I was not following NHL drafts as closely then... Does anyone recall anything wrt pre draft scouting reports on Lindstrom.
They guy was just so good...

Seems like a lot of misses leading up to 53

Datsyuk, Weber, Roenick among 7 elected to Hockey Hall of Fame | NHL.com

The Hall has become so watered down and is now just a Hall of Pretty good. Weber has no individual hardware, no cups, and only First/Second All Star selections and an Olympic gold.

Agreed. Too many people get in at once and it’s watered down absolutely

How the f*** does Weber belong in the Hall of Fame? They're working so hard to make it such an unimportant accomplishment. Like, how do you put this guy's name in the same sentence as Orr, Bourque, Coffey and Lidstrom? It's ridiculous.

Another opportunity to hand out participation ribbons.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Should put Joe Corvo in while they're at it. Multi sport athlete and all that lol.

 

[starling]

Shea Weber is a first ballot Hall of Famer? Incredible.

Calgary again denying a full rebuild.

Astonishing really, Lidstrom... Talk about winning on a draft pick! It likely had lots to do with the issue that at that draft time, most NHL teams did nowhere near the scouting of Euro/Int'l players as they do now. Consider a closer to home example of same where Ottawa benefited greatly, Daniel Alfredsson, drafted 133rd overall in the sixth round of the 1994 NHL Entry Draft. Another Hall of Famer. Rare but not impossible to find a diamond or very late bloomer.

Let the crap shoot begin... How fitting is it that this one is in Vegas?

They don't have their first round pick next draft so not a good timing to rebuild

Logan Thompson for two 3rds

Would you rather have 27 yr old Thompson + kastelic + letourneau

Or Ullmark?

Tough one.

You forgot to include Korpisalo.

Not tough at all, Ullmark and no Korpisalo.

I like Ullmark's longer, more proven resume for this team, without question. And as mentioned, getting out from under Korpisalo was a huge bonus and basically requirement. I know you and some others are confident he will play well, but statistically he hasn't 3 of the last 4 years and had 4 years left.

There were more people protesting the Spezza trade at the parliament than there are at this Stanley Cup parade.

Lol, of course, it's Florida. What would be the popularity of the Panthers if compared against pro and college sports teams down there. Like 50th?

If fairness, I read there was going to be some bad weather conditions, maybe that put people off from going?

Looked like a decent turnout

Looking forward to Ottawa's cup parade one day.

I remember Sens mile being absolutely insane when they clinched a spot in the finals and after the win in game 3.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Looked like a decent turnout

https://x.com/i/web/status/1807517997558567125

Is that a lot?

Looks like a few thousand for sure. Not a lot of room there as shoulder to shoulder, but some of those parade's look like the seas of people go on for many blocks as they drive through. Didn't the Cavs after coming back from 3-1 have over 1 mil estimated at theirs?

I counted 6 fans total

 

[Senscore]

Remember when they all went into hiding two weeks ago?

More like 600 + 6.
