Its time we dedicate a thread to up and coming superstar Zach Bogosian..Last year he was ranked around number 10..Some publications have him now ranked number two...Here is a great article about the Peterborough Petes star.

http://news.therecord.com/specialreports/r.../article/288597

He was tutored by the great Ray Bourque and is represented by legend Bobby Orr...He has been compared to another great Peterborough Pete dman Chris Pronger.

Help me in welcoming Zach Bogosian to the the NHL...Lets hope the Leafs can land him.

jinxed

Come on.

He doesn't even spell it he same as you.

it doesnt matter...He is going to be my new favourite player...Especially if the Leafs can land him..As it stands now we would have a good shot at him.

A new mancrush. That's so sweet.

You and the wife gonna squeeze in a little Brokeback Mountain between the hockey game and Y&R?

its scary how you know my tv watching habits..

for the record I havent seen brokeback mountain

PS

Your fascination with Stamkos is actually the mancrush.

Maybe snack on some edamame?

na...I only eat edamame when we go to a sushi restaurant...But there maybe be some tea ,or some fruit tonight.

funny thing is TMN just finished showing Brokeback and Y and R is on right now between 4:30-5:30.

8 replies and no one has tried to get a bet about the "future hall of famer" comment?

SLACKERS!

Y an R in our house gets watched later in the evening...usually after the hockey game...

Back to the topic..

Zach Bogosian prop bets should be available early as next July...Get in line...

u interested??Its a very very future bet....

Our boy Zach is now officially ranked number two in the final rankings.

GO ZACH

Been quite a jump and it's great to see. He is the only top flight draft prospect in this draft I've had the opportunity to see live (vs Tavares and Oshawa earlier in the year) and he was lights out in every facet. He even won the game with a shootout goal (3rd shooter vs Tavares' miss as the 3rd shooter for Oshawa). He looks like the real deal which means Serge just jinxed him.

Edit: I'm surprised Beach is still where he is. I've heard him taking a nose dive lately so much so that people are expecting him to go 10-15 or maybe even later. I'm also surprised Boediker (sp) hasn't risen higher as I had heard his stock was soaring of late.

Well there is a very good chance Bogosian ends up in LA. But they'll have to buy him a house in GLENDALE!

lol..that video is hilarious

Does Hickey have a brother ranked in the 50's they could take instead #2 overall?

Nope, I'm fine with the Hickey pick, he may surprise people.

wow, I cant believe Zach passed Doughty. Has Doughty slipped as well, or is this all Zach's doing? I havent seen Doughty play since worlds.

and lol Belanger...great youtube link.

lets bump this thread as the impending entry to the NHL by future Hall of Famer Zach Bogosian gets close...

I will be buying a jersey..Just waiting to which team it will be....I already have a FCP jersey with his name..Just have to change the Y to an I

GO ZACH GO ZACH

What if the Sens make a draft day trade for him? Or Montreal?

That will be a very very very tough decision...I think then I will probably just get a NHLPA jersey with his name on it.

any chance he slips to fourth overall? I'd like to see serge get a blues jersey.

Slim -- both LA and Atlanta are projected to take d-men. Unless Atlanta goes outside the box and grabs Filatov to play with Kovy.

I can live with the Blues,La, Atlanta and most of the teams that are slated..I think OTTAWA and MONTREAL only two teams I would not go ahead with the Jersey..Even Pittsburgh I would.

I'm kind of rooting for nik filatov or whatever his name is... the blues have more than enough depth on defense I think. sounds like we're probably going defense though.

But just think.. you could put your Bogosian jersey next to your Sens/Habs Sundin jersey so it won't be lonely

lol..I see what you did there...Not funny if it were to happen...

I've been hearing a lot there is a good chance LA may trade from 2 to 4. Now this is going to assume their guy is available at 4. I'm going to assume after drafting players like Johnson and Cole there is a chance that St. Louis goes after Filatov and then if Atlanta takes Doughty then LA gets Bogosian at 4.

Watch for #17 John Carlson to move up. Another NJ product coached by Danny O'Brien (who coached Rangers up and coming D-man Bobby Sanguinetti, and #2 draft picks James Van Riemsdyk and Bobby Ryan and AAIK still coaches Bill Guerin in the off season) John is a late bloomer who finally got a shot at the USHL after moving up slowly in the NJ Rockets Junior system. At 6'2 210 at age 18 who skates like all of the O'Brien coached kids, hes going to be a monster.

Rumour that the Sens are trying to make a move for Bogosian:

Got your Thrashers jersey yet, Serge?

Yes..I will be buying one...Just want to make sure the number

The number of times I have been asked in the last week if I am related to Zach Bogosian...8

Number times I expect to be asked before the season, especially on my trip to California 54

serge, if I didn't hate both the price and look of the customized reebok jerseys, I'd totally cook up some leafs/blues bet where the loser has to purchase and photograph himself wearing the other team's jersey. if only they had stuck with koho/ccm...

Who says you have to buy a new one? There are plenty of jersey options out there. There's a seller on ebay from Papua New Guinea who makes them out of Yak hair.

I guess. I just don't want a piece of garbage, and that's pretty much what I've heard the new NHL.com replicas are like.

$20.00? The crest is almost worth that...lol

Oh wow... I think I might buy this......

I would be up for this...we can iron out the details.

how's that jersey DM posted look? I could buy it now and keep it if I win the bet

So If I win I get the Blues Jersey??

yep, and vice-versa. unless you have a better idea.

Ok thats cool..We will devise something closer to September.

The Atlanta Thrashers are my second favourite team..

Zach Bogosian leading the defence.
John Anderson the new coach..

and yes rumour is that Rick Vaive will be named an assistant coach..

Thats huge reason to follow that team now.

I can't wait for the hamburger/comb giveaways.*























* hopefully someone will get it

got the hamburger part..John Anderson burgers..COMB???Something to do with Rick Vaive's hair?

Do you have some kind of fetish for lost causes and mismanagement or something? Regardless, based on what little I knew, I was really hoping he would be passed at second, and if we can figure out a way to develop him and hang on to him, he'll probably be a bright spot amid my torment for years to come. Let's just hope they don't trade him in a bundle for 16 games-worth of useless, aging former star.

Bogosian looks to be one of those players that you are just happy came around while you were alive. I was unfortunate to be born after Bobby Orr played, but it looks like the cosmos have finally evened things up for me. This man is an artist, and for the next 20 years, the NHL is is canvas.
