Will NHL prospect Sidney Crosby live up to the hype.

I found this humorous because this is the first I have heard of Mr. Crosby. I answered the question "Yes".

Did'nt he play in a band with Stills, Nash, and Young back in the day???? :p

[Jonathan]

Let's put it this way...in order to "live up to the hype," all he has to do is have as successful a career as Mario Lemieux.

That's how much hype there is around him. It's really quite ridiculous.

[sabos_glasses]

Yeah, I'm still waiting for Harold Minor to be the next Jordan and Kyle Brady to be the next Mark Bavaro.

[chuxxter]

Did anyone see Mr. Roenick's take on this? He believes the NHL should just give Crosby to the Rangers, since they are in the largest media outlet and haven't made the playoffs in forever. My question is, why not the Islanders?

[Artpunchehorse]

So this lottery thing they are doing for the draft, is every team involved in this?

Yeah, some teams just have more balls than others. :p

[Artpunchehorse]

But why, wasn't every team 0-0?

That dude will go to either the Rangers, Flyers, or Bruins

No way the NHL lets him go to Nashville, Minny, or Columbus

Question of the day :confused: :confused:

Question of the day :confused: :confused:
They are using the records from the last season they actually played.

They are using the records from the last season they actually played.

I figured, but still that was kinda a long time ago.

Seems like a lifetime. :mad: :mad: :mad:

No, they've based the lottery system on how many playoff apparences you've had in the past three years and how many No. 1 picks you've had in the same time frame.

Did anyone see Mr. Roenick's take on this? He believes the NHL should just give Crosby to the Rangers, since they are in the largest media outlet and haven't made the playoffs in forever. My question is, why not the Islanders?
Two reasons:

a) Long Island isn't Manhattan

b) The Rangers suck. The Islanders don't. The Rangers need the help desperately.

I hate the Rangers.

It looks like the next Mario Lemieux is on his way to Pittsburgh.

yup yup.. could have been nice 10 years ago.. now i dont know

for a second there i thought we had a chance

[eno is god]

and he's really the next gretzky btw

Heh...I bet you did.

I only allowed myself to really believe once the top five hit and we were still in it. Then Bettman opened the No. 3 envelope and it all ended in tears.

Oh well. We can still get a great young defenceman with the No. 3 pick.
