I read between the lines Mitch, I think you know and realize that Ruffled Rodney is just playing the Tom Foolery card.<br /><br />Ruffled Rodney opened the door saying that Eberle has all the stats to merit this prestigous honor, and I disagree. Jordan has had some solid years as a Pat, but his stats are not what will raises his jersey to the rafters. Perhaps one day when we look back at his NHL/WJHC accomplishments, the jersey debate will be a no brainer!!!<br /><br />He is no doubt a good one and will definitely have a lengthy career in the NHL one day soon. But the comparison was made with the name of Dale Derkatch. Oooooops, The Ruffled One, he did it again!!!!!<br /><br />Punch up www.hockeydb.com and enter the name Dale Derkatch. Just look at what he did as a 17, 18 & 19 year old. I think you know the numbers, they are quite amazing. What is equally amazing is what he accomplished in the play-offs!!!<br /><br />Yes he was protected, but he was the first to mix it up, he never once backed down from a challenge. This guy was sensational, some say one of the best WHL'ers EVER!!!<br /><br />If you ask a few people in the hockey world and or media such as Barry Trotz, Ross Mahoney, Barry Trapp, Bob Strumm, Gregg Drinnan, Rob Vanstone....They should have some very good insight and thoughts on the topic. I would love to hear what they have to say.<br /><br />It is not a debate on who is/was the better player, rather it is on who made a bigger impact to the organization. We are not talking about Jordan's WJHC scoring feats, Derkatch also represented his country twice at the tournament in 1983 & 1984, it is all about impact to the Pats organization.<br /><br />For sure the 1980's was a different era, some say it was better, that is for another debate, but Derkatch filled the building night after night. People all across the league went out to see this 5ft 4.5' 130lb dynamo. The Rat packed arena's and to this day they talk about him as one of The Greatest Juniors to never play a game in the NHL!!!<br /><br />When Dale turned professional and went to Italy as a 20 yr old, who came calling at season end and asked him to return to the Pats for another Play-Off run, Strummer!!! When they came to an agreement and it was announced he would return for a regualr season home game against the LAST PLACE BRANDON WHEAT KINGS, the place was PACKED TO THE RAFTERS!!!!<br /><br />I still have the Leader Post newspaper with the headlines saying....THE RAT IS BACK!!!! It was a different time, different era, there was not as much competition for the social dollar and ontop of it all, The Pats were a league contender!!!<br /><br />It's a non-issue and it is very unfair not to mention very unprofessional for someone to even bring this comparison to light. Both Dale and Jordan are/were phenomenal players and off the ice a dream come true for any organization.<br /><br />Jordan Eberle is no doubt a star and perhaps one day will get his jersey retired to the rafters. To compare Jordan to Derkatch is just one of the reasons why I think you should apply for the play by play job for the Pats.<br /><br />CoachAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-57202241424265758972010-01-20T15:26:52.841-06:002010-01-20T15:26:52.841-06:00Mitch,

The guy has embarassed hockey with his actions. If he doesn't get a suspension equal to the kid in Ontario, it will definitely say something. I think the Devils are what team he belongs to. If I were them(or whoever he belongs to), I would also suspend him by not allowing him to play in the A or whatever league he could be sent to. That was simply disgraceful. <br /><br />TimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-47581218938088620922010-01-20T09:51:46.853-06:002010-01-20T09:51:46.853-06:00You are correct Kevin.

Those were the good old days. Remember when you had hockey pools and you split Gretzky's goals and assists. You can't do that now with Sid or Ovechkin. I'm guessing no one in junior hockey will come close to Ferraro's 108 goals. That is literally amazing!<br /><br />I can't believe you don't know who Emmannuelle Chriqui is. I know you love Stacey Keibler and for good reason, but expand your horizons. <br /><br />DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-69670339876264326712010-01-20T09:29:38.527-06:002010-01-20T09:29:38.527-06:00Mitch,
