Prospect Info: Jonas Brodin (Part III)

[FVM]

"So we're going to get one of our two guys?"

I'd love to figure out who option #2 was after Brodin.

I think it was Hamilton. When the Bruins choose him the Wild staff immediately open their folders and look to cross him over, which would imply he was on their list. If it really was him, not bad two guys targeted for Flahr & Co. Just gives me even more faith in our drafting under this regime.

they do that for every player. like when you're drafting for fantasy football and you scrub names off list and add them to the other teams.

one would think they would have made those comments after it was a lock that they would get one of their two guys, which would be after whoever picked before Boston, as at that point it would have been impossible to miss getting one of them.

i do know Hamiliton wasn't it .

Oh man, I got chills re-watching this!

My heart-shaped, rose colored glasses came back after watching that episode again

Well, that could be. It just seemed significant, those gestures and expressions when Hamilton was picked but it's so easy to overanalyze there things.

Konopka on Brodin

I think that Jonas Brodin should get some serious consideration for the Calder trophy (rookie of the year), side note- I may adopt the kid

[rynryn]

wonder if Brodin is worthy enough to hold Hoppy yet

 

[Fel 96]

Zenon is the ****ing man.

I wish he could stay here for the rest of his career.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

Go crazy folks.

Sigh...

Another Wild vs. Devils fans war upcoming.

 

[rynryn]

i resisted the urge to poke fun at the Jersey people.

 

[Fel 96]

Oh and inb4 Larsson AINEC.

I'm guessing those people have never seen Brodin play.

Well hopefully we're not immature enough to turn it into that. I bet some NJ fan takes a cheap shot at our team and that's how chaos will ensue. Don't think there's any cheap shot that can be taken at either of the players in the poll except maybe Brodin's broken collarbone.

 

[Dampland]

I think Flahr told him that.



Start at 8:00, you get to hear Fletcher with the gem "This is why you don't trade up."

Thanks for posting. That was awesome to watch again!

(and this time I can watch it, and I realize that Flahr knew what he was talking about!)

 

[Dampland]

amazing how butthurt some many fans STILL are about the Parise and Suter signings. Holy crap people, get over it.

Are you venturing into the Nashville and NJ team boards or something? I don't see anything on the main boards.

oh man YOU started this poll? WTF? Why would you intentionally give folks the opening to rip on Minnesota?

We need to tame down the Brodin is the best talk before it blows up in our faces.

What's so wrong about a poll between two 2011 Swedish draft picks? The poll is about the players, not the organizations. If someone is immature enough to make it about the organizations then that's their problem, not mine. And I am certainly not advocating any kind of "Brodin is the best" talk.

 

[OpRedDawn*]

the funniest part of the that episode

"he ****ing skates that way, but faster than most"

loved that

He did the same thing on the main board opening up the door for anyone and everyone to rip the Wild for their lack of goal scoring. Asking for opinions from people who don't watch the Wild unless their own team is playing them. Will go well. Will happen again.

 

[rynryn]

I'd have to watch more Jersey games before i complained Brodin was getting short-changed.

 

[W75]

If Brodin was a car I think he would be a Volvo.
He ain't Turbo Saab, but reliable, a bit luxorius, capacious, efficient, versatile, safe, Volvo.

Only.. what model he would be?

...240, some wagon, T5R, 4WD Cross Country, P1800 `The Saint`, Amazon...?

So making a poll that happens to involve a Wild player is me trying to get people to rip on the Wild right? Hah, you guys make me laugh. It's about one Wild player and has nothing to do with the team or organization as a whole. If you guys are that scared that people will rip on us even for a thread like that then you shouldn't be on HF.

Says the guy whos name is WILDhockeyfan, but refused to believe the Wild was going to get better in the off-season, and then proceed to threaten to take your Wild 'fandom' over to the Flyers.... Yea. okay. Do what you want.

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

Just saying...Larssen was healthy scratched for two games...he can't be playing better than Brodin.

And Granlund was scratched for one game. It's all about relativity. Larsson is still a very young defenseman.
