They never even talked to him before the draft. They wanted someone bigger. So they took JVR who's just now managed to make the NHL and after an excellent start became useless ('course so did half the team)

They took Milan Michalek at 6th overall in the first round- ahead of Phaneuf, Jeff Carter, Dustin Brown, and Brent Seabrook. Michalek was rated as one of the most NHL ready at the top of the draft. I know Phaneuf is overrated, but imagine Carter's goalscoring, Brown's two way grit, or Seabrook on the blue line instead. Oy vey. That's not the worst, IMO... Later in the round they took Steve Bernier 16th overall. In fact, they traded the 22nd, 66th, and 107th picks to move up to that 16 spot. Who did they pass on immediately after that? Parise, Getzlaf, Kesler, Mike Richards, Corey Perry (scum). They could have thrown a dart at those names and the odds were in their favor to randomly wind up with a better player than Bernier. John Hennessy over Patrice Bergeron. Matt Carle over Shea Weber. The saving fact.... Joe Pavelski, 7th round, 205th overall. From "Little Joe" to "Big Pavelski" in one offseason!

I hate to jump off the bandwagon because the Canucks have lost two games in a row... but it's like fuc*ing deja vu right now. Last night's game was just pathetic and they're starting to get frustrated and they do not play well when they're frustrated. They've gotta pull their sh*t together tomorrow night if they want to make it past this series.

By the way, I had to shave my playoff beard today for job interviews coming up... I shave right before game time, and the Sharks are embarrassed. Coincidence? I think not. Red Wings in 7.

By the way I have always despised draft lotteries and find them completely pointless Quote:
Mainly it seems to be the drop-off between the players. Richards, Giroux, Briere, Pronger etc. are all playing their asses off to make up for the loss of Lappy, Gagne and Carter but then beyond that it's like everyone else forgot how to play hockey, and it's pretty disgusting.

The only names I remember from 2003 were Vanek, who is our leading goal scorer, but lazy as hell, and Clark Macarthur, who we just traded this year, and Nathan Paetsch for an even more worthless Raffi Torres. I think that was the year we drafted the 6' 6"Tom Morrow ha ha. Which led me to think about last years draft, in which we took the Tylers, Myers, and Ennis from SJ. Two great picks.
