    Well at least you can say whatever you want about him, because he probably can’t read.

    Sound it out junior.

  2. I’d be surprised if the Flames weren’t already aware of this prior to drafting him.

    Damn, whenever I fucked up it was just between me and my academic advisor and a few other folks. Can’t imagine having that stuff aired out to everyone. 

  4. Is this a big deal? Seems like he was more focused on hockey than his grades

    The kid doesn’t need a degree to rip pucks bardownski

    Who needs Pythagoreans theorem when you can go bardownski

    Not worried about it. Having great grades in an American college while not speaking fantastic English probably isn’t easy, and he’s a great hockey player. Hockey IQ is fairly high on this kid, at least offensively.

    We drafted the smartest player with the 9th pick, had to balance it out by drafting the dumbest one at 28th.

    /s

  9. English isn’t his first language studying in a english speaking university when you aren’t native to the language is hard he shouldn’t be ashamed because of this and take the opportunity to prove himself in the Q

    Ray Edwards was on 960 this morning and literally said that they would all make a decision on where he was playing next year after the CHL import draft (also today), even though he was already committed to Michigan, so it sounds like the flames were very aware that the CHL was the likely route

  11. Lemme know when you guys come up with a pun for his name that has something to do with being dumb.

    All good as long as he’s smarter than Corey and Trevor. Those two are fucked

    This kid is burning the boats.

    When they interviewed him he was talking about winning the Stanley Cup.

    They asked him if it was his dream to play in the NHL. He said no, making the NHL was his goal, and now he has achieved it, but his dream was winning the Stanley Cup.

    Great! Now we don’t have to have an Adam Fox situation down the road. Go develop in the Q, now.

    Meh hockey players aren’t exactly known for being scholars I guess.

    Never heard of this happening in my life, you telling me all these guys who play college hockey, basketball, and football at American universities actually had the grades to get in?

    Imagine being 18 years old already being disappointed with your grades and then having to see this infographic with your face on it being shared on social media mentioning it too. Poor kid. Hope he crushes it in the Q.
