WE DID IT

 

[Kendo]

Let's effin' GO, boys!

 

[egelband]

Very nice!

 

[yada]

Amazing the rangers finally got a first pick in the draft. I felt the rangers got hosed picking 15th in the 05 draft where they should have been a strong contender for crosby, now hearing lafreniere is supposed to be very good is a nice feeling and i hope he lives up to the billing.

Giddy up.

Lundqvist is somewhere shaking his head thinking "where was all this elite talent when I got barely 2 GPG of support?"

 

[Zibanejbread]

Welcome to NYC. Let's win some cups.

 

[Nickmo82]

I mean, Lundqvist was the main reason we were never in a great position to draft it. He dragged some pretty sorry teams into the playoffs.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

He’s good

 

[Jauffre]

11, 9 Retired..
10 went to Artemi

# 22?

I hope he goes with something a bit more exciting!

So happy he's finally ours.

 

[Lion Hound]

So F’n awesome!

Thinking about years of posting here and how many times rebuilding through the draft was discussed. To have a 1OA and a 2OA in consecutive drafts is surreal.

thank you Jeff Gorton!

 

[eco's bones]

First 1st overall. We all waited a long time for this. We need a Cup soon.

Not quite the same level, but you're definitely still going to get an incredible prospect in a few minutes

 

[UnSandvich]

Could he go for 88 like Kane?
