One has to think that Yandle and Shattenkirk should have a solid hold on the offensive defender portion.
It's a possibility, but I just don't see it.
Playoff Krejci is better IMO. (The points he has put up in the playoffs under CLAUDE. So yeah.)
Edit: Yes I am not kidding.
Should've buried Crosby with 2-3 seconds left and just eaten the 2 minute penalty.

That was me, I'm his mum, so you're obviously my grandchild!
Edit: Ah, read the rest of your discussion. I guess we're not related, but you should've referred to him as Cindy's mummy in the first post. Nice burn on the Nova Scotia part, though!
I think it may have had to do with how a lot of people saw good things from Loui with the eye test, but a lot of people (including you if I'm not completely mistaken) did not, and a few of those people used stats (even stats compared to Seguin's production in Dallas, which is even more irrelevant) as a reason for why Loui obviously sucks and we should be happy we got Smith because otherwise it would've been the worst trade ever.

Shattenkirk, Suter, McDonaugh, Leddy, Yandle, Fowler, E. Johnson, Bogasian, Orpik are probably ahead of him. But based just on this season he's in the 5-7 range
Would be cool if he could make it (though i wish olympics were under 21 personally)
Who would care ? The world juniors are held every year anyway, nothing special.

But, I'm the ass...
In any case, if the Olympics were to be a "world under 21" tournament, then not many would care.
If you could please put me on your ignore list, that would be great.
love him. So, there's no need to actually hold the vote for 7th player, right? Just give Krug his Kia Sorrento now.

No thanks, I like having a little comedy mixed in with my hockey. It so makes me feel better about myself when I read your posts. Kind of like the HF version of Cops.
If you put ME on ignore, you won't have to read my responses to your intellectually-challenged posts, so there is that.

Carl Soderberg and Reilly Smith both say hello and mention how much they would like a Kia Sorrento
1) B's fans saw what Krug was capable of in the PO's last year, so while it is a surprise to many that he has been able to maintain that level of play, we knew he was talented enough.
2) Soderberg has been a revelation. Based on what he showed last year when he came over, I can't imagine that anyone thought he would be this good, this quickly.
3) Smith, too most, was one of the "throw ins" with Loui in the Segs deal. Even worse, there were a lot of people at the time of the trade that had him listed as third amongst the prospects. He has shown that he can play Top 9 on a good team in the NHL and some now think he was the best player we got (I'm not one of those).
Any of those three would be worthy winners right now, but lots of hockey left. If I was biting today, I would probably go with Smith.

Reg, I can honestly say that even after all this time, I still don't understand it, and hope I never do.

Carl is a European, giving him a Kia might be an insult?
Torey is on a huge signing bonus.
Smitty gets the car.

I would make it 23 that way it would include some young NHL guys and AHL/college players.
I doubt Krug makes it-he is still IMO too green although if stays at this pace and stays near the top of the defensive leader board he may make them find a place or he becomes one of the last few cuts. I would love to see him play on the larger ice though.

I totally agree with you on Soderberg. I could see glimpses of his talent last year (in admittedly limited opportunities), but he is playing at a much different level this year. Been really impressed with the way his game has improved and how quickly he's adjusted to the NHL game.
I'm not sure any of the three will win the Kia, since so many fans seem to think it's a vote for your favorite player, rather than for the one exceeding expectations. I am just going to enjoy the fact that we have multiple players we can realistically talk about as contenders for the coveted Kia. I'm going to enjoy it.
Byslma has already been quoted as saying that they are watching him very closely and he is high on their list.
Not sure Leddy, Fowler, EJ or Bogo are locks. J Johnson and J Carlson will be in the mix too, lots of talent there and Krug still has to be considered a long shot, but nice to hear his name mentioned.
