Connor Bedard

[HUNT]

Fantilli is a beast, he is definitely no consolation prize at all. He can play right away.

 

[KJ]

Arizona is the worst place for him to go besides Ohio. Like oil and water. He needs to go to a place with tradition. An Original 6 city.

Fuck that

Half of Detroit and Chicago has moved here

North Scottsdale is a hotbed, that's not even up for discussion

 

[KJ]

Tempe passes that deal we will finally after a couple decades of shrugging have a hockey franchise

They don't pass it, they're gone yesterday

 

[HUNT]

It's definitely hot.

 

[KJ]

It's definitely hot.

I actually on occasion go out to the Ice Den because it's fairly close and just watch youth hockey

So much talent, likely from all the North and Canada that have moved here but better than paying to go to a Yotes game :rofl:

 

[KJ]

And it's a couple exits away from Talking Stick

You at least go there. My brother lives in Phoenix and refuses to go to Scottsdale.

I'm pretty close to Phx/Scottsdale line but I'm up North, not like I'm banging a night in Old Town. Ice Den and Talking Stick (everyone who comes here needs to see that poker room) aren't but 20 minutes away. Hell forgot jimmymo is gonna be here in a couple weeks.

DK sportsbook is supposed to be open by Fall this year at TPC Scottsdale, that will be massive. Same area as I'm referring to

Canada or original 6 is only option

 

[guaranteeed]

Except chicago

 

[guaranteeed]

Him going to arizona would legitimately be embarrassing for the league

Imagine Lebron getting drafted to Saskatchewan and having to play in a high school gym for 3 years

Would be a joke

Outside bedard, mcdavid, Matthews, he would go 1 overall anytime last 10 years imo

Yes. Exactly.

Just a knack for the net. Big and fast. He good.

You've lost the plot mate

I know there is no reasoning with you on it, but you've lost it

 

[dg84]

It doesn't matter where he goes, if he's the generational talent everyone thinks he is. The Penguins franchise was on life support when they drafted Lemieux in 1984 & he turned them into one of the most consistently top shelf teams & fan bases in the NHL.

 

[KJ]

It's likely Chicago gets the first pick so let's start cheering each other and get ahead of the thread tea is gonna start before it's annoying

Grats Teahawks :cheers3:

I'd be happy if they had a real arena

I do think Matthew's ends up there in a few years if the arena deal goes through, but the most hyped prospect in 20 years, hes 1a/1b with mcdavid, playing in that arena isnt a good look

Columbus is worse

 

[dylanphan]

Bedard + Johnny Hockey = championship(s)

Finally Sky Harbor came in for support, can't imagine how much lobbying and dollars were involved to get the airport to sign on but they're down. That area has been untouchable because of the airport people.

I agree that he should demand to be traded to the Rangers but I doubt it happens.

I'm all for sending Lebron to Saskatchewan on a permanent basis.

 

[brewers888]

I took the Flyers +1500 to win the lottery since Bedard in the Rangers division is the nightmare I expect to happen.

 

[Teapot9]

5pm Monday NHL draft lottery on ESPN

 

[guaranteeed]

Big day tomorrow

 

[Teapot9]

Big day tomorrow

What would the scene be like if the hometown team miraculously won the lottery?

 

[jedi ninja]

What would the scene be like if the hometown team miraculously won the lottery?

Shots fired, 5 dead, 27 injured. So just like a normal weekend, just all in one day on a Monday.

plan the parade

 

[guaranteeed]

Feeling right now is

Montreal gets 1
Chicago 2

Hope I'm wrong

 

[jedi ninja]

Wrong country

Canada took Chicago from us? Nice. What did we get back?

 

[guaranteeed]

Bedard is from vancouver

You can definitely have saskatchewan tho

We will throw in a territory of your choosing

 

[guaranteeed]

Speaking of violence though

Saw a review of the 30 for 30 on riots here after 2011 cup final

Seems it takes a sympathetic view too the actual rioters

 

[jedi ninja]

Bedard is from vancouver

Yes, thanks Teed.

Teapot is from Chicago.

Of course it will, it’s made by ESPN. I hope that didn’t surprise you in any way.

Was anyone killed there? Or just property damage galore?

 

[CPA-hole]

When is this supposed to happen?

Special election on 5/16

How to make sense of Tempe's Coyotes deal and where to vote on it

 

[guaranteeed]

Was anyone killed there? Or just property damage galore?

No one died

 

[HUNT]

Definitely a blackhawk

 

[KJ]

No one died

That's what I thought, kind of a polite riot

Can't believe it's been 12 years

 

[guaranteeed]

Think damage was under 10 million, volunteers had everything cleaned up by next morning

Why do people hate on the Hawks for having an absolute wagon of a team in the 2010’s?

It’s embarrassing and honestly I don’t buy it.
This screams of Lazarus stuffing the ballot box.

 

[Teapot9]

Bedard is wearing 16 in the national right?

I should be getting home today a couple minutes into the lottery and if the Hawks get first pick I’m trying to order a jersey that minute.

 

[brewers888]

Anyone but Philadelphia is fine with me but I'm rooting for Columbus.

 

[Teapot9]

The Athletic probably wants him to go to the team who has the best pride night

Lazarus said dont even hold the lottery just award the winner based on amount of bud light sold in that city the last month

 

[Gandolf]

Not too far from Hawks colors
