Drafted 15th overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft from the USNTDP of the USHL.
Signed his ELC almost immediately, making him ineligible for North Dakota of the WCHA of the NCAA. Went to Plymouth of the OHL who owned his CHL rights. Where he was over PPG player last year. 62 points in 61 games.
This year, he won gold at the WJC with USA. Has been maturing as a professional in Hartford.
Called up.
Big kid, skates very well. Strong. Responsible, physical player. Very good hands and intelligence. Underrated playmaking skills. Good on faceoffs. Great character. Works his ass off. Solid board play. Solid around the net.
Comparables: Mike Richards, Ryan Kesler, Dustin Brown, Brandon Dubinsky.
Going to be a heck of player.
To be fair, he has not been too good in Hartford according to the reports of people who consistently watch.
I can't stand this team, I can't stand their coach, I can't stand their goalie, I can't stand most of their fans, I can't stand Ryan Carter, I can't stand our lineup (Miller centering Asham and Bickel )
I'm just full of hate tonight

I wouldn't worry too much about Miller starting on the fourth line considering how much Torts' switches the lines. For all we know, we can see him on the second line by the end of the second period.

Where did you get the idea that Miller will be centering Asham and Bickel?

No goon. That means that everyone will get beat up and the world will end.

Nope just means your 3 top prospect will play exposed without one sorry but people who played the game understand that fact
What do I fail to understand? That Rupp never did anything besides beat the **** out of Kopecky?
He sure prevented Sauer from getting hurt, also Gaborik. Goons are pointless. Prust's are valuable players because they are hockey players that can drop the gloves. Rupp's are worthless because they add nothing from a talent standpoint, they ONLY drop the gloves.
I need to stay off the devils GDT because reading it just pisses me off. I feel like I just read a conversation that Chico Resch had with himself on that board. All devils fans are the same. Smh.
Ok I'm starting to get juiced. Game time almost here!
Hey, ya know that scene in Rocky 2, where Adrian is laying in the hospital bed upon waking from the coma, and says to Rocky "Come here.. I want you to do something for me... Win.. WIN"...
Watching this game with my roommate, a devils fan. Also have to watch the Devils feed (we're watching Rangers/Devils games on whatever channel the home team is). This will be interesting. LGR!

Beat these clowns tonight, LETS GO RANGERS
that is exactly what it's like reading their board...great analogy!!!
What kills me is how they try and act like they are still winning Cups despite it being a DECADE since their last one...and since then one and done's with one cindarella rub last season.
For a fanbase who have killed ours for yrs for over-celebrating 94, and rightfully so, it's time to take your own advice----TEN years is a loooonnngg time ago in the sports world so realize as a fan base this isn't 1995-2003
