Also are yall using your real heights? Cuz we some tall mother fuckers.
I'm 3 inches shorter and 25 pounds lighter than my character. If anyone here really is 6'7", I bet Bourke would give you a PTO on potential truculence alone.

Something about O'Bourke going directly after O'Rourke is amazing.
The Vaguely-Offensive Irish Stereotypes in their natural habitat. Now I'm sad I didn't keep his first name as Mickey.

Also really surprised to see him projected as top-10.

Let's see if Jimmy O'Rourke still goes top-10 like the midseason rankings predicted.

I get the feeling Jimmy O'Rourke is going to turn out to be a very disappointing first-round pick for Phoenix.

On the plus side he's managed to escape that deepest pit of wind-blown hell called Lethbridge.

Yeah, I'm fine with that. It was pretty worrying to go 12th in the draft and be a healthy scratch for the entire first half-season in the AHL.

12/6/14 -- NJ sent C. Conway down to Albany (AHL)
12/27/14 -- VAN sent F. Bar down to Utica (AHL)
So O'Rourke gets 8 points in 44 games compared to Conway's 16 in 26, but he's the one who gets sent down? Do the Devils have like 6 centers on contract or what?

3 goons in NJ, now. We have to win the cup this year, drat it!

And apparently I get to be on a line with Conway this year. I expect my point total to go up noticeably if that remains the case.

O'Rourke finally gets some playoff playing time and he gets 53 PIM in 17 games. Awesome.

DAL -- re-signed A. Steidl to $72mil/7yr contract

:stonk:

I'm pretty sure that's the highest combined terms/pay
New Jersey gave Vittunen $79.7M/7.

And it looks like Jimmy ain't staying in NJ this time. I'll miss my buds Teemu and Charlie.

Devils' all-goon first line:

quote:

NJD -- C. Conway (96 OVR) -- Starting Center
NJD -- J. O'Rourke (94 OVR) -- Starting Left Wing
NJD -- T. Vittunen (95 OVR) -- Starting Right Wing

Good to be back in North America, Charlie and Teemu. Let's smash face... together.

Last season the O'Rourke-Conway-Vittunen line combined for 254 regular-season and 58 playoff points, and we played the big minutes in New Jersey, and not one of us can even buy an A. drat, NJ, what the hell?

My "power forward" is trying for the Lady Byng apparently :negative:
You're on a line with Grinder O'Rourke, averaging 3.35 PIM/Gm. If Teemu racked 'em up too that line would never be off the PK.

The only good thing about this shitshow of a season in New Jersey is that O'Rourke is ppg in his last contract year.
