Fantilli rockin an eggplant suit?

Watching the segment on the Blackhawks followed by a segment on bedard just has me pissed off more.

did they talk about how chicago overcame the adversity from covering up sexual abuse to blatantly tank and land the #1 pick like everyone knew they would?

 

[TheStuntman]

I hope Bettman and the Chicago brass get booed mercilessly so that we can't hear them.

They did not

 

[AngelDuck]

I do hope Bedard disappoints. I never want to see someone outright bust personally. But I hope he's merely an all star level player

 

[Ginger Papa]

Made an account for the draft. Go Ducks!

I want Fantilli, Carlsson or Michkov in that order. I've watched a lot of Michigan this year, Fantilli is Mike Modano 2.0 and IMO fits this roster best.

I’m a guest here, and enjoy visiting this welcoming group so you’re in good company.

As for HF Boards:

feels good knowing he's going to be playing on some real bad chicago teams for the next few seasons

 

[SouthernCal]

If they reach their max potential I see comparisons like:

Fantilli - Mike Modano/Andrei Svechnikov
Leo Carlsson - Barkov/Joe Thornton without the mean streak
Michkov - Caufield on super steroids.

Spilt my beer, and the pizza dude is late. Not off to a good start. Lol.

 

[Mr Rogers]

hes gonna have to find an extra gear at some point. no matter how skilled or smart he is, it's gonna be a problem if he isn't able to get to places in time. I'm not impressed with MIchkov's speed either.

i was honestly expecting a few more trades before the actual draft, but maybe teams are just waiting to see how the first 4 picks go

I just hope he never wins a cup as long as he's a Blackhawk

 

[Ducks]

The interviews with Madden and Verbeek on the Ducks stream definitely make me think they're picking Fantilli.

 

[DigiDuck]

Saw that too. Guessing he has a good feeling as well.

 

[SouthernCal]

Verbeek mentioned he might look to trade two 2nds to move into first round if there's a player the Ducks like.

Ya if you're talking about trading for a top 10 pick, you better be sure the guy you want is available when that pick comes up.

 

[JabbaJabba]

Still annoyed that out of all teams Chicago got the first. Also sucks that Vegas won the cup. My interest in hockey hasn't been this low in quite some time.

I am probably going to bed soon and find out in the morning who drafted who.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

on the plus side…. There isn’t really a bad pick here.

 

[ohcomeonref]

Or Carter Rowney

I hope he can get in...

Snag Sale in the late firsr

 

[forever1922]

Let's go, gimme that Fanta baby!

It's funny how despite their lack size, one of their best attributes is arguably how strong they are.

Suppose it was the same with Crosby

 

[Ducks]

Kent French just confirmed that Gibson asked for a trade.
