In the past two days I've heard you've refered to yourself as a Bruins fan, a Predators fan, and a Thrashers fan.
You also have friends in Vancouver who drive across one of the biggest countries in the world to see Tim Ramholt play.
its like this.
i'm a bruins fan first and foremost, secondly a thrashers and panthers. then preds.
after those main 4 i cheer for some other songs, but i'm not as huge on them. These include the flyers, nux, kings, blue jackets, yotes and some other teams. I live around hershey so i see all of the flyers games, so i know the flyers very well, and i use to be a pretty big flyers fan until recently. Canucks i follow really closely cause a lot of my close friends are canucks fans, but i don't like them as much as i use to, for no particular reason. Kings i just admire their struggle i just don't follow them much. Blue jackets i follow because of geoff sanderson, marc denis, and rostival klesla. Denis use to play in hershey for 2 seasons, and i'm not really a bears fan...but i liked him always. And coyotes i use to be a huge fan of cause they had sean burke, who was the one goalie who made me fall in love with goaltending more than any other player. So i followed them really closely, but i don't as much before. Now i only really like johnson and mara. I'm a big langkow fan, but i hate the flames so thats a no go.
So i follow a lot of teams....and thats a fairly long explanation of the teams i like.
And my friends saw ramholt play like i dunno maybe once a month or so. Mainly their giants fans. What i get from them is he's talented, but he isn't super incredibly dynamic. You know what i mean? I find it hard to judge dmen, i'll say this, i'm not very good at judging dmen unless i watch them extensively or in just a few games they are incredibly dominant. I follow certain dmen like bouwmeester and pitkanen very closely and i break down their styles cause i see them so much, but in general i'm inconsistent at judging potential of these guys. Usually i'll need to see a guy at least 3 or 4 times before i can get a good read on him. I'm better at judging goaltenders....
