Little high on Tavares don't you think?
"Strong in net and on defense and lead up front by Tavares."
Pretty high praise for a guy who probably will see less ice time than anyone on the team. Looks like you have bought into the hype.
Funny, when I think of who they are led up front by, he is one of the last guys that come to mind.
Let's give guys like Giroux, Turris, Marchand, Sutter etc. their due. It is guys like this that will need to lead Canada up front, not Tavares. He is the 13th forward and will probably see some time on the PP but I mean, come on. You pick the 13th forward on a depth chart of 13 to lead the charge?

Copas- Even if Tavares were eligible, which he won't be, the consensus seems to be that he wouldn't go 1st overall. If it were me, I'd be inclined to take him, I think he is going to be a good one. No, Philly's- have a good New Year.

No, he won't be draft eligible but I fail to see what Ovechkin has to do with it in any way.

Fair enough Puckdat- I am just saying, the kid is the 13th forward. He didn't stick out to me in the Super Series either. Perhaps he does step up, perhaps an injury happens. I am just saying, there are better leaders on this team who they need to rely on and there are better players at this point. Watch Turris, Stamkos and Giroux to be dominate. REALLY like Turris' game.

Don't get me wrong, he is a great young player and will get his points but I don't expect him to be the go-to guy.

LMAO Zam. The Flyers have NO CHANCE at the cup and the Wings are going to win it all. Sorry in advance. I was just thinking the exact same thing. Probably set a tourney record for goals after my not so kind words.

Bob, could you say something bad about Zetterberg and his back for me.
And if you wouldn't mind saying that the Wings have zero chance to win the cup this year while you are at it I would really appreciate it.

I also didn't have the list of players handy to list them all off. Stamkos, Turris etc could have been listed as well if I had them at hand.
I'll let the kid defend me on this. He has something to prove and now is the time. Maybe I'm a little high on him but, hey I do get to the odd Generals game since I live so close and have seen him play. It's not all hype.
The puck's about to drop. Let's see how he does before you roast my chestnuts over the open fire.
Well, considering he had spot duty and that he's the youngest player on the team, not too damned bad. 2 goals on what 5 shifts?

Tavares won't be eligible for the draft, especially not after the Panthers and Ovechkin incident a few years back.

Too bad theres no coverage about the USA Juniors team down here in the states. Can someone marry me so I can move to Canada and become a citizen? OMG, I cant believe I am saying that. Not the marriage thing, the leaving the USA thing. My how things have taken a downturn down below our fellow friends to the north!
Anyone got info on how the USA Juniors team is supposed to do? Cant find anything worth reading about down here that gives me useful insight.

Bob, the super stinky Haley jinx perhaps is rubbing off on you. I had to eat my words after a question I asked yesterday.

I was really shocked by Stamkos. I am not going to get too cocky, because I don't want the poor kid to get stuck by lightning, kidnapped, attacked by a tiger, or something.
