Zach6668 513 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I like Sharpie cuz he's a hometown boy, and he went to my high school. Link to post Share on other sites
rinswun 6 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 sharp is the most shocking one of the lot but he's been getting it done every night so whilst he may cool down 65 points isnt out of the question.ranger is the product of boyle's bad luck so i think his numbers will tail off once boyle returns. cullen also seems to be the product of a good situation, i dont think he'll keep up his current pace.someone (i'm too lazy) should make a thread of players: jagr, elias, afinogenov, etc... who arnt playing to their usual level. it will be interesting to see if those guys can turn it around in 2008.

nell789 0 Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 A friend of mine who is a Canadiens fan used to try and convince me every year that it "this year is Ribeiro's breakout campaign". Every I would scoff at him and make bets about ribeiro's total points vs different leaf players' points on the season. I always won the bets. The same friend was incensed when ribeiro got traded. And now when he would actually have won a few bets with me involving ribeiro, he doesn't care because he doesn't play for Montreal anymore. Link to post Share on other sites

TheDaveyG 6 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Patrick Sharp - 34GP 19G 13A 32PTSTobias Enstrom - 37GP 3G 18A 21PTSPaul Ranger - 36GP 6G 14A 20PTSDustin Byfuglien - 24GP 8G 9A 17PTSMike Green - 37GP 8G 8A 16PTSAll these players are poised to greatly eclipse their career best scoring marks. Do you think these guys are the real deal? Can they keep up the pace over the course of the season? Over the course of their careers? Who else belongs on this list?I think Sharp is for real, he's only 26 and finally coming into his own. I think Enstrom is what ATL expected offensively and pleasantly surprised by his defense. Ranger's numbers are a little high because of Boyle being injured, but he'll be at this level soon. I don't think anyone expected Byfuglien to do as well as he has so fast, the Hawks staff knew he has quick skates and a good shot, but I don't think they thought he would come on so fast. Mike Green is good also. Link to post Share on other sites
strategy 4 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 why'd we leave off miettinen? and yes he is 100% the benefactor of ribeiro Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 That was a dumb move even you have to admit that, where's Niniima now?Yes, it was a bad trade.My point was that Serge, as usual, makes a hyperbole out of everything. Bob Gainey made a bad move so he's an "overrated tool"? Serge has a hate on anything Montreal and there is only one reason for it...cup envy.If John Ferguson Jr. had made this trade we would be hearing Serge go on and on about how Ribeiro probably never would have had a breakout season without getting traded.

pezeveng 207 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Ribeiro had a difficult time as he was way too consumed with the night life in Montreal. I wonder what is his weight difference while playing in Montreal and now. Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,323 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I think Green is a very talented, very nice surprise...Green wasn't a surprise to me.I seem to remember somebody telling me before the season started that Enstrom wasn't going to make Atlanta as I was drafting him. I wonder which member of the hockey media that was. Link to post Share on other sites
