NHL Entry Draft: Draft Day Open Thread


Seems a little silly to call this a Game Day Thread, so leave it to us to find something even more awkward to call it.

But the fact remains the same: today is one of the most exciting days of the summer for the hardcore hockey fan and we're gonna need an open thread to talk about the draft, the trades and the kids who get picked, especially whatever lucky youngster gets to walk up to the stage and pull on a Bluenote for the first time.

If the real draft goes anything like the SBN Hockey mock draft, there could be some interesting story lines (how the shit did our buddy Dom bring himself to draft a kid with Rangers' bloodlines?)

Any breaking Blues news, whether it be a trade or a pick, will be given its own story on the front page, but this will be your home for all the jokin' and smokin' you can handle.

Let's Go Blues!

Greetings all!

You find the funniest shit when you travel sometimes . . .

On the way to the Rend Lake Resort (which is where I am now, and CHECK IT OUT THERE’S WI-FI!!!!!), I got caught in a traffic jam caused by road construction . . . I saw a car with IL license plates “TY NASH 9”.

I shit you not.

my biggest problem with drafts:

this kind of analysis about picks: Analysis:

“He’s the best two-way defenceman of the bunch of them. He’s got big time upside and is a shooting star in the draft. Scouts call him a poor man’s Nicklas Lidstrom.” – Bob McKenzie about Oliver Ekman-Larsson – D – Leksand

So fucking dumb. He’s from Sweden … hey so is Nick Lidstrom. So he reminds me of him. Poor man’s Nick Lidstrom? The fuck does that mean? Why not say he reminds you of, if he does, Shea Weber or Duncan Kieth. It’s just like all of those who compared Pronger to Hedman since they are the same height. Well that’s fucking great, but Pronger is a physical asshole while Hedman plays more skill oriented.

Not completely of the board, since our resident scout had him as a potential pick.

by Novacain on Jun 26, 2009 8:34 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

from the resident scout
Rundblad at 17th overall would be something of an “off-the-board” pick, as the consensus on him is that he’s a late first-rounder in the 20-25 range. He also doesn’t fit the profile of recent Blues’ draftees, as they have not taken a Swedish blueliner in the first round post-2003.

by averagejoe on Jun 26, 2009 8:35 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

The Hockey news draft preview..

Had him listed as the 10th best player, here is their write up on him…

“The hype over Swedish countryman Vctor Hedman as left Runblad in the shadows but those who have watched him play this season think Rundblad’s intelligence and offensive instincts will serve him very well at the NHL level. Rundblad has very good puck skills and speed, and thinks the game on a very high level. ‘He sees the ice well both offensively and defensively and he moves the puck well,’ a scout said. ’He’s more offensive than Hedman and he’ll probably put up more points, but he’s not as good a skater as Hedman.’ Runblad impressed scouts both at the WJC and in the Swedish league where he played a full-time role with Skelleftea. He’s not NHL ready yet, but will certainly be a mainstay on an NHL blueline once he gets there. ’He’s an intelligent puck moving defenseman who will play in the NHL for a long time,’ a scout said. ‘He has poise beyond his years.’”

I’d agree with you, but I’d also point out that Davidson hasn’t missed on a first round pick in a long while (assuming Eller is as good as it appears he will be, and Cole becomes a productive player). I’m of the mindset of giving him the benefit of the doubt.

best player available. dmen are like starting pitching in baseball — you can never have enough. jarmo and the crew obviously think this guy is going to be a stud (more mike green than the other guy) so they went with him. just because the team needs a scoring forward NOW, doesnt mean they will in three years. its all about filling the pipeline with the BEST players.

Keystone Lake Zamboni falls through thin ice


A Zamboni took a dip in North America's largest groomed skating pond at Keystone Resort tonight.
A driver was grooming the lake at about 6:15 p.m., when the ice cracked and the 7,000-pound machine began to sink at about 6:15 p.m. As a precaution, skaters were cleared from another area of the 5-acre pond, resort spokesman Ryan Whaley said. The driver was not injured.
There was no word immediately on how soon the rink might re-open, but staff will examine the ice and remove the Zamboni Wednesday, Whaley said.
"They'll take it out and we'll see how it is," Whaley said of the machine and the safety of the ice around the crater.
With a lake that large, other areas could reopen immediately, he said.

Once it dries out, the machine is likely salvageable, he said.
Kenneth Waesche snapped a photo of the sunken ice machine when he stopped by Lakeside Village for a pickup game of hockey. His wife planned to do some skating.
Waesche said that the "thin ice" sign in the foreground of the photo was some distance away from where the Zamboni went in.
The lake is typically open from Dec. 18 to March. 28 depending on the weather, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
