I’m pretty sure the games played will be even at 23.

It reminds me of young Iginla in 2002, at the All Star game and in the Olympics. He talked a lot about how guys like Joe Sakic were so complimentary towards him and it helped him believe he belonged with that group. We all know how Iggy finished that year. Really, for the rest of his career, he was a star in the league.

I think Johnny has kind of already been through that a bit, but like browna says, when a guy like Jagr witnesses it day in and day out and makes these comments, it means more.

Yes, you're right, I remember it now! He was called in because he could drive down from Edmonton in time for the camp. He started that season en fuego. Which of course he parlayed into an All Star appearance and a key component of that Olympic team.

Even on nights where he scores zero points he could have had 3 or more!

Goes to show we haven't talked about Ferland enough, as I hadn't even taught the name to my phone

Even in the OP Monahan doesn't even get a mention for being 4th in goals in the league, nevermind his own thread for his race to the Richard.

It's nothing personal it's just getting old.

Yep, this is FlashWalken's thing, that's why it's funny. Others don't realize but when they jump in on the joke it just becomes overbearing and incessant.

Maybe I just have a bad sense of humour, but I find the "Monahan sucks " posts hilarious. Whether or not theyre serious really
