You know what I want? Well, you probably don't care, but I would like a comparison of the players we drafted. i.e: Andre Kastistsyn - ??? Cory Urquhart - Brian Savage Maxim Lapierre - John Madden Ryan O'Byrne - ??? I saw the 2nd rounders compared elsewhere, but I want to know who Kassy and Burner are like. I really hope AS picked Kassy because he knows he'll be good, and not just because they have the same first name.

Anyone notice that Mike Danton has gone? http://espn.go.com/nhl/draft2003/s/2003/06...21/1571238.html To STL. Hmm... No wonder they traded Tyson Nash... I wouldn't want them both on the same team. 2x as bad as Domi-Tucker. And Danton would learn the wrong tricks of the trade

that's who we drafted. maxim lapierre. http://centralscouting.nhl.com/amplayprofs...ce?OpenDocument http://www.rocket.qc.ca/Autresaison/0203/n...date=news19sept Maybe physical, but Koivu physical, not QUintal physical Looks like he played with Urquhart on the ROckets. I'm not happy with the picks thus far. Not at all. I guess i'll go to sleep now. it is 7:30 in the morning.

They talk a lot about him being a great individual player, with great individual skills. What's he like with a team though? :idea:

Well, LA would have signed him if they hadn't got Stumpel back. But I prefer Stumpel. BTW, a line of Robitaille-Stumpel-Palffy would go down very nice with a bottle of Gatorade. And a hockey game... :clap:

but... but they haven't been bouht out yet... and if they're not...

Serious? well i'll be damned. I take off my hat, montreal. :king: to You can wear my crown. Just don't forget to put it on the hat rack on the way out BTW, Fichaud won't ever play in the NHL again as an NHL goalie. He's not good enough. Am I correct in that assumption?

Do you think he'll stay in Russia one more year, then come over to Montreal with Zhog? Wouldn't that be great!!! well... C"mon #61!!! Now we have someone to compare with Shoe!!!

Trade Hossa

Cory Urquhart Montreal's first 2nd Round pick With the first of their two second-round selections in the draft, the Canadiens picked Cory Urquhart, a 6-foot-2, 195-pound center who had played in Montreal this past season with the QMJHL's Rocket. Urquhart's stock rose considerably, as he was taken 40th overall after entering the draft ranked 73rd by THN and listed as the 32nd North American skater by the CSB. Urquhart, who will turn 19 on Oct. 1, is described as a good skater with solid balance who carries the puck well and protects it with his body. He has very good hands and playmaking abilities, and reads the play and sees the ice very well. Scouts report that he has improved drastically over the past season; in 2001-2002, he notched 36 points (17 goals, 19 assists) in 70 games, while in 2002-2003, he more than doubled that production, registering 78 points (35 goals, 43 assists) in 71 games. "It's the best day of my life," raved Urquhart following his selection by Montreal. "I'm happy for my father, for me, and for my whole family." Attending the draft in Nashville with his parents, grandparents, and other members of his immediate family, Urquhart knows that though his path to the NHL has just taken a turn for the better, there remains much road ahead of him. "I need to continue improving with every game," he conceded. A self-professed goal-scorer, Urquhart became the fifth Rocket player in history selected at the NHL Draft, and the second by the Canadiens. Montreal picked Michael Lambert, Urquhart's former teammate, last year in Toronto. ..................................... http://centralscouting.nhl.com/amplayprofs...80?OpenDocument http://www.whalers.org/subways/players/player_19.html http://dans.topcities.com/UrquhartRoad.htm 6'2, 195 pounds. PPGmer. Not the grittiest, but then again, QMJHL is known for its scorers... [Edited on 22-6-03 by Habs77]

0 SPOTS TO GO!!! AND O'SULLIVAN IS STILL AVAILABLE!!! Not that I want him or anything. Any ideas who/what we want? [Edited on 2003/6/21 by TheAussiePosse]

Don't know why he'd talk to Davey about #27. Davey has #25 and #26... :lol: But seriously folks... Put on your game face Not Not :guru: But If you can call that a face...

:lol: LA calls a time out. :lol: C'mon 2nd rounder, J'MON!

&^%$! Now we can't get Bernier either. :mad: :mad: :mad: Oh well. It's just early, that's all. BTW, not sure if anyone's seen this site: http://sportsjunkies.org/GPFHL/Draft.html Not much info, but it helps for the later rounds (i.e, 2nd round. C'MON 2ND ROUNDER, J'MON!!!)

BTW, it's 4:30 in the morning over here. I am very tired. So if I get a bit CRANKY, ANGRY OR UPSET :mad: :mad: :mad:, you'll have to forgive me. Anyway, just checking... If the draft started at 1pm, and it's now 2:30... And the drafting started at 1, and it's now at 15... Does that mean we'll only get to see the first round? And how do we find out who is taken in the 2nd round? Puck? Can you help a brutha out ba' continuin' t' post?

Fine, I'll take back the words that he was a just because I want to be sorry for saying it.But if he pulls a Brendl on us... Or if this is AS's idea of a joke, or having the last word... :mad: Also, I wanted Jessimen. He has awesome hands, and he's big. Oh well, c'mon, 2nd rounder, J'MON!!! (to quote Rush Hour 2) [Edited on 2003/6/21 by TheAussiePosse]

WHY GOD? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? I WANTED HUGE SPECIMEN!!! Oh well. I guess another SOFT, INCONSISTENT EUROPEAN RIGHTWING isn't too much of a problem. Czerkawski's replacement? ... C'mon 2nd rounder, C'MON!!!!

This'd be good news. Traverse is in Hamilton, Dykhuis is gone. Czerkawski, well, I was hoping he'd go to Europe and leave us with his contract. But hey, he needs to go anyway, why not now. Anyway, nothing's happened yet. But I believe in Habs77. And I believe in MM. But where is MM? Martin Madden? I miss him too

By the way, you never answere how 'pure' you were. Care to do so? That will make it a lot easier to show you the 'error of [your] ways'

http://espn.go.com/nhl/draft2003/columns/h...ej/1570774.html Man, you know there's something wrong when Chicago's best defencemen drafted is Karl Dykhuis.

HE'S 56!!! TOO OLD!!! TOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOLD!!! GRAY BEARD, WRINKLY SKIN, AND HAS PROBLEMS WITH HIS...ehem... There are kids watching...

I just want to warn Cerebus about Fichaud... HE'S 42!!!! WAY TOO OLD TO BE A GOALIE!!! ESPECIALLY IN THE NHL!!! Just stick with Garon, Michaud and Tarasov, we'll be fine.

It's like talking to a brick wall. I guess when you don't want to admit you're wrong, it's impossible to try and change your mind. Oh well. At least we agree on one thing: :ghg:

In fact, I'm so desperate, I think I will do the lines right now. No players coming in, just deadweights leaving via FA and retirement and Europe.
