Minor League Thread 2017-18: Part VIII

Romario or Ronaldo at the time? PSV was always a gateway for brazilians to enter the big leagues in Europe.
I always liked netherlands football btw. One of my first sport memory was the semifinal between holland and brazil in the 98 world cup, one of the finest games I have ever seen in my life.

Nah not on Romario/Ronaldo level but a gun player nonetheless. Like Amazing Kreiderman said.... not the fastest, not the strongest, not the most athletic but he had a football brain. I hated the son of a bitch. Respected him but hated him.

Dutch football in the 90s was very good. I freferred watching Dutch League to EPL to be honest. I'll never forget that 1 season when Ajax owned Europe. Undefeated season at home and then walked through the comp in Champions League.

Been really busy lately and not had time to check in on the Packs. How is the Shark doing?

Scored again last night. 9 points in 11 games

It is so refreshing to have a couple of young players doing so well again. It’s been too long. Honestly, probably since Anisimov. Kreider, Miller, Fast, Lindbergh all were good st the AHL level but none of them were on the same level as these two in terms of points at this age.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Well i can tell you that Litmanen sucked and PSV was the way of life back in the 90s.

Oh my God. Will you shut up about PSV

I feel like now you're taking the opposite approach and holding Chytil's flash against him.

Well, I think the needs to improve defensively and on face offs. The offense is there but that alone won't be enough to make it in the NHL. Lias has a completely different skill set which, in my opinion, translates more easily to the NHL.

Peak Ronaldo was the best footballer ever. If he didn't get injured, he might've reached Messi status.

I don't know I always thought the best player at his peak was Ronaldinho Gaúcho, those two years in Barcelona he was basically out of this world. Pity that he enjoyed partying too much. He still enjoys, actually.

I spent a lot of 1989-1991 in NYC and partied with a very good Brazilian soccer player on many occasion. The ladies. OMG...

Yeah, you understand what I'm talking about hahahaha.
Nowadays it's probably heavier than at your time. Ronaldinho is famous for throwing parties that last more than 48 hours.

Former Flames pick, looks like a generic tough guy, was able to post some points in the ECHL where he likely belongs but never in the AHL (where he probably won't be for long).

Leach and graves.. it’s 94 all over again in Hartford

TRADE: Eric Selleck has been traded to the Belleville Senators, in exchange for future considerations. In addition, Hartford call up Dan DeSalvo from Tulsa of the ECHL. #HWP #NYR

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Good news, Selleck is a useless AHL player.

Might be to open a spot for an agreed upon trade. No other possible reason to make this trade unless Selleck asked or had a bad, but secret fight with someone yesterday.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Was this purely an AHL trade? How does future considerations even work in this scenario?

ISWYDT

ISWYDT

So confusing. I would have said ISWYDH instead.

 

[Irishguy42]

They blew a tie late in the third, but tied it back up, and then blew that and are going to lose 4-2.

Ranger hockey

 

[nyr2k2]

It will be really tough for Hartford to make it, especially if guys like Pionk, Gilmour and Lettieri are with the Rangers. They're 6 points and significant point percentage back of Charlotte, who they'd have to pass. They're also technically behind Bridgeport on point percentage.
