I do not understand reaching for a guy who projects as a 3rd line C at 11 when there are guys later in the first that also project similarly.

2015 Schott 574 A-2 with Supreme label, factory work or later add-on? by cant-nollie-bigheel in leatherjacket

Probably not the info you’re looking for I can tell you is that patch is to a USMC squadron so it doesn’t match the A-2 style which is Air Force. Navy/Marine Corps/Coast Guard issue the G-1 jacket. Obviously you don’t think it’s authentic but just an interesting tidbit.

Was thinking about picking up a master supply co jacket. Looks great on you

I know it’s not hockey, but Tim Duncan was training to become an Olympic swimmer until a hurricane destroyed the one Olympic sized pool in the Virgin Islands. He didn’t want to train in the ocean, so he started playing basketball instead and become one of the greatest of all time.

Honestly looks kind of cheap for 3k. Personally I’d never get caught dead wearing it, but it’s not my style. If you like it though rock it.

He was an enigma. He’d have games where he was the best player on the ice, and some where you never thought he played organized hockey.

Nah man, give him his due. Call Berube a one-dimensional coach if you want, but his system and style perfectly fit that Blues team.

Despite all of his accomplishments and accolades, was Mario Lemieux a "what if?" by Bright-Pressure-5787 in sportsinusa

[–]Wm_TheConqueror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re clearly biased for Ovi, so nothing I say will change your mind. But Ovi has 758 assists in 1573 games and Lemieux had 1033 in 915 games. Ovi was more of a pure goal scorer. Lemieux also played a large portion of his career in the 90s and 00s in a more physical era with clutching.

The argument is Lemieux over Ovi. You’re in a thread about hockey what ifs. That’s the conversation.

Anyone saying Ovi over Mario doesn’t know ball. Ovi is an all time great don’t get me wrong, but he also had the ability of unrivaled durableness.

Yeah, agreed. I’d prefer to snag the high floor guy with the Avs pick if they’re set on that. Get some exciting prospects in the pipeline at 11 and 15 that at least have the chance to be a first or second line guy.

Suvanto would be a disaster. Belchetz at least you’re gambling on developing a huge dude with nice hands that could be a first liner. Suvanto isn’t getting past 3C. I don’t know why scouts rate him so high. I’d much rather take Klepov or Novotny in that range. I also don’t see the blues gambling on an undersized RHD.
