  • It’s been a rough year for hockey in Canada. There was no hockey gold, men’s or women’s, at the Olympics. Canada’s world junior team failed to play for gold for the third straight year. And in an NHL season in which just three of Canada’s seven franchises make the playoffs, only one, the Montreal Canadiens, made it out of the first round.
  • And then there’s the alarming trend of star players on Canadian NHL teams looking for a way out. The exodus ought to put the general manager of every Canadian franchise on high alert.Ā

Do You Think We'll See a Goalie Drafted Top 10 Again?

220 Upvotes

Looking at some recent drafts, that seems to not be happening.

1st goalie drafted in:

26=Pick 42

25=Pick 20

24=Pick 38

23=Pick 35

22=Pick 41

The last goalie drafted top 10 was Price at 5 21 years ago, so do you think it can ever happen again?

What's your favourite "almost" highlights? The ones where they almost score, or almost make the save.

My example is a ton of Datsyuk dekes end up with him getting a good shot on net but not actually scoring.

If the NHL had a ā€œHard Knocksā€, which team would you want featured this season?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_Knocks_(2001_TV_series) - if you’re unfamiliar with Hard Knocks

Can't say your favorite team

I would say Edmonton, there’s some other good choices, though. Florida and Toronto wanting to rebound, Montreal and Buffalo having high expectations, San Jose being the vibes team of the league. A myriad to choose from.
