Hockey - #1 NHL Draft pick was in town tonight

[SaigonK]

I love hockey, and tonight the NHL's #1 draft pick (Sidney Crosby) came into town...he didnt do a thing but sit in the penalty box a couple of times. 🙂 Took a few photos tonight while at the game....

We tied them 3 to 3 after overtime, it was a good game to say the least!
Not to say that Crosby was the highlight of the evening, our team has some stars as well..


Alex Picard - Drafted - 1st Round - Pick #8 - Columbus BlueJackets
Chad Denny - Eligble for the draft this year - ranked #6 in the NHL central scouting report
Alex Bouret - Eligble for the draft this year - ranked #5 in the NHL central scouting report
Michal Korenko - Eligble for the draft this year - ranked #13 in the NHL central scouting report

Hes not drafted yet, and may not be until the 2006 Draft. Alexander Ovechkin was the #1 draft pick at the 2004 draft

Has to be QMJHL.

 

[SofaKing]

Yeah, but he was drafted #1 in the WHA right?

Whoa, not bad at all..but again, this isn't the NHL..

 

[dragonballgtz]

The WHA is not going to happen. It's just bullsh!t.

Might not be the NHL, but for a kid who is only 17, he is doing pretty well.

They can draft, but no one wants to play in that ass of a league (that doesnt exist). lol.

Meh. These are stats!

Note the stats of Lemieux's final in Laval (83-84). ahem.

 

[dragonballgtz]

The problem with the QMJHL is that any above average NHL player could have a sh!t load of points in that league.

 

[dragonballgtz]

Sidney Crosby age 16: GP59 G54 A81 P135
Mario Lemieux age 16: GP64 G30 A66 P96

I do admit though Mario had/has the best raw skill ever.

 

[JonnyStarks]

That kid has skills... watching him play in the world juniors was awesome.

 

[rh71]

how does he play ? Lemieux has the size to go with his skill in the NHL. If Crosby is small, he's not going to fight through the clutch and grab.

At least I know Ovechkin plays big. :thumbsup: 😉

I wonder how they're doing the next draft... how about the same order as 2004 ? 😀

<-- Caps lifer.

seriously : did you see the article about the 'turkey' teams in the bay area. The sharks were considered one of them, not cause they were bad, but just cause they arn't being given a chance right now. It's a shame too 🙁
