I'm not talking about you, I meant the posters in general...he goes rather unnoticed imo.Kevin Forbes said:

The defense has been shaky, Mckee isn't having the season he had last year and they lack finishers (Moulson accepted.) Last weekend was intuiging (two wins over Niagara) because they got a huge contribution from the freshman (4 goals and nice play on the blueline from seminoff), and prior to last weekend they where getting nothing from the freshman. Hopefully this meens that the newbies are starting to click and that they can help the top line carry the scoring load.
I'll have more to report after this weekend's game's at Lynah (Fri: Pinceton, Sat. Quinnipiac.) The Saterday game is being broadcast on NESN at 6, if you get that.

Even though I've been reading them for like 5 or 6 years now (or however long it's been), they're still funny to me.Mallard said:
HF should come up with a mock-jersey t-shirt with the name Dustin Rose on it for sell on the mechandise website.

Just for the Pens, because I don't know/care enough to find other teams' gems.
Nick Johnson - The kid's got skill. Period. How is he overlooked so often?
Matt Moulson - Consistent scorer for the Big Red. Good size and no real drawback to his game.
Tyler Kennedy - I've never seen him play, but he's got more assists than any of his teammates have points. Anyone who watches him like to comment?
Jordan Morrison - Outscoring Kennedy, but playing with much more productive linemates. Needs to bulk up from his 165, especially since he's 6'0. Again, haven't seen him play. Anyone?

yeah i fiqured, but I know directtv has a package for all the SN networks, I thought there might be an off chance...
You could probably find a sports bar that carries it.
Marek Svatos this guy is amazing has great moves with the puck, i was watching the game vs EDM and he had some moves that would make people go how did he do that. Marek Svatos is 3rd in the rookie race 1 point behind Ovechkin (Mr. Ego), and 4 points behind Sid the kid. Hardly anyone talks about this guy, HF doesnt even put him as a top 50 prospect!

Pretty much every Blues' prospect is underrated here...
I've said this before, and I'll say it again: if Ottawa or Edmonton or Montreal or Jersey or San Jose or Detroit had five goaltending prospects playing like Bacashihua, Beckford-Tseu, Barulin, Bishop and Schwarz, the hype here would be positively enormous.
But they're all Blues' prospects, so nary a peep about 'em.
Schwarz was a sure-fire Top Ten pick, a franchise goalie, a "can't-miss" guy... until the Blues drafted him. Then, all of a sudden, it was all about finding every little nit-picky thing wrong with his game.
Now, I'll grant that he didn't do much in the WHL to improve his standing... but all objective reports that I heard suggest that he was much improved at the end of his one season in Vancouver, compared to what he looked like at the start of the year. And there's no denying that he's playing very, very well now against veterans in a pretty darn good European elite league.

I hear this about several teams. Not saying you're wrong, but the argument gets old the more its used.
Re: Schwarz... I'll admit, I never head he was a "can't miss" guy. Franchise? Yes. Possible Top 10 pick? Sure. Can't miss? Nope. It is my understanding that he was one of the most volatile players taken in the draft. (This coming from someone who loves Czech hockey)

Blind Gardien
nexus of the crisis
You'll notice that they've moved to the History Channel, though. And that Rose would seem to be around 80 years old now.Mallard said:

Having Dustin Rose on your team is like playing video games with Game Genie.
I've seen Kennedy play. Plays with intensity and grit. Great Playmaker, but needs some linemates to be there for him. averaging a point a game, very unselfish player. Can skate like I've never seen before.

The kid is amazing, a steal at #18 overall. I believe he was the leading goal scorer last season in the WHL. He had 143 points in 87 regular season/playoff games in 04-05. Turned 20 back in September, should be with the Caps late this season or starting next at the latest.
His stats:

GP G A PT
2000-01 Brandon Wheat Kings WHL 4 0 0 0

Nicklas Bergfors is the only one playing AHL-hockey of the draft in 2005. He is the youngest player in the league.
Im being a bit of a homer here though...

Anyone for Jonas Nordqvist?
Granted that I've never seen the guy play outside of a WJ a couple years back (and even then I dont remember much). But his stats have steadily improved, over the past 3 seasons in the SEL, and is now scoring at a ppg pace (26gp 13g 24p). Perhaps someone from Sweden could provide some more detailed information, but it appears to me from reading box scores and what little info I can find, that Lulea's fortunes have turned around since he was moved to the top line with Mikael Renberg.
