Around the NHL: Part XXIV

Watching this flyers game got me thinking - what ever happened to Nolan Patrick? His his career done?

Looks like chronic migraines at this rate. Incredibly frustrating to deal with this in daily life, let alone hockey. I feel bad for him.

That sucks.

Very possible.

Feel for him, never really got a chance to get going.

Let me just say, anyone who’s never had a migraine (and thank God I haven’t had one in about a decade—though I still get auras occasionally) and thinks the kid should “suck it up and play” can preemptively STFU about this. A migraine is to a headache what clinical depression is to “feeling kinda down.”

 

[TheTimTamSlammerMan]

Imagine they draft anyone else but Patrick.

 

[bl02]

Nick Suzuki is really good. So good thru the neutral zone when he has the puck.

That 2017 draft is going to look very weird when we look back and review it.

I think it's going to be a draft where a lot of top guys had good but not great careers, a lot of the middle guys had the best careers, and a bunch of guys were close, and showed promise, but never quite hit that next level.

I mean even a kid like Vilardi, who has shown flashes of real promise, has never played more than 62 games in the last 5 years, and has only one season where he played more than 49 games.

and we totally blew it lol. Hopefully Chytil becomes at least a 2C then it won't hurt so bad.

Not too sure about that. Hischier, Heiskanen, Makar, Pettersson, Glass, Necas, Suzuki, Brannstrom, etc. All top 15 picks who could have great careers at a minimum.

Hischier looks good, not great. Glass is still a work in progress.

Of course there will be great players, but I’m not seeing a particularly great draft either.

Quinn>Jack Hughes

Quinn>Jack Hughes

Watching Q. Hughes dance around the blue line = GOAT

 

[FIRE DRURY]

As someone who suffered from migraines, I can’t help but feel for the guy. Blacking out your windows so no light gets in. Rotating towels you put over your eyes and forehead in ice water. Tearing uncontrollably. Inability to eat properly because chewing your food is next to impossible. Wanting to sleep but can’t, because the throbbing pain in the back of your forehead is synced up with your heart. Taking as cold a shower as possible and still feeling heat being generated out of your head.

You know when you see someone getting hit in the balls? Whether you like them or not, you feel for them. It’s a pain you don’t wish on even your most hated nemesis. I feel for Nolan. Especially considering the fact that he probably has it much worse than I did.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Quinn is a freaking BEAST. Man....

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Quinn Hughes is an animal, holy crap

I had no doubts the kid would be a good NHLer, I think I had him like 3rd or 4th at worst in that draft. But man, as a rookie he looks like he did in college, but in the NHL

 

[Synergy27]

Farabee is a player you win with. Saw it then, see it now.

I was and am fine with the Kravtsov pick, but boy did/do I love Farabee.

I like Kravtsov and I am fine with the pick, but Farabee would’ve been my choice.

 

[Fugazy]

Quinn Hughes is legit.

2 legit....2 legit to quit

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

everyone i wanted to lose won today...

 

[egelband]

So, wait. Toronto turned into a flaming paper bag full of shit, again?! So we’re getting the Carolina pick and Carolina’s getting the Toronto pick, right?

 

[eco's bones]

I want Carolina out. It has nothing to do with our series (or maybe only a little) but I don't want them dragging our 1st rounder into the final 4 of the first round. I hate the Islanders more but either or with them and Washington. The other team I really want out is Tampa.

Yes
