Either I know you and your tendencies better than you, or you are just posting this for attention.

Lol... you have link?

close... i like caipirinhas, heavy on the cachaça but most bartenders don't know how to make one so i enjoy those at home.

try caipirosshkas with level.

Don't defensemen take MUCH longer to develop than forwards? You should go back to the Perry vs. Boyle argument. Do you really think that another "finesse" defenseman in the lineup is the answer at this point? The Kings need a physical, imposing, shutdown type, not another finesse guy on their blueline.

Hickey plays a lot bigger than his size,he hits,battles for loose pucks and even protects his teammates.Don't let size fool you,Duncan Keith and Keith Ballard aren't big guys but they play tough.

i drink caipirinhas because the cachaça is so smooth, but i'll try that for a change of scenery every now and then. thanks & karma for the suggestion.

Hickey will be a faster-skating version of Mike Weaver.

He will be awesome.

He could absolutely double Weaver's offensive production.

Just imagine Weaver with another gear, and that's Hickey.

Anyone who is using the argument of "Gagner is only a better looking prospect because he's playing in the NHL right away." probably hasn't been watching him play that much.

Gagner had a really slow start, but right now, if he was getting the time of day in Edmonton, he'd be showing Patrick Kane levels of production.

Not true. He is one year closer to playing in the NHL.
