I'll be seeing him as well as the other Cyclones play Sunday in Cleveland. If I get to see them after the game, I'll extend our congrats to him.

Simply outstanding.
DD is a gifted player. He has that rare quality where he can see plays develop and pass where the player WILL be.
I had so much enjoyment watching this tremendously talented and hard-working player last season. It has been wonderful to see him perform at such a high level in his rookie season in the AHL. Receiving a 2 year NHL contract is a just reward for a very special player.

Even though I root for the team up I75 -way to go to DD - It is always good to see a player move up and continue to chase the dream of playing in the NHL.

| I don't think anyone that is a fan of the sport can say they didn't see this coming. He's far too good of a player and has overcome his stature to become a mighty force in the minors. Congrats DD, it was a magical season :) |

This was on the AHL's transaction page on their web-site. |
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
ZINGER!!!!! |
