NHL Draft

Schmidty · 07-29-2005, 03:57 PM

Is it being televised tomorrow? If not, I hope the NHL does an MBL-like online telecast.

I'm actually interested this season because the Wings have a decent pick and I know most of the players because of EHM.

henry296 · 07-29-2005, 04:04 PM

I know that FoxSports Pittsburgh is covering the first hour. With them getting Crosby, that isn't surprising.

Awesome! I have the DirecTV sportspack, so I'll be recording it.

Thanks man.

NHL.com says they will be streaming it live except in Canada. How does that work?

CBC doesn't appear to be carrying it, so I guess I'll just have to try NHL.com (or I could drive over to Schmidty's

)

Dude, you're totally welcome. I've got the steaks and beer ready to go.

TSN is showing it

RPI-Fan · 07-29-2005, 07:12 PM

MSG is carrying it from 12pm-3pm for anyone in the metro area (I'm assuming they'll be using the TSN feed).

Looks more and more like MSG is turning into a hockey-first network, which is great to see -- hopefully they keep it up as the season nears!

CHEMICAL SOLDIER · 07-30-2005, 12:23 AM

ESPN wont be covering it?

Whats odd is MSG will carry the Sabres as well this season (our local sports network folded after the lockout).

chrisj · 07-30-2005, 04:20 AM

So, who does everyone think will go first overall?

Will they black out the Sabres games to people in the NY/NJ area, and Rangers games to people in the Buffalo area?

It's not like MSG is going to have anything better to show anyway. They lose the Mets after this season, and MLS is MLS.

WrongWay · 07-30-2005, 08:09 AM

Does anyone know if Altitude will be carrying it? I know they showed the lottery live.

WrongWay · 07-30-2005, 08:53 AM

SWEET! With the Center Ice package, the Sabres were always blacked out (something to do with network obligations rather than league rules). Now, I'll get to see them all the time! (Not that I'm a Sabres fan, but when they play the Isles, or one of the Western teams that I like, it'll be good to watch).

HomerJSimpson · 07-30-2005, 11:03 AM

BTW, Comcast sports is carring the draft. Just as a heads up.

Honolulu_Blue · 07-30-2005, 11:04 AM

Well, I am stuck in the office all day today. Luckily I have a nice internet connection and will be enjoying NHL.com's webcast throughout. Worse fates, I reckon...

Honolulu_Blue · 07-30-2005, 11:18 AM

Wow. Bob McKenzie just said, and I quote, "[Crosby] has a very strong lower unit."

Honolulu_Blue · 07-30-2005, 11:42 AM

The Canadiens appear to make the first "reach" of the draft, taking goalie Carey Price. The NHL.com guys are ripping them something fierce.

Schmidty · 07-30-2005, 11:47 AM

Yeah, TSN ripped them about it too.

As an aside, TSN really needs to watch the NFL draft and take some notes. This is the most boring presentation I've ever seen.

Yeah. You can't blame them too much. They didn't have much time to prepare for this. The date, how it was going to be run, all of that, was a moving target until just a few weeks prior to the draft. Also you just don't have the coverage (i.e., film) of junior/college/European hockey players that you do for college football players.

HomerJSimpson · 07-30-2005, 11:53 AM

Hmmm, Atlanta trade for 12, 49, and 207 pick. Cool. Depth is always good.

Honolulu_Blue · 07-30-2005, 11:59 AM

Did the guy just say that Ottawa was the first "Canadian" team to make a pick in this draft? Did Quebec finally secede?

HomerJSimpson · 07-30-2005, 12:12 PM

Atlanta picks up another number 2 pick. Really looking at depth.

Honolulu_Blue · 07-30-2005, 12:28 PM

RPI-Fan. Thoughts on O'Mara for the Isles?

Schmidty · 07-30-2005, 12:56 PM

Fricking MSG totally skipped over the Wings pick to do an interview with the stupid Islander's pick.

Schmidty · 07-30-2005, 01:00 PM

A little, scary glimpse into the personal like of the Wings newest pick, Jakub Kindl? :

TazFTW · 07-30-2005, 01:14 PM

How much time is there between picks?

TazFTW · 07-30-2005, 01:16 PM

Also why do they still do the jersey showing off when the player is not even there?

TazFTW · 07-30-2005, 01:31 PM

dola Carolina trades Jeff O'neill to the Leafs.

Could've been worse... I guess the only guys I might look at ahead of him are Parent and McArdle.

For the first time, we may have out-drafted the Devils -- I'm sure NJ would have taken O'Marra had he fallen to them.

Honolulu_Blue · 07-30-2005, 01:32 PM

A nice trade for Toronto and no real surpise. It will be interesting to see what they pay him. I think he'll do well in Toronto.

Honolulu_Blue · 07-30-2005, 01:37 PM

Wow. I am already a fan of this Vladimir Mihalik guy.

Honolulu_Blue · 07-30-2005, 02:08 PM

The Wings' second pick is Justin Abdelkader. Apparently he's committed to play at Michigan State next year. Hrmm...

Sooooo....how's that basketball team doing over in Ann Arbor?

I know, I shouldn't mention basketball in a hockey thread, but hey - I'm a basketball fan and player first. Everything else is second-best to me.

Schmidty · 07-30-2005, 04:21 PM

Dola.

I just looked up the second of Detroit's 5th round picks, Johan Ryno, and this dude is HUGE. 6'5" and over 200 pounds. Left Wing. He played in Sweden last year and had 38 points (20 goals) in 29 games.

Could this be another hidden-gem for the Wings?

Hope so. We've had a Swede-heavy draft, but we have Euro scout extrordinare over there, Hakan Andersson, and have had luck uncovering some gems in the recent future (Homstrom, Zetterberg, Kronwall). I love his size. While I have no idea if he plays a physical brand of hockey (as a Swede it's probably unlikely, though there are some exceptions, Ulf Samuelsson for example), but I love the idea of a having a physical power forward named "Ryno".

LOL...ya, 1/1 so far

The Canes would of had to qualify him at 2.8 million, so its a great deal for us...

DeToxRox · 07-30-2005, 04:56 PM

Man, Abedlkader was Mr. Hockey in 2004 (my senior year) for Mona Shores HS in Muskegon.

I saw him play at a few camps, and in the D2 finals vs Trenton, he is a man among boys. Even in the USHL he looked phenominal.

I am very happy with that pick.
