After last years performance I couldn't show my face here I also started playing EHM again and I needed to reread some tactics forums and I decided to show some Sens love, cause it was clearly missing.

You were the only one posting about them here, as a fan.

[batdad]

That is because Ottawa has no fans. Although I bet they are Canada's team now. OR at least Ron Maclean and Don Cherry will tell you that.

[philou21]

People go see Ottawa just to stare at Maclean's mustache.

So Edmonton stole Columbus's first pick. They are so lucky! I'm wondering if they will pick Yakupov though......I know the kid is classed first but the Oilers have enough young foward prospects like this, they should go for a D-man. The only problem is that there is only that guy called Murray that is a D-man who is in the top five....Seems the Oilers gonna pick Yakupov after all, god watch out the salary caps problem in a couple of years there.

Matthew Dumba? I'm pretty sure he is projected to go second overall

[batdad]

Dumba, Reinhart, Reilly all stud WHL Dmen. But you take the best player available or make a trade to get a top level dman. Oilers know how to draft the top player available. Remember the 80s? So...they will either move the pick for a stud dman and lower pick where they take one of the above 3...or another stud dman. Or...they will take whoever they determine is the best player available. If it is Yakupov .... they take him.

Dumba ranking has dropped off. He won't go 2nd overall.

Jaromir Jagr said he likes to play next season.

"I want to play because I love the game and I believe no matter how old you are you still can learn as long as you love the game and as long as you are willing to work hard"

Maybe he can learn to play goal for the Flyers...

Ooh. Ouch. Bryz is good. Sometimes. He will be better next year if healthy. Too
many guys have bad 1st big money contract years for me to see he won't get back to being good. That being said he is an oddball.
