Honestly, so what if he is? He was a 6th round pick. He's doing well right now. He's elevated his game at a crucial time of the year. I have to think that Hockey Canada is watching what he does in this playoff run very closely, and that he's at the very least on the list of invitees to the summer camp, if not the main one in December.
I'm not saying he's gonna be like these guys, but of the top goalies in the modern game's history (Roy, Brodeur, Belfour, Joseph, Hasek) only one of them was a 1st round pick. Roy was a 3rd, Joseph was undrafted and Hasek and Belfour were taken VERY late. Kiprusoff was 116th overall. Lundqvist was 205th overall.
Wait and see what he does, he's obviously very mentally tough, and that's most of the battle right there.
