NHL Draft Combine

[Kshahdoo]

what if its London bus...shouldnt it be going right

Or Tokyo...

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Well...if he drops at least we know the reason now.

The door(s) is on the right side of the bus in countries that drive on the right side of the road.

If you had seen the door(s) in that picture you would've thought "oh it's going to the right!" but you don't see any door(s) which means they're on the other side so the bus is facing left.

thank God this questions was asked, because when I am on a breakaway and I need to think 5 hole or top shelf, this question surely will help me succeed in that situation now!!

 

[Tryforthekingdom]

I think if you come across a bus that is perfectly symmetrical both front and back, all bets are off on where the doors are located.

 

[CornKicker]

if they cant tell which way the bus is going then they will get crushed by Dustin Byfuglien RIP

the ability to think logically in a high-stress on the spot situation (like an interview with an NHL team) might actually indicate the player's ability in that sort of spot. Analyze the situation, think logically about the best way to proceed and come up with the best option, perform that.

Nah, sounds far-fetched to me.

as I said, hockey is a split second decision sport, you do not have much time to analyze things on the ice..it is a stupid question but every sport has these types of tests - par for the course.

 

[Jussi]

He skipped the events because he just got back from the World Championships a week ago. It's really not that unusual, I think you guys are reading way too much into this.

The Worlds ended two weeks ago, what was he doing in Denmark for a week after them?

 

[King'sPawn]

Sometimes those questions get asked to see how a player thinks. It's not meant as a disqualifier.

As for Hughes, has there been any explanation offered yet as to why he opted out of testing?

What about Dobson five days removed from the Mem Cup too...

Excuses excuses

 

[Rekingsfan17]

Merkley kind of gives me the creeps

Lol......that reminds me of when the Kings were playing the Canucks in the playoffs and a fan was holding up a sign that said "The Ginger Twins are Creepy!".....Ha ha ha

 

[paragon]

He was quite talented, so he got his cup of coffee in the NHL but he wore out his welcome pretty quickly wherever he went. Probably flipping burgers now- and still the least likable member of the staff.

Sort of sounds like Pavel Brendl.

I would guess it's a question to learn more about the conditions where the kid grew up. Was it a poor kid and had to take the bus or was he driven by his parents to school, training?

 

[teravaineSAROS]

what if its London bus...shouldnt it be going right

Yea I've lived in the UK for the most part now so in the back of my head I'm used to both sides of the road

 

[Seb]

One should also consider the possibility that the bus is stopped

 

[VictorLustig]

Sadism. Old men trying to make insecure kids as uncomfortable as possible, bet they love it.

Getting him mentally prepared to ride the bus in the AHL

Seriously though, I don't get this lol

I'm not sure if it's different somewhere else but at least where I live, you always get in from the door on the right side of the bus. So I guess because the door's not in view, it's going left.

I'm not sure about British cars for example, however...

edit: Oh it was in the quote

In any case, it's a very pointless thing. Wish they had proper IQ tests or some such, would probably be far more meaningful.

David Fischer (Montreal draft pick) had an infamously bad combine interview day. He was the laughing stock of the NHL for one day. I read an article that mentioned NHL GMs were referring to him as "the idiot" to each other.

I wonder how Kirk answered? Really no wrong answer for him.

Funny how "the idiot" was still drafted in the 1st round.

Sure is. You're a Hawks fan, right? Didn't Kyle Beach also have some nasty stuff reported about his showing at the combine?

I've suppressed Kyle Beach from my memories lmao

The rumor going 'round after last year was that Gabe Vilardi did not interview well. If so, it certainly didn't hurt his draft stock too badly.
