Nice use of editing the quotes, BCrespi.  ::laugh::

Haha, thanks, hands down the most productive thing I've done all night.  Watching the Rangers play awesome hockey was the only other thing.  Let's Go Rangers, and of course, Let's Go Red.

The nice thing about real life is that you really can't script it quite as perfectly as it sometimes turns out.

Rich, doesn't your screen scroll all the way to bottom of the Nickerson scouting report? Just in case you're still using a 14" VGA display (prices have come down on bigger replacements) or the scroll button is broken, it ends this way:

 >>> FUTURE: Nickerson needs to improve his skating and overall fitness while developing his raw offensive talents. He must also learn to rein in his temper in certain situations there. While it can be useful to be a beast on the ice, it should be done in a way that does not hurt the team.

Thanks Bill,

And you guys talk about my sarcasm?

I am very familiar with Nickerson's plusses and minuses having seen him play more times than I expect cornell folks have.

I'm also familiar with Coach Roll's assessment, having spoken with him, and that of a current NHL GM.

I agree that his on ice behavior hurt his team a number of times, I saw it myself.

I also saw that he has "skills" besides his size as the scouting report stated.

Sounds like it's some of you guys who may have needed to read the entire report.

It wasn't worth the effort.  :-D

In short, he's basically a big guy, and while that may have helped alot at the college level, there are now other bigger guys, so that alone won't cut it.
