@Avalancheforlife1319 Change your mind?
-
Wish I was there to hear the coliseum loud again :,(. Go Tavares and my beloved islanders vote yes
-
Well we (Colorado) Got a way better pick with Matt Duchene.
BTW the NY Rangers are a wayyy better team the the Islanders!
-
God, I wish we had a draft system like this for football here in Europe... This is such an awesome scene.
-
Umm not Sidney Crosby.....!!!!!...good try though!!
-
With the first Overall pick the Kansas City Scouts select Frank Tavares,Second baseman.........wait a minute wrong Tavares! He'll probably be ass good as him. LOL
-
yeah you can but defense that comes naturally is much more effective
-
Yeah well when the Islanders were drafting way back when, it was asked to Al Arbour who he would rather choose. The player he chose was Mike Bossy because he said "you can always teach defense"
-
may i point out that you've spelled several things incorrectly i just didn't point them out because this argument isn't about either of our failings in english class and no i didn't get owned i just said that you guys got the player who will be the ilya kovalchuk or alex ovechkin of this draft we got the henrik zetterberg or pavel datsyuk your guy may get all the attention but it will be ours who wins all of the stanley cups
-
Classic case of you getting owned and then trying to change the subject. To top it all of you even spelled "misinterpreted" incorrectly. I applaud your stupidity and your lack of hockey knowledge. No need to be repetitive I destroyed that thesis long ago.
hahaha i'm glad they took tavares duchene is gonna be way better man waaaaaaaaaaaaay better

I love the way you state it like it is fact. The fact that you say he is going to be "WAY" better is laughable, because I am sure they will both be great players in the league. Yeah Duchene is gonna be good, but so is Tavares. I don't get how you can say at this stage of their careers that one is going to be so much better than the other. You have no basis for it.

dude it happens all the time first a player is over hyped and has cameras around him since he was like 16 then when he does get drafted he goes first overall and people predict him to be the next wayne gretzky then it turns out hes not that good and that team gets screwed so have fun with that islanders

I don't know where in the world you are hearing people are predicting him to be Wayne Gretzky, that's the most insane thing ever. I have been reading tons of Tavares articles for months now and there has not been one comparison to him. People don't even think he will be the next Crosby, Ovechkin, or Malkin. So I don't know where you are hearing this stuff. No one thinks he is a generational talent, people just think he is going to be a great goal scorer in the league.
