Sportsnet. Worst draft coverage ever.


 So I didn't miss much then.  


 let's see... I believe they asked at least 3 different players if they were done growing yet.

Asked one of the Fins if he's ever met Jarri Kurri, and were shocked when he said no...

Told a player that his single mom is allowed to be really happy because single moms are allowed to celebrate Father's Day...

Suggested that there is no way that a Russian kid would ever want to go back home to play now.... because he learned English.

 

Yep, it was some real high-quality broadcasting.


 It was really quite painful to watch. Got to the point where I just muted it between picks.

Heard a guy say today that Keller, McLeod or McAvoy would be really good gets at #12.

Doesn't anybody else know anything about this draft coming up?


 Keller would have been sweet since he went #7 overall and McLeod went #12 to NJ.  But getting Brown at #11 is great in my opinion but my opinion is all based on what Craig Button had been saying for weeks about Brown.  I thought he would be gone at #9 also to Montreal at the latest.  

He's basically as much as an American can be a hometown boy.  Since he spends his summers in Ottawa because of his Dad and his grandparents live in Ottawa.  

Here in the US we got to watch a combination of NBC and TSN which I thought was great with PierreMcGuire, McKenzie, Button and Dreger.  Kat what the heck where you guys watching?

Great pick to get Brown, figured he'd be gone by 9 to the Habs.

The Sens were rumored to want him and it was nice to see him fall far enough to make the trade possible. Only cost us some 4th line scrub too.

We've been missing that big body down the middle for sure.

Thought they would take Chychrun but Brown could be that big centre they've needed for a while.

Looks like at least one of picks will still be available. NJ will probably take Brown.

Not paying much attention except when a team makes it's pick.

Hope Sens can get Chychrun or Logan Brown. They could use either of them.

And Rogers has us a bunch of guys I don't know doing the coverage. I guess TSN is not allowed to cover the draft.
