I will try to update as the draft goes on...the first round is the only one being televised tonight so no need to worry about the other rounds for now.

[rockstar]

Just a question, as I have not watched many drafts on TV. The Flames pick 18th. When can that be expected to happen?

I know it may vary depending on player movement/activity, but what's a good ballpark time? 5:30? 6:00?

[JiriHrdina]

It's a 3 hour broadcast so you should figure on something between 6:30-7:00.

Or in other terms - by around the 4th beer.

Thanks Jiri.

Wow. I didn't realize it was three hours. Easily fourth beer.

[Azure]

Thanks for starting this thread Hoot...better this than 6 fatas. :D

[Vulcan]

San Jose has the option of using Toronto's 13th or waiting till next year.

also Toronto is wanting to trade down if they get it.

[oil_sniper]

Calgary trying to trade for rights to negotiate with Smyth. Smyth bought a house in Calgary. All according to Team 1260, Stauffer.

[Azure]

I like Dreger....everything he has broke lately has turned out.

[Azure]

NHL not going to Hamilton anytime soon. According to TSN...

[HOOT]

Thanks its hard to keep up...added that to the list.

[Winsor_Pilates]

how can the first round take 3 hours? that doesn't seem right

anyone know if it's being video streamed online anywhere? I don't have cable

[Azure]

Video is being stream on TSN broadband.

[Winsor_Pilates]

Video is being stream on TSN broadband.
thank you

[FlamingLonghorn]

Video is being stream on TSN broadband.


Can i get this in the states? or do I have to use a proxy?

[HOOT]

LOL Bettman getting booed by the Columbus crowd....niiiice

[Azure]

Bettman is being booed. lol!

[I_H8_Crawford]

LOL I feel bad for Bettman - gets boo'ed everywhere he goes, yet IMO he hasn't been THAT bad.

[Azure]

Can i get this in the states? or do I have to use a proxy?

I think its only for US...

[J pold]

Booing Bettmen...you stay classy C-bus....:bag:

[The Yen Man]

I think the whole draft is 3 hours, the first round should be done within the hour. So I'm thinking we'll see Calgary pick around 5:45 to 6:00pm.

[Azure]

Pretty sure the draft is on Versus in the US...

[Azure]

Looks like Chicago is picking first....

[moon]

I think the whole draft is 3 hours, the first round should be done within the hour. So I'm thinking we'll see Calgary pick around 5:45 to 6:00pm.

It is only the first round tonight. Not the whole draft.

[Flames09]

The Blackhawks pick... Kane.

[Azure]

Kane goes first...

[moon]

First bad pick of the night.

[FlamingLonghorn]

nhl.com is also streaming it for those interested...

[J pold]

Patrik Kane's sister is hot!

[algernon]

Video is being stream on TSN broadband.


Gracias!

[The Yen Man]

It is only the first round tonight. Not the whole draft.

Really? How's that possibly going to last 3 hours then? So there's gonna be huge gaps between each pick then?

[Vulcan]

I think it's being streamed on NHL.com

[greentree]

man kane is a shrimp. good luck with that.

[The Yen Man]

Wow, those Columbus fans are booing everything ha ha.

[Azure]

NHL.com is streaming it to the US only...not Canada.

[Flames09]

Flyers pick .... vanriemsdyk.

[Azure]

On behalf of...blah, blah, blah...geez, get over it.

[Flames09]

WHOA Bettman is tiny......

[moon]

Really? How's that possibly going to last 3 hours then? So there's gonna be huge gaps between each pick then?

They have to give teams time to adjust to who was taken and to possibly make deals between picks. The NFL first round takes like five hours.

Considering that they didn't start until 5:20 and there are 30 picks it really only mean about 5-6 minutes for each pick.

[ricosuave]

LOL holmgren talking about JVR pick - "how long have you had him on your radar?" - (holmgren looks slightly uncomfortable) - "um, long time"

I was pretty sure that a team has only 5 minutes to make a choice...

[MelBridgeman]

wow the #1 pick is a 160 pounds

i dont care what mad skills he has - he isnt playing in the NHL at the weight.

poor draft this year

That was funny..

"Jeez man, we saw your draft list on TSN and thought we should just follow that."

[ShaolinFlame]

congrats to cb fans on the gretzky standing-O
finally a little class

[Azure]

THey cheer Gretzky? Heh.

[FanIn80]

...and Gretzky gets a standing O from Columbus. :D

[metallicat]

Nice standing O.

[J pold]

Turris's mom looks F'd

[the_only_turek_fan]

Good crowd in Columbus tonight.

[Flames09]

Yotes (the Gretzkys) pick ... Kyle Turris (and the arena for once doesn't boo).

[HOOT]

So first three picks are LW, RW, C....can we complete the line with a few D guys and a goalie :)

[the_only_turek_fan]

Turris's mom looks F'd

"Outstanding track and field athlete"

[Flames09]

Whoa... she has bad teeth.

[SaskaBushFire]

I bet L.A. takes Hickie.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Whoa... she has bad teeth.

Yeah the close up look was not good at all.

[Azure]

Doug Mclean is weird. "you make me look bad, I took him in the mock draft!'

[Flames09]

...he has a batman lunch bag... WTF hahahha.

[moon]

Did the US win the WJHC?

The way the TSN guys go on about how Kane dominated it and the way the JOhnsons were outstanding you would have thought that the US cruised to victory.

Kane dominated the weaker teams but against Canada he had one assist and was shut down by the big, physical defensemen of Canada. His team lost to Germany and they needed OT to make the medal round. Doesn't sound like domination to me.

[ricosuave]

Doug Mclean is weird. "you make me look bad, I took him in the mock draft!'

um, yeah doug, thats why you're not actually picking anyone anymore

[J pold]

Come on Jakub!

[Azure]

Oh blah...no trades. This sucks. :D

[Azure]

Geez LA...why not just bring the whole organization up there.

[metallicat]

Lol!

[Flames09]

LA Kings pick Thomas Hickey ... (WHAT)

[Dorkmaster]

WTF Thomas Hickey?

[ricosuave]

WTF was that about john ferguson?

[Azure]

Thomas Hickey? Wow.

[J pold]

Hickey WDF!? Well I will never pick them in a mock draft again

[Homer_J]

Wow... that was off the board. I thought the first 6 or 7 were pretty much a lock. Shows what I know.

[FireEgo]

Hickey.. wow

[HitterD]

wow, Hickey

There goes the CP mock out the window

[I wanna be like Miikka]

Wow, Hickey, I thought Alzner was a lock as the first D drafted

[J pold]

Why not Alzner?

[timbit]

I didn't. Not surprised at all.

[Azure]

He even goes faster than Alzner. Oilers must be excited right now. Their choices just improved.

[NuclearFart]

Interesting with LA picking Hickey, a relatively higher choice. You would have thought they would have moved down and gained something further in the process.

[Machiavelli]

WTF was that about john ferguson?

Sorry to be morbid, but I thought he died. Haven't watched TV all day so when I heard "John Ferguson who isn't here . . . "

[Homer_J]

Another close but no cigar for the Oilers it sounds like. Lowe probably wanted Lombardi to pay for the #4 pick's signing bonus. It can't hurt to ask, right?

[metallicat]

Que the Lowe bashing, he looked confused there.

[JiriHrdina]

Interesting with LA picking Hickey, a relatively higher choice. You would have thought they would have moved down and gained something further in the process.

As mentioned on the broadcast though - at least one other team had Hickey up near the top. So you move down and risk not getting your guy.

[JiriHrdina]

Que the Lowe bashing, he looked confused there.

Considering just today we posted a sticky at the top asking to cool the Oilers bashing this post isn't a bit silly isnt' it?

[Azure]

Que the Lowe bashing, he looked confused there.

No kidding. Wonder why he would want to move 'one' up. Maybe he wants Ovechkin!

[Juventus3]

LOL! Not sure if anyone else just saw the shot TSN had of Lowe talking, but he looked more confused than Dwyane Roloson looking at hockey equipment.

priceless. Man, I love laughing at that team

[Azure]

Looks like the Caps are going through with the pick...

[Azure]

New jersey? Yep...new jersey.

[ShaolinFlame]

apparently someone was a little more confused...

[metallicat]

Considering just today we posted a sticky at the top asking to cool the Oilers bashing this post isn't a bit silly isnt' it?Spoke too soon Jiri.

[Flames09]

..and the Caps pick Alzner.

[Azure]

Alzner goes to the Caps.

[JiriHrdina]

Interesting. Woulda figured on Cherepanov to go along with Ovechkin/Semin - though they are weak on the blueline.

So now do the Oilers go for Cherepanov or Voracek?

[Dorkmaster]

Alzner? Interesting.

[Phanuthier]

Haha McPhee... he should have let Ovechkin pick again.

[Machiavelli]

Good pick.

[Metro Gnome]

Cherepanov for the Oil I think.

[J pold]

Shultz and Alzner Hitmen Tiro

[Phanuthier]

Interesting. Woulda figured on Cherepanov to go along with Ovechkin/Semin - though they are weak on the blueline.

So now do the Oilers go for Cherepanov or Voracek?
I'm actually thinking Ellerby, they'll go for a defenseman.

[jam26]

I think that jersey looks pretty sharp.

[metallicat]

Jeez, Alzner is a solid guy. Outweighs each pick so far by a good 30 pounds it would seem.

[ricosuave]

good looking caps jersey there

[Resolute 14]

That jersey is so awful... stupid vertical striping.

And whew... Alzner doesnt go to Edmonton. I would have hated to have had to hate his guts.

That is like the 5th Hitman to go to Washington though.

[Azure]

Oilers going to take another Russian? Trade their pick?

[Phanuthier]

Oilers going to take another Russian? Trade their pick?
I can't see them trading the pick, Lowe LOVES to make a spash.

[Azure]

I can't figure out how LA couldn't move down 10 spots, add another pick, and still get their guy.

[Azure]

I can't see them trading the pick, Lowe LOVES to make a spash.

Yeah they're picking...

[Phanuthier]

I can't figure out how LA couldn't move down 10 spots, add another pick, and still get their guy.
Edmonton could be looking at Hickey

[HOOT]

What the .... just happened?

[Flames09]

Oilers Pick .... Gagner..

[TheyCallMeBruce]

???????????????????????????????????????????


Your new General Manager?????

[Azure]

???????????????????????????????????????????

What? Columbus got a new GM...former Oiler front office guy.

[jam26]

Wdf??

[Juventus3]

I missed something, who did Lowe just say good luck to?

[JiriHrdina]

Voracek and Cherepanov starting to slip slide...

[JiriHrdina]

I missed something, who did Lowe just say good luck to?

New GM of CBJ who used to be in the Oiler organization.

[J pold]

Poor Guy...

Damn Gagner sister is hot too

[metallicat]

New GM Howson for Columbus guys...

[Dorkmaster]

Voracek is probably sliding due to his poor performance at the NHL combine.

[Flames09]

nm

[Resolute 14]

I missed something, who did Lowe just say good luck to?


Columbus' new GM, an escapee from Edmonton.

[jimmy11]

NM, I get it now

[Phanuthier]

Gagner, Schremp, Nilson, Cogliano... hmm...

[JiriHrdina]

I can't figure out how LA couldn't move down 10 spots, add another pick, and still get their guy.

Because someone else would pick him instead in those 10 picks?

[Phanuthier]

Columbus' new GM, an escapee from Edmonton.
Guess alot of people missed the memo :D

[TheyCallMeBruce]

Ok, that was less confusing now. I thought he was introducing the new Oilers GM

[Azure]

Oilers rebuilding in a hurry...according to TSN. :w00t:

[Juventus3]

He made it sound like he was introducing the new Oilers' GM.

[TheyCallMeBruce]

He made it sound like he was introducing the new Oilers' GM.

No doubt. I didn't think the oilers organization was THAT confusing.

[Azure]

Because someone else would pick him instead in those 10 picks?

Could be...but considering where he was ranked, he could have slide further down.

[STeeLy]

I thought oilers has a new GM too...

[lewdvig]

Sam Gagner is a nice pick. He has one heck of a highlighht reel.

Can't wait to see Dion squash him. :D

[HOOT]

He made it sound like he was introducing the new Oilers' GM.

I thought the same thing...I am with an Oiler fan she is upset that he didn't step down haha she actually got excited he was gone.

edit: now she is sad to realize he is staying for the time being

[metallicat]

Doesn't Dave Gagner know how ridiculous his hair looks? Shave it already.

[Azure]

Sam Gagner is a nice pick. He has one heck of a highlighht reel.

Can't wait to see Dion squash him. :D

One heck of a highlight reel, eh? lmao...

[timbit]

Kevin Lowe...." Sam... gets to play with all the great players already"....WTF?

[jam26]

I fell for it too because he handed the mic off right away and was addressing Edmonton fans at Rexall Place.

[I_H8_Crawford]

Oilers will "for sure" draft at 15 according to K-Lown... :D

[TheyCallMeBruce]

Wow, that was hilariously confusing.

[Machiavelli]

Yes, Lowe. Last year was an aberration. Yes.

[Juventus3]

Kevin Lowe: Last year was something of an apparition.

Apparition: something existing in perception only

[Phanuthier]

Doesn't Dave Gagner know how ridiculous his hair looks? Shave it already.
Fits being a future Edmonton player :w00t:

[Resolute 14]

Kevin Lowe: Last year was something of an apparition.

Apparition: something existing in perception only


I thought of about 50 Oiler jokes relating to that, but the mods would rather we didn't torture the trolls.

Hey, we should trade Lombardi for this pick! The Columbus crowd would love Howson!

[Flames09]

CBJ picks... Voracek.

[Juventus3]

I officially give BJ fans more credit than 5 minutes ago.

[Resolute 14]

I officially give BJ fans more credit than 5 minutes ago.

Blue Jackets fans are great. If they had the Predators, they would have sold out every game last year.

[Slanter]

Doesn't Dave Gagner know how ridiculous his hair looks? Shave it already.

How about Kevin Lowe's massive comb-over? He's getting into Scott Oake territory!

[jam26]

Anyone reading the Jay Onrait's blog? He's being pretty lazy this year!

[JiriHrdina]

Man Cam Neely is still a beast.

[NuclearFart]

Man, I was hopping for some trades or something by this point...no huge surprises yet.

Fart. Hamil was a guy I was hoping might slide down to CGY.

[Phanuthier]

Man Cam Neely is still a beast.
Wow, no kidding.

[lewdvig]

Bah they took our guy!

[Dorkmaster]

Zach Hamill, another sort of interesting pick.

[JiriHrdina]

..and the Bruins pick Hamill (BIG WHAT) ..

Lead the dub in WHL scoring even though he played on the defensive Silvertips.

No what needed. Solid pick.

LOL, no one is touching Esposito

[Kipper3256]

oooo trade maybe??? made by sj?

[Hemi-Cuda]

so if Cherepanov (sp) slips down far enough, does Sutter go for the risk?

[Flames09]

oo trade maybe???

I hope so I'm getting bored.

[Phanuthier]

I guess I just expected Cherepanov to go by now..
Edmonton and Boston are too cheap to bring over the Russian, and I would have taken Voracek.

[moon]

Looks like SJ will move up to 9th.

[Machiavelli]

Who first, Cherepanov or Esposito?

I'm going with the Russian Sensation.

[Phanuthier]

so if Cherepanov (sp) slips down far enough, does Sutter go for the risk?
If he falls to 18, without a doubt, HELL YEAH!

[Flash Walken]

looks like san jose is involved in a trade...

[Vulcan]

Apt that Neely from Maple Ridge picks a kid from down the road in Port Coquitlam.

[Dorkmaster]

Maybe Esposito will fall all the way down to Montreal at this rate.

[Mccree]

Looks like SJ will move up to 9th.

nm

[Flames09]

If he falls to 18, without a doubt, HELL YEAH!

I would do it too ..

[Canada 02]

was the Doug Wilson and Larry Pleau?

[Flames09]

St. Louis trades the 9th pick to SJS for #13, #44 and 3rd round pick in 08'.

[Dorkmaster]

Cherepanov?

[Phanuthier]

St. Louis trades the 9th pick to SJS for #13, #44 and 3rd pick in 08'.
Wow, that is a stiff price to move up 4 spots with a group of great players there.

[Azure]

Toronto loses the 13th pick for sure.

[moon]

I would think that this would be Cherapanov. Can't think that any of the other guys are worth moving up four spots to get.

Edit: Looks I was wrong.

[Flames09]

..and the San Jose Sharks pick Logan Couture.


Still no Cherepanov.

[serge2k]

Still no cherepanov

[lewdvig]

bah they took another one of our guys

[Jing]

Doh....couture is gone.

[Azure]

SJ picks Logan Couture.

[Dorkmaster]

So... who's going to end up with Cherepanov at this rate?

[Azure]

Mclean showing us why he was fired. Duh!

[Phanuthier]

Geez, the whole "this guy is going to be a captain in x years" sure gets throw out too easy.

[Machiavelli]

Let's take predictions. I say Cherepanov goes 13th. Esposito 12th

[Flash Walken]

I really wish someone would shut mclean's yap.

[Flames09]

I'll take Cherepanov @ 14th and Esposito @ 12th.

[Machiavelli]

Who the heck cares how far Jeff Friesen fell? Interesting name to throw out there with "good players."

[Flames09]

Who the heck cares how far Jeff Friesen fell? Interesting name to throw out there with "good players."


haha I was thinking the same thing, he deserved to fall as far as one could.


There goes Ellerby (Panthers).

[Dorkmaster]

Ok Ellerby, not a bad pick at this point.

[serge2k]

Ellerby to florida...

I wonder if carolina takes Cherepanov, if not he might not go for a while.

[ricosuave]

Who the heck cares how far Jeff Friesen fell? Interesting name to throw out there with "good players."

no kidding. some strange company there.

[Azure]

Ellerby to Florida...Esposito keeps falling...

[Phanuthier]

Great pick, Ellerby-Bouwmeester in a few years would be AWSOME.

[JiriHrdina]

Geez, the whole "this guy is going to be a captain in x years" sure gets throw out too easy.

Daniel Tzachuk agrees.

[Maritime Q-Scout]

I'm at my buddy's place watching the draft, we're both cursing that Esposito hasn't been taken yet as we're both worried our teams will take him.

He's a Habs fan for the record.

Another guy here, who knows junior about 1 million times better than I just said word for word "Prediction: by the time he's our age (25) he will be out of hockey all together!"

For the love of God anyone but Angela Esposito

[ricosuave]

im actually getting sick of mcguire

[I_H8_Crawford]

If he makes it to 15, I bet Edmonton will pick Cherepanov

[Flames09]

I really hope Cherepanov falls all the way to the Flames turn (I know it won't happen)...

[serge2k]

Great pick, Ellerby-Bouwmeester in a few years would be AWSOME.in front of vokoun...

yikes.

[Machiavelli]

im actually getting sick of mcguire

That happened for me about a year ago but I actually agree with him about Cherepanov.

[Maritime Q-Scout]

Carolina take Esposito? The biggest downside for Canes fans there is the fact they don't have Radulov on their team.

[I_H8_Crawford]

in front of vokoun...

yikes.
How happy are you that it's not in front of Luongo in Fla??? ;)

[Canada 02]

time for Sutter to consider moving up?

Cherpanov, Sutter, Esposito

[Flames09]

..and the Candy Canes choose SUTTER...


... and Cherepanov falls again.

[Regorium]

Doh...this is madness for CHerepanov to be falling this low.

[Azure]

NOOOOOO...not Sutter.....frick!

[serge2k]

Sutter to carolina.

I bet Esposito goes to montreal.

St Louis probably won't pick Cherepanov.

[Resolute 14]

Darn. I was kinda hoping we could complete the Sutter trifecta and draft them all.

So, if Cherepanov somehow falls to 18, do we take him?

[Dorkmaster]

Sutter. Is 11th too high to be chosen there?

[Jing]

Sutter to the canes.

[Flash Walken]

he looks like daryl

[Blaster86]

Doh...this is madness for CHerepanov to be falling this low.

THIS IS SPARTA!

[serge2k]

How happy are you that it's not in front of Luongo in Fla??? ;)
uhhh...

very.

But that bouwmeester/Ellerby pairing... Both big guys who can skate.

[O.J. Buttafuoco]

I still think if gillies is there at 18 sutter will to be honest pick him. there's no way cherepanov will slide past 13th.

[TheyCallMeBruce]

wouldn't it be completely surprising if Montreal doesn't take Esposito?

[timbit]

Brandon Sutter is such a good kid.

[O.J. Buttafuoco]

les habs select angelo daigle.

[Flames09]

Canadiens DON'T PICK ESPOSITO...

[Machiavelli]

Ooooo . . . no Esposito. There goes my prediction.

[TheyCallMeBruce]

LOL! wow.

[Jing]

Wow, i thought esposito was pencilled in to go to montreal.

[Spezzer]

Habs pick McDonagh

[cannon7]

Wow, they weren't kidding about the draft lists being very different team-by-team after the top 5-10.

[Maritime Q-Scout]

And the biggest Habs fan I know just blew his load over the fact that Esposito was NOT drafted by the Club d'Hockey.

I'm worried . . . c'mon Lowe

[O.J. Buttafuoco]

Jerk Me Atear Angelo!!!

[I wanna be like Miikka]

Wow, I hope sutter is considering moving up a few spots

[timbit]

Calgary will pick Esposito

[TheyCallMeBruce]

Is anyone finding this draft hilarious? I am laughing my ass off.

[Phanuthier]

Geez, you really gotta feel bad for Espo and Cheraponov.

[Flames09]

I want the Flames to move up... BIG TIME.

[Joborule]

Come on Flames, make a move on Cherepanov!

[serge2k]

Colorado is going to get better today.

[I_H8_Crawford]

Trade Aucoin to Edm for their 15 pick... give them a new #1 dman. :D

[lewdvig]

Man imagine what it must feel like to put that jersey on after being drafted by the Canadiens. I'm not even a Habs fan.

[ricosuave]

2 picks away and the greasers have a shot at espo

would be way way cool if sutter somehow traded up to get that russian

[Machiavelli]

Esposito looks like he's about to break down and bawl any time now.

cherepanov and esposito still available increases the chances the flames get petrecki...

No kidding. Feeling real bad for the guy.

[Muta]

Wow... what's that thing on MacLean's face??

[Spezzer]

Esposito looks like Scott Gomez. I'm sure somebody else has said this.

[TheyCallMeBruce]

Yeah, we should make our move now. I'd freak out if Edmonton got their hands on Cherepanov

Maclean is insanely bitter about Zherdeve. If Zherdev ever winds up dead he would be the first guy I would look at.

I really hope St. Louis takes Cherapanov here. I really do not want the Oilers to get him at 15. Hell I hope that Sutter moves up to get him.

Oh please Esposito wanted to go #11 in the Q draft, he shouldn't be crying now :D

[I_H8_Crawford]

Come on Blues... take Cherepanov!!

[metallicat]

This job must be rough on John Davidson, he's looking old.

[lewdvig]

Look at Al, he could still play!

[moon]

How can the Blues not take Cherepanov? They need a guy like him badly.

[Flames09]

I'll shat myself... okay that's disgusting but I really hope the Oilers don't get him.


Blues take ... Eller.

Esposito and Cherepanov fall again.

He looks like George Hamilton.
