Strome had a 5-point game to help Erie eliminate SSM in 5 games.

Good news for Leaf fans. You can get a pretty good player drafting 4th overall.  8)

Yeah but he's skinny and short. BUST!

I wonder if the Leafs would consider trading the 1st pick (If they won it) to Phoenix for Dvorak and their pick, and then try and get Tkachuk. If the Leafs could somehow reunite this top London Knight's line, it might be worth more than getting Matthews. They have a combined 76 points in their first 11 playoff games. That is some out-of-this-world chemistry there.

 

[Bullfrog]

No, they won't. They'll take the best player available.

 

[herman]

No, they won't. They'll take the best player available.

Thank you.

This. A million times this. So much this.

Leaving aside just the fact that would be a bananas terrible return on the 1st overall pick I think it's pretty bizarre to attribute the success they're having to "chemistry". Dvorak is a second round pick playing in his second post-draft year of junior. Marner was a 4th overall pick who's playing in a post draft year of junior. Tkachuk is probably going to be a top 5 pick. That's an incredible collection of individual talent and maturity to be on a junior hockey team, let alone a single line. On the back-end they've got Juolevi who's also probably a top 10 pick. They're scoring a bunch of points because they're really good, not because they're best buddies 4 lyfe.

I'm not saying chemistry isn't a thing but we see every Olympics that if you put talented hockey players together they figure out a way to play with each other pretty quickly regardless of whether or not they've spent a single minute playing with each other before. Talent wins out. That's what's going on in London, that's why the Leafs will take Matthews with the #1 pick if they have the chance.

I am envisioning the Matthews/Marner chemistry right now.

I was just thinking C8H10N4O2; yours is a bit too much for the morning.

 

[Tigger]

Yeah, though the M&M's are so vapor trail-y when I think about it...

Like watching them on Fox Sports, circa 1998.

 

[Tigger]

Fox trax, oh yeah...

Marner to Matthews swoosh, back to Marner swoosh, back to Matthews swoosh... scores! star wars laser fire/net set ablaze sound effects...

I felt a great disturbance in the Fanbase, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in jubilation.

That would be pretty sweet.
