An hour after getting drafted we ruin the mood by having our crack reporters interview him

POWER, not Powers. Get it right now people. Don't annoy posters for years because you can't recognize a name.

Every WGR caller is absolutely going to call him "Powers." Most of them will preface it with, "this new guy...you know, the big kid"

 

[JThorne]

Good thing you couldn't pay me to listen to wgr outside of a Sabres broadcast.

Can NCAA players get the 10 game look or does that make them lose their amateur status?

Can Pegula toss him a NIL contract if he stays in college?

Paul using his question to ask him for the inside scoop on Eric Portillo was downright disrespectful. Clown school

Once he signs he's done with NCAA so would either go to Rochester or to junior if not ready

 

[EichHart]

Such a good name for the back of a jersey.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Really not a fan of the pick, but he's not a terrible 1st overall. I just think he's the 4th best player in the draft at the top.

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

If he doesn't wear 69 I'll be disappointed

Will his nickname be Max Power or Kenny Powers.

Such a good name for the back of a jersey.

He is no Stankoven

Why do people keep calling him Power its POWERS he has multiple of them thats why he went 1st overall.

The Reinhardt curse

The Reinhardt curse

It's Wolley/Wooley/Woolley all over again.

Be careful about calling him a clown lest Bozo sues you for defamation.

 

[goach]

Likely not going to end up being the cream of the crop! But a good safe solid pick! But that's what you get, when you get 1st in a covid year! Let's hope for the best.

I blame Cody "Eakins" Eakin for it

I blame him for everything.

I’m ready to get excited about him. I was high on Eklund and hoping we’d trade up as he fell but I think Power was strong enough at the world championship as an 18 year old for me to be pumped about him. Defence seems sorted for the future, now the rest of the team needs sorting

 

[KiwiGriff]

POWER, not Powers. Get it right now people. Don't annoy posters for years because you can't recognize a name.

But Powers will be everyone’s favourite Saber.

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

It looked like he was so overwhelmed about achieving his dream that he was tearing up.
