Fun fact he had a fever during that tournament and when Bedard scored the goal in OT he was sad but also glad in a way because he had no energy left to play.

RIP Fugu
Passed up several good prospects to go goalie
I get a run happened so Hawks must have heard it was going to happen and went with the guy they wanted but still
This is a pick that will either turn out to be a genius move in hindsight or a missed opportunity.
We shall see
At least we are getting more talent in pipeline in net

I'm good with going goalie here but I'm not over the moon on Gajan. Some people love hyping performances at WJCs and tourneys but I think it shines better when you have consistent success for goalies.
I recall a couple years ago some people analyzing why so many 1st round/2nd round goalies taken were busts, like a Kent Simpson of the Hawks. And it was lots of CHL guys who were meh or bad generally but had stellar tourneys that hyped them up. Gajan has some skill that hopefully steadies into a legit guy.

This dude was incredible in the WJC. I'm happy to have him and can't wait to see him in Rockford

You obviously didn't watch that game. Gajan is the only reason it wasn't a blowout, dude stood on his head. He saved 53 shots that game & on the OT winner his defense hung him out to dry.

What on God's Green Earth are those jerseys?!
At first glance it would appear Checkers/Rally's has a hockey team
I didn't mind the goalie pick, it was interesting how it all unfolded.
Thought they'd wait longer on him, but as soon as they made the pick and goalies started to fall, initially I thought it was masterful to start making other teams follow suit and then snatch the talent that fell because of that, but they ended up with whoever they wanted anyway that might've been there anyway.
Worth a shot at him imo.

Damn, we should have been all over that guy and could have drafted another player today. Oh well.

I would of been fine with somebody else, later. There was still 1st round talent on the board. Hopefully he develops into #1 Goalie.

When you have a bunch of second round picks, I’m more than fine with a selection like this.
Go Hawks.
Go Hawks.

Its not really using one of 2nd's that is issue its the selection spot
#35 they passed up alot of talent
They clearly wanted Gajan and jumped on him because of goalie run that appears to have happened. Still time will tell but there were some real good players they passed on for him
We all know that.. We were all just having some fun since it was some "16 dude" who sliced through his defense and scored.
