Lol yeah I'm sure the 18 year old OHLer that is admittedly a big fan of Johnny Manziel and Patrick Kane's off ice behavior doesn't like to party and isnt just saying that to help his stock. Also I have a bridge in Brooklyn I would like to sell you.

An 18 year old male athlete may to like party? You don't say! Do you actually think every other 18 year old at the draft does not like to party?

The guys point was that he likes and respects people who embrace life outside of hockey and not just being Sidney Crosby hockey robots.

You just went from "look he doesn't like to party!" to "of course he parties" in two posts.

Also there's a p big difference between "I like to party" and having your main role models being two functional alcoholics, one of which has assaulted multiple people while drunk.

Also if that was the point he was trying to make, he's a moron. Every hockey player has something outside of hockey, wether it be family, a side business, a summer sport, etc. He idolizes the one that choose to spend their free time destroying their brains in night clubs.

You really have no reading comprehension skills do you? Nowhere did I say he doesn't like to party. I was pointing out you took his comments completely out of context in an article that explicitly points out that the comments should be taken in context. Now you're saying I reversed positions on something I never said.

Sidney Crosby is a bad role model, don't be like him. Also he is a boring person. Not a guy who has to constantly walk on eggshells with what he says because he has 40 sponsorships and is the most famous hockey player alive.

Legit chance VAN deals defenceman Jason Garrison although he has full NTC. It's believed he would reluctantly waive depending on location...

Hearing TB and MTL as potential landing spots for Garrison. TB was interested in Garrison when he was UFA and chose VAN

Some team is going to be pretty happy with him and after the year he had he can probably be acquired for a song.

I hope the Pens draft him, but Rutherford said he's open to trading the pick and I have a feeling he will move it for a forward

Ho Sang mighty party but does he party the pittsburgh way, leaving incredible amounts of garbage all over the place like an idiot retard? This is important

(1) He is making a joke. (2) Ho-Sang does it himself in way that (for teenagers) is matter of fact and non-confrontational.

quote:

"You know what? Yeah, I'm diverse. I'm a weirdo. It's hard to explain to people," Ho-Sang said. "You look at me. Once you actually see me, I'm a black kid missing a tooth. Who is this guy? Misconceptions can totally be drawn from that. That's not profiling. That's not anything. You don't know what to expect. I think that's life."

If they set it up in an escalating scale so that the third pick has an actual chance of going to the cup winning team, I am so on board for this

The new lottery is going to be known as the purge. It requires one sacrificial offering from each team. You must choose one of your own players to die for the glory of your franchise. The more penalty minutes that player accrued over the past season the higher chance you have of winning

I like Ho-Sang because his mom is Chilean, and I am Chilean. Although he doesn't seem to embrace that side of him as much as his Jamaican side. Racist.

A man's man, wears a lot of denim, tells long stories and has oatmeal saved from this morning.

I'm hoping Ho-Sang won't drop past 20, because I'll end up real disappointed if Bervegin passed on him because of his lack of CHARACTER and respek.

I guess Vancouver likes Bonino because there's not much there otherwise. Sbisa is a useful depth defenseman I guess, and the pick is whatever.

Bonino really benefited by some luck driven factors this season to put up those 50 points. I mean you'd be hard pressed to find a guy on Anaheim last year who didn't have an inflated shooting percentage while he was on the ice to trade for, but I think they bought high on a guy who never really showed much of anything before this year.
