Jack Edwards? I'd rather drink Drano than listen to him.

Imagine a broadcast with him as PBP, and Tyson Nash as color? Would break records and not in a good way.

And for fun throw in Eddie O in between the benches with PK Subban for intermissions. Lol

Nash is earsplitting. He is living proof that any idiot can get on TV with enough perseverance.

Let me know the percentage of players drafted 26th overall (or lower) go on to play 871 games (and 124 playoff games) in the National Hockey League.

We acquired him at 25-years-old for a 3rd round pick and he gave us 5 very good seasons, considering his role. Our 4th line was dominant in '14 and a major reason we went to the finals.

Maybe we just weren't watching the same player.

Are we seriously having this conversation? If Boyle was anything but a first-round pick he wouldn't have been tagged a first-round bust. You don't draft players in the first round with the hope that they develop into a 4th liner on a bad team. The expectations are considerably higher.

I asked Chatgdp to describe Brian Boyle's NHL career. Here was its response.

Brian Boyle was a failed first round draft pick who went on to survive cancer while playing on the fourth line for the entirety of his career.

Famous quote from Nash and I may be off a little..

“If you want to skill it up, be prepared to get punched in the face”

 

[Synergy27]

TIL that Dahlin is almost a 70 point D-man.

That Buffalo roster is stacked and they still somehow suck.

Sounds like something fledgling AI might say.

A very late (26th) 1st round pick that plays nearly 900 NHL games isn't a "failure". He went to consecutive Cup finals on two different teams.

I never said he was a failure. I said as a first-round pick he was nothing short of a bust. He had a nice career
as 4th line center.

Brian Boyle - is he a bust?

Hey all, I was wondering if someone could give me a scouting report on Brian Boyle. I don't know too much about him, but I know he used to be considered a top prospect for the Kings. I saw that he's had a rough year and is still playing the AHL team - what's the deal? Is he considered a...

Read through that thread and the consensus was that he was a bust. The Kings gave up on him. He came to the Rangers and Torts saved his career. Torts got the very best out of Boyle. Had Torts not gotten out of him what he could (which by the way wasn't first-round draft numbers) Boyle would have been out of the NHL 12 years ago.

That was in response to Zegras embarassing the Yotes shitty D last year. He's such an ass clown.

Yes but the future is bright. They need a solid #1 goalie & a couple of more steady D men. They have a crazy prospect pool.

You obviously have a very different definition of the word bust and insane expectations of "first-round draft numbers" than everybody else.

Go poll 32 NHL GMs and ask them if they'd be over the moon with 900 NHL games from a 26th overall pick.

 

[Synergy27]

Is it just me or have the Panthers been offsides on many zone entries and not called for it?

For the third and final time, Boyle had a nice career in terms of longevity and the role he wound up playing. In terms of his draft position, he was a bust. For example, Vincent Trochek was drafted in the 3rd round pick and has played in 672 games with 435 points. Those are AMAZING numbers for a third-round pick. Most players picked in the third round don't make the NHL. Brian Boyle, first-round pick 871 games and 252 points. Those are disappointing numbers for a first-round pick. Boyle averaged 18 points per season.

What a moron that guy is.

 

[Hire Sather]

Don't know why I put the devil's game on. Just ruined my good mood watching them fly all over the ice. Bing, bing, bing two quick ones. f*** that team

to be fair, those two turnovers leading to those two goals by ottawa were horrendous

You say this so definitively. Do you have any idea what the average games played and points scored stats for players picked in the bottom third of the first round is?

Who cares. I hope they win every one of their games and finish first so we play the Canes. I also don't think if we do face them that home ice is going to matter one bit in the series.

 

[GAGLine]

Matthews has 12 shots on goal through 2 periods.

 

[Holocene]

idk even though unlikely still gotta root for them and the canes to lose as much as possible on the off chance we can pass them both

 

[tlk]

Lol Goat just fumbled a grade A+ to put the Sens ahead

And the debbies score almost right after. Goat is the man jeez.

I do agree with home ice probably not mattering but after being so far behind them, it would really be nice to catch them.

And I want them. I want to knock them out.

I think they are a slightly tougher matchup than the Canes but I think we beat either of them in a series.

DAL has finally given up the division lead they’ve held all year, with the Avs looking primed to jump them as well. Our first rounder could be 21-22 as long as DAL doesn’t make the conf finals.

 

[duhmetreE]

So what matchups are we looking for? Piles vs Boston? Pitt vs Carolina?
