I like him BUT I'm ready to deal with him. No offense but Buffalo have nothing interesting except from Conacher and their 1st round pick this year.

I think the Sabres have the best farm system right now, since TB has everyone graduating.

Yeah, Buffalo is pretty damn loaded in some areas.

While not having an overall top prospect pool, the Wings have one of the best groups of defensive prospects in the league at the moment down in GR - especially considering none of our guys are top level picks

Xavier Ouellet - QMJHL first team all star two years in a row 2011/12 - 2012/13
Ryan Sproul - CHL defensemen of the year 2012/13, AHL all rookie team 2013/14 (Higher ceiling than any player that is in the Wings organization outside of Mantha...Weber-esque potential, though reaching that is unlikely)
Alexey Marchenko - spent good a good few years playing in the KHL, two great playoff runs for him that he contributed 29 points in 36 games total
Mattias Backman - played in the SEL, good two way player, contributed to the 2012 Sweden WJC gold medal with 3 assists in 6 games
Nick Jensen - probably the best defenseman prospect purely in terms of skating ability - First-Team All-American 2012–13 (Danny DeKeyser was only second team!)

and then we've got Mantha, Athanasiou, Pulkkinen, and Mrazek?

It isn't a top 3-5 pool, but the future is looking pretty bright especially if we can land a top six center prospect

I just worry about you guys with forwards, Tatar and Nyquist is awesome but I think that's it for yu guys? Can't see Franzen, Datsyuk, Zetterberg lasting more than 2 seasons..especially Franzen

 

[Mort Divine]

I'm only really worried about our lack of good center prospects. Sheahan has been good, but outside of him we have Janmark who is iirc a converted winger playing in NA for the first time this year.

As far as other forwards go we have Mantha who might be the best potential goal scoring forward prospect any team in the league has, Athanasiou is a speed demon who should be a 2nd / 3rd tweener with a scoring touch, Pulkkinen is a potential top six player as well and before an injury his draft year he was a projected first rounder

we are in some trouble though without a top six center prospect tho

Lol every team that was leading their series is letting it slip away. Habs, Hawks, Kings, and Pens all pissing away leads. Almost every series has been close.

 

[End of Glory]

Prob not the right thread for this but fuck it.. SUCK IT SALAK YOU CRYIN' BITCH! Go Sweden!

 

[End of Glory]

WOW! That's the spirit Rangers!!!

 

[Kara-Shehr]

If the Rangers win game 7 it's completely deserved on their part. There's no excuse whatsoever for even letting this series go this far. They needed to put the Rangers away tonight and failed miserably.

^ I laughed so much at that, god damn he fucking deserved it, such a whiny cunt when he can't do shit lol

 

[End of Glory]

If I ever meet Lundqvist I'm seriously gonna give him a medal for that...

 

[Kara-Shehr]

I'm just hoping that if all this does result in a choke (which it probably will) that it's the straw that breaks the camel's back for Pen's management and ownership. Start making big changes.

 

[rms]

The water bottle usage is unreal this playoffs!

 

[muzmaze]

lol.

A Lundqvist drive-by...he was so nonchalant lol.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Man, this 2nd round is going to be full of Game 7's!

 

[Kara-Shehr]

Yeah holy shit habs.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Really need to remember to watch these games

 

[End of Glory]

I'm seriously nervous for tonight's game.. Come on Rangers! Lundqvist Kreider, Brassard, St. Louis and John Moore, show them what you got. Make me proud!
