ATD2025 Draft Thread

[tabness]

Bure, Coffey and a MLD regular made vulture-like circulars mid-ice, awaiting turnovers and rushes against. TV NEVER shows such unabashed waisted effort (except once with Cliff Ronning i recall - a non-ATD pick ever) until they receive a miraculous pass and surges on the counterattack.

I saw this in the building live in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto and Detroit (when i was in Ottawa and Montreal i saw none of the aforementioned play).

"Not really, checkers dont make much money."

- Steve Yzerman
(when asked if he was impressed with the Wings forwards defensive play in the third period in some game way back)

"I'm not here to work hard, but to score goals."

- Petr Klima
(when asked about his work ethic in his own zone)

I’m going to teach way back here, as I didn’t really draft enough of these players before, Philadelphia selects defenseman Sylvio Mantha

 

[BenchBrawl]

Les Canadiens select Daniel Alfredsson, RW.

 

[BenchBrawl]

sorry for the flakiness guys

A bit surprised he's still available, I'll go with Pavel Bure, RW

Bure was great value if you can manage him inside your lineup.

I know I’m up- it’s going to be a while, family stuff for the next couple hours.

 

[VanIslander]

I miss Alfie.

Alfie got a big cheer before the Sweden game in Montreal which was a bit surprising.

Heading to Miami. Gonna watch the game tonight at the Panther practice rink then back to Boston for the championship game. No gf at the moment so taking full advantage…

During Alfredsson's career the Sens were the 2nd team that RDS broadcasted on TV, and I don't recall major rivalry between those Sens and the Habs, so Alfredsson, a bit of a mirror to our own captain of the time, is a natural fit to be well-known and well-liked in Montreal.

The Sens are not well-liked in Montreal. At all. Not at the level of the Bruins or Leafs, but still. Also surprised at the loud ovation Marchand got for scoring but understandable.

The Sens during Alfredsson's time were a different animal. We didn't have any animosity towards the Senators back in the day. At least, that's how I experienced it.
