their top 6? What team has a 3rd liner better than Kadri? "Contenders" like Chicago have 12 players making less than a million on their roster. And the 3rd and 4th line guys are so bad. Kadri is in another universe from them.
Mind you, this is from a guy who thought Vancouver finishes higher In the standings than Toronto. Vancouver has 3oth locked-up.

He's a decent third liner on a good team. On a garbage team like Toronto or Vancouver he's a top 6.

Chicago has a Leaf castaway in Richard Panik on the 1st line. Kadri would not only be in the top 6, he would be on the 1st line on that team.
You seem to think "Contenders" all have amazing depth. Please name these bottom 6 players as good or better than Kadri.
LA, Dallas, Florida, St-Louis, all "Contenders" with lousy depth where Kadri could play in the top 6 or even on the 1st line.

[Blob Mckenzie]

No he couldn't.

C,mon, Blob, give m a break: I said; "Kadri is actually starting to look like something now"

[BigTuna]

No he couldn't.

So he's not as good as Richard Panik...the same Panik who would not crack the top 6 of the 30th placed team last season. (And Kadri was).

smells like Tuna - you know your boy is gonna get wasted right?...tell me this.

Here's what will happen: The media will hype the game up. Vancouver fans will talk non-stop because it's the only thing to look forward to. In the end, very little if anything will occur. Both teams will be warned heavily prior to the game.

[Cousin Strawberry]

Pretty well this^. Martin and Gudbranson will have a shirt tugging competition and maybe Kardi absorbs a handful of late hits. The reality is vancouver has no tough players and unless they make a trade for someone outside of the organization theyre going to bend over and chew pillow as usual.

Team is at it lowest as it's ever been, team wants the coach fired regardless.. so I foresee nothing changed unfortunately.

The coach should not be fired.
