The Darkside Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 So who wins the Crosbey sweepsteaks? with out being biased , of course i want Toronto , being a Maple Leafs fan since i said my first "EH!" ,but i think that the nhl will get there wish and he will go to the Rangers. Any thoughts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 No doubt in my mind it will be the Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegFuJohnson Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 The Rangers are the obvious choice... but I don't know if its certainly the right one. It seems the NHL got a boost when Gretzky went to LA. Later, he went to the Rangers, and he retired after missing the playoffs 2 of 3 years. Jagr went to the Rangers, and I didn't see any boost. Is it better if he's in a big market? Or better if he's in the playoffs? Let him go to New Jersey. Let's go Devils! It'll really be interesting if he ends up with the Rangers. Because no one would believe that it was a legit lottery. They've got less than a 7% chance at the pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegFuJohnson Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 They sure are dragging this out, aren't they? They announced picks 30-21, now they are taking a break... Toronto loses as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegFuJohnson Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 The winner is NOT... Philly, Detroit, Nashville, Pheonix, or THE NEW YORK RANGERS! Sweetness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Darkside Posted July 23, 2005 Author Share Posted July 23, 2005 Congrats to all the penguin fans out there, the thought of seeing mario and crosbey playing together is awesome, in the sense of marketing for the nhl this was one scenaro that i never really thought of but the best player in the league for the last 15 years showing the "next one" the ropes, awesome.

Nope, not Montreal... 4th pick goes to Minnesota 3rd pick goes to Carolina final two... Pittsburgh or Anaheim... 891087[/snapback] THANK GOD IT DIDN'T GO TO ANAHEIM!!!!! As much as I can't stand the Penguins after they outed my North Stars in the Cup Finals, I'm glad that a franchise with a hockey history such as theirs (in terms of overall success, not financial) won the sweepstakes for this kid over a city who won't even recognize his presence unless the sports media holds it in front of their face with a flashing neon sign and a flow chart explaining how this benefits this team. I can't even express how much less love I have for the Mighty Schmucks the the Penguins. At least Pittsburgh realized what they had when they beat my North Stars in 1991-1992. I don't think Anaheim even sold out a playoff game when they beat the Wild in 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
