nope...mirtle threw me off...he sounded like it was a done thing, apparently not. just said to stay tuned, the action isn't over. sorry *shame*

 

[scottflyers88]

ok i am caught up now. apparently it is down to the flyers and another team. they said it will probably take until tomorrow. he would not be my first choice although he would still be our best goalie i can remember.

Dav.....I hate the Ducks. I hate them.....I hate my own team.....

There were quite a few Ducks fans there, including my spouse. Since I had on NHL credentials I was nice to everyone. I didn't see a lot of Sharks fans. Got a cool shirt and picture ID. I am suppose to go to PuckingUgly's house with a bunch of Kings posters after the draft tomorrow but the wife may be too tired. I may be tired as well.

The draft was crazy. Many picks falling and rising. If anybody picked it correctly they should hit Vegas (Reno) hard.

i thought the draft was boring and then i turned it off and then everything happened.

I watched that full youtube clip, and by the end of it I wanted the kid to give her another shot.

Kabanov picked at #65 dash

day 2 of the draft....
you can follow it here: NHL.com - NHL Entry Draft Prospect Profiles

Pitlick Jr to Edm - he was pegged as a 1st rounder
Florida gets a gem in John McFarland. TSN guys were pretty surprised he didn't go yesterday.

So I guess Edmonton did get Taylor and Tyler after all...

something has to be up in Boston as they chose a center with their first two picks

 

[puckhead]

Colorado gets a heck of a goalie in Calvin Pickard, too.
pretty surprising that Phoenix took Visentin first.

Phoenix' list seems to be very different that everyone else's

They have a different owner than everyone else as well :p

No takers on Kabanov yet? I say the Flames should take him at #64 if still available.

 

[dash]

Maxwell Reinhart eh? Well, there's your center Flames fans. Oh boy. Why not take a chance on Kabanov Sutter, Flames draft history stinks anyway, what's one more player who doesn't pan out versus a chance you get a star player?

 

[dash]

Can Kabanov fall to #73 (and the Flames 2nd pick in this round)?

Edit: So much for that (Isles nab Kabanov with pick #65 (right after Calgary)

That Kent Simpson is no pushover either. We'll see how Campbell develops, but it wouldn't shock me at all if when all is said and done, Simpson and Pickard were the 2 best goalies to come out of this draft.

Two picks by the Flames from the same team (Kootenay of the WHL). Apparently they only scouted one team this past year.
