Never go for a goalie in the 1st round. It's a crapshoot at best.

Perhaps you are unfamiliar with sarcasm. It's when someone says something in a way that implies the opposite sentiment. What I meant with my statement above is that you lack wit and your attempt at "poking fun at him for being a whiny loser" is needless and also completely devoid of wit, humour or intelligence for that matter. Sorry for not making that clear.

I so for sentences to make sense you need to follow certain structure. "Your Mom" doesn't a complete sentence make, perhaps English is difficult for you? Try keeping off the internet and instead have conversations in person with real people.

How does he turn into a 30 goal scorer in Pittsburgh, I can see him succeeding with McDavid due to speed but Crosby and Malkin don't play speed games. Kap sucks along the boards, he sucks in his end and only can go fast in straight lines and doesn't have the skill to dangle and his passing is bad. He's going to disappoint in Pittsburgh


First off, great trade for TOR. Dubas received way above and beyond what most people believed Kapanen's trade value to be. But being that Kapanen is only 24 years old, his game should naturally improve for at least the next 2-3 years.

Last season at age 23, Kapanen scored 20 G and had 44 Points. Most of those goals/points came playing on the top 6 when a spot had opened up for him, so he proved at age 23 that he could be quite effective playing on a top line with an elite center (Tavares or Matthews).

I believe Malkin will have similar chemistry with Kapanen as he did with Kessel by using his speed and skill to open up the ice for Malkin to make plays. If played with Crosby, having enough speed to keep up with Crosby should give Kapanen many scoring chances in particular on the rush when Crosby forces the opponents team defense to collapse toward him.

That actually is not correct, he had a spurt with Matthews at the beginning of the year where he was nearly a point a game but then completely fell apart in the 2nd half and playoffs. He was on pace for 35 goals at one point and it took him to the last couple of days before he made it to 20. He failed at making a mark in the top 6 this year again. He's inconsistent and all around not very good. At 24 he should be hitting his prime but I am not sure he knows what he needs to be to be effective. He's super fast, but his shot is average at best, he isn't a good skater and his stick handling is just okay. He never goes hard to the net unless it's on a breakaway and for all the grit he gets credit for, he doesn't hit much or really offer grit. He also disappears in the playoffs

I think it's funny that you need people angry at your just to feel important. Well it's not funny, more disturbing and sad really. Has anyone ever hugged you?
