About This Page: This is a discussion on LA Kings Talk within the LetsGoKings.com forums, at Los Angeles Kings Hockey Fan Forum. Why does the vast majority have a hard one for the likes of DDoughty,ZBogosian and APietrangelo. Is it because they are from the OHL. If anyone is paying attention
Why does the vast majority have a hard one for the likes of DDoughty,ZBogosian and APietrangelo. Is it because they are from the OHL. If anyone is paying attention their teams are eliminated or on the brink. How good could they all be if they didn't effect any change to the playoffs. Oh they played a couple of series each...if you look further you'd see Luca Sbisa the player I've talked up since the beginning of the year, has exploded in the post-season. So far he has garnered 3 goals and 10 assists for 13 pts in 11 games. And he's not done. Up next will be Calgary Hitmen and then the winner of the Western conference of the WHL(probably TriCity). Sbisa's team the Lethbridge Hurricanes could even win the Memorial Cup,emblemmatic of Junior hockey supremacy. So before everyone starts to talk D-m,en for the 2008 draft include the likes of Schenn and Sbisa. They are the D-men I think the Kings should go after.
Have you scouted them and watch them for several games in person? This discussion is all pointless when everyone believes they are a scout and have only seen youtube videos of the player's best plays. There are obviously reasons people are hyping Doughty over all other candidates, real scouts included. Go research that before you toss stats out saying they are similar without knowing all the facts.
Gretzky and Lemieux and Orr and all must have sucked too since they didnt win the Stanley Cup every year during their careers. Oh yea, same as Bourque and Roy and Hasek and Brodeur.
Look, excluding Stamkos, I've seen, in-person, all of the top '08 draft candidates play over the last two years, watched hours upon days upon weeks of game footage, had countless interviews with them, talked with their friends and families, bought them lunch where they only paid a fraction of a cheap tip, and I still have no idea who will be better than who.*

He doesn't even pay attention to his own threads. It would be tolerable if he was actually trying to provoke a meaningful conversation, but he just types it because he likes to read his own words.
Schenn, Sbisa Every Bit As Good
