  2. I own a pizza bar one town over from Quinnipiac University and have a lot of QU students that frequent here and work here as well. Two of my bartenders knew Ty personally. One managed the campus watering hole and the other was an Ice Cat. Both took classes with him. Common thread from both of them was that he was arrogant, cocky and full of himself. He was THE star of that team two years ago and chose to go to Wisconsin last year. Lo and behold QU wins the national championship. That might have hurt his ego too. Not saying any of this is related but thought is was interesting to have some insight from people who had classes and hung out with him.
  3. Not a scout but I will say this about Florian just like I said for Arber. Don’t underestimate the grit, determination and compete level of the lower class immigrant child.
  4. I suspect someone called his father to the scene between the time of the incident and his altercation with authorities.
  5. With them retaining 50% I expected a better return.
  6. Your favorite line! You should get it tattooed. (and yes I agree)
  7. Looks like Arber was eating little bro’s food growing up.
  8. seriously. falling asleep here. and I’m in the damn arena.
  9. Habs fans here in Nashville are NOT happy
  10. Lots of chatter here about Michkov’s contract being bought out and him coming over sooner. take it with a grain of salt.
  11. Well.. My kids are Twitter famous! https://twitter.com/CanadiensMTL/status/1674172105917620228?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^embeddedtimeline|twterm^screen-name%2Fslug%3Ahabsworld_net%2Fsources|twcon^s1
  12. Oh I’m totally with you. But if the ducks go off the beaten path I expect a lot of attempts from others to move up. If he can get quality assets and secure Leonard I totally cool with that.
  13. I’ll be there! Come on Kent, give us some fireworks!!
  14. Love it! Kent is all business. And he might not be done.
  15. I’m just a guy who owns a pizza shop!!
  16. Well since you wanted an update.. I sat next to David Abrutyn on the flight from Weschester NY to Nashville. Here’s a bit about him:https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2017/04/26/People-and-Pop-Culture/David-Abrutyn.aspx He saw my 10yr reading The Hockey News Draft edition magazine and talking to him for a bit he pulled out an autographed photo of Ovechkin and handed one to each of my boys. After talking draft for a bit he mentioned the following: He’s not 100% convinced Anaheim takes Fantilli at #2. He insisted Verbeek likes to think outside of the box and that he believes Michkov is the second most talented player out there. If Michkov doesn’t go at 2, he expects him to be available at 5. My kid told him he wanted MTL to take Smith. He told him he doesn’t believe Smith will be there at there at 5. He also mentioned that he expects Washington to make a strong push to move up to 5 if Michkov is still on the board. When I asked him what he thought it would take he said it would be expensive but didn’t divulge anything more.
  17. Let’s hope so. Just landed in Nashville!!
  18. Booked my flight to Nashville. Draft (and awards ceremony) here we come!! My two boys gonna lose it when I wake them up at the crack of dawn on Monday to surprise them.
  19. As much fun as it is talking about PLD I would not trade anything of premium value for him. 8yrs at 8+ mil is enough of a risk in itself let alone forking over assets. The initial allure was on the basis that he had a semi tarnished reputation, an hard on for wearing la sainte flanelle and that Winnipeg had no leverage. Let Bergevin and Robitaille have him.
