What part of draft position does not equate to future success do people not understand? or is it just easier to simplify things?

Does the average red wings fan look back on the drafting of Joe Murphy with any sentimentality? Or how about the senators with any of their first overall picks? Did that really work out? Honestly we should be able to agree that the draft is generally a crap shoot. I agree with the bullets in the chamber theory, but in the end position doesn't always mean that much.

I hope that the flames win any game they play. I have a hard enough time dealing with thinking about cheering for the canucks or oilers winning against a team the flames are battling for a playoff position against.

Anyway, go flames go. I hope they win as much as they can and don't give any perception of giving up.

I think we are going to see what the coaches and the veterans in the room are made of. It's not on Iggy anymore, it's on what we have left in and around the dressing room.
