Not always easy being a Russian athlete as you don't want a family member accidentally falling from a 4th floor balcony for saying the wrong thing.
Gretzky could have said something as free speech is allowed here. His silence was disappointing.
One player I find intriguing is Cameron Schmidt. High end offensive player but small so will likely drop. Could be another Cole Caulfield? Or do we need another one? Perhaps Commandant has some thoughts on him. Thanks
Also if we packaged our 2 picks together (likely both in the 14-18 range), how high could we move up? It's all about quality now.
Watched the end of the Ranger game, too bad. The Habs just have to take care of business, can't take the Bruins lightly. It would be a shame to win back to back games against the defensing cup champions and then come up flat against the Bruins.
It definitely shows development, scoring 20 goals in the AHL against men is far more impressive than scoring 34 in junior where you were one of the oldest guys.
The Flames are 8 points clear of the bottom 10 and 6 points out of a playoff spot with 8 games to go. Almost perfect. Now if they could go something like 2-6 in their last 8 games they could slide a bit but I expect they will continue fighting like they have all year. I expect that pick will be 15 or 16 unless they win the lottery (about a 1.1% chance). Habs pick if they get the last playoff spot and lose in the 1st 2 rounds will be 17. Could be back to back picks.
Two massive wins against a team that is really tough to play against.
Not a tough schedule left but NO time to relax.
