Who were your other options instead of Schremp?
serge
How lucky are you that Penner got 29 goals...

I still like my chances
Jason12
Is this bet the first player to get 30 goals or the player who is youngest?

Am I reading this right? If Penner were to notch 30 this season, the bet still wouldn't be over until 7+ years from now? As Stamkos would still have a chance to score 30 at a younger age.

Oh, i think even if Penner scored 30 this season, the bet will be over long before 7 years....

Serge, did you actually understand the terms of this bet when you made it? Were you drinking? smile.gif

I made this bet expecting Penner to score 30 goals last season.

I assumed this was some sort of misunderstanding.

If by misunderstanding you mean Serge overestimates his team's ability then yes, it is a misunderstanding.

i'm up for dm winning this bet. i have latendresse and little too!

Somehow Penner has lost a goal since the last update...yeah, he's that bad.

Penner - 3 goals
Little - 3 goals
Latendresse - 4 goals
DanielNegreanu
That bet is too ridiculous. The only way Serge could win is the following parlay:

- A plane carrying all of Monkey's players crashes and burns

PLUS

-Dustin Penner getting traded


Serge, I told you that trade was death for him...
serge
The problem is he went from being a second line player on a Stanley Cup team to a first line player on the worst team in hockey..

not a good move..
serge
We all here about Dale's man crush on Steven Stamkos...

However a little know fact...

Mustangs property Shawn Matthias(Detroit Red wings) has more pts than him in the OHL this year..

Stamkos 45 pts
Matthias 46 pts.


Matthias is 4th in the OHL in scoring right ahead of Stamkos...Also Mustangs property Wayne Simmonds(LA) is 19th in OHL scoring....

So there you go....Mustangs have two solid prospects in the OHL

Matthias is more than a year older than Stamkos, isn't he? Seems to me like he should be beating Stamkos by a lot more than just one point considering that he is a year ahead in development.

Cute but Matthias is actually property of the Florida Panthers. Went to them in the Bertuzzi trade.
serge
Damn..I missed that nice...

So as a Panther fan, have you heard anything about him???Any chance at some NHL action soon..??
digitalmonkey
Matthias is actually a decent player. I think he'll be a 65 point player in the NHL.
serge
and unlike Stamkos he wasnt a 1st round pick in the AHL..

I am happy that one of my 15 crappy juniors might actually stick

Yeah the organization is REAL high on him and are already putting tags on this guy as "The next...so and so" Obviously it's real early, but one can't be disappointed with his progress so far and I'm sure he'll see a Panther uniform a lot sooner than later.
serge
ok cool...as long as he is the next Olli Jokinen and not the next Ville Peltonen...We should be ok..

Penner is FTW! This bet is solid.

Also, Matthias plays on Belleville while Stamkos plays on Sarnia.

And lets not forget that a goal is worth twice as much as an assist in the AHL. Stamkos is a goal scorer!

If anything the edge in team/linemates could go to stamkos. I agree though while mathias is going to be a solid NHL'r, stamkos barring injury/something weird stamkos should be a real star
