I guess it's the number.....and the size....and the way he plays....but Stankhoven is just a younger, much better Gallagher.

Yikes, after a shift like that. I'd probably skate to the dressing room and bury my head in shame.

Petry did it for his dad.
Turns out it was a hockey play re-enactment of the path taken by a baseball when his dad used to throw the knuckleball.

Some franchise should definitely hire him to negotiate their own contracts.

He did which is why I'm so very confident he knows what to do at the other end of the spectrum.
NTC NMC signing bonuses at the tail end are all in the no fly zone.

I never though he was available to begin with.
Just his post season alone the previous year should have been enough for anyone to see this is a player "You work with" as MSL would say.

If we had drafted Bossy and then taken Savard instead of Wickenheiser a couple of years later we would have won 5 straight instead of 4 and probably one or two more. We'd have 26 or 27 Cups by now.

Sidenote: Wickenheiser was head and shoulders the consensus pick. We absolutely ruined that guy. Claude Ruel didn’t want him and that carried over into the regular season. Never would’ve happened under Bowman. Big strong skilled center, no reason he should’ve failed.
%. Wasn't he a healthy scratch against Savard and the Blackhawks early on which really hurt his confidence?

Yep. It’s like Ruel wanted to prove everyone else wrong.
“Look! We picked the wrong guy! SEE!!!”

Cool article on things here.

Bryan Murray was quoted as saying the Canadiens ruined him as well. It’s a textbook example of what not to do with a player.
NHL Draft memories: Why the Canadiens took Wickenheiser over Savard in 1980
Doug Wickenheiser has long been considered their biggest draft bust, but the real story is the Canadiens had their fair share of blame.

Habs org has been scouring for big bodied top line C for its entire existence - they’ve never been able to internally develop one.
They’ve resorted to buying a Senior league just to get access to one (Le Gros Bill), trading for them Mahovolic, Smith, Damphousse, Turgeon, and numerous failures in trying to address via draft - this has spanned 14-GMs over 100 years and still diddly squat… its simply not on their DNA

We traded for LaRouche right after Bossy draft. Who was similar scoring star in the Q. Like Bossy there were rumours of defense issues.

I'm liking the Flyers' jersey tonight. Very simple and elegant. Even cooler with Fedotov's early white mask
