John Tavares Selected First in the NHL Draft

Posted by Mother Pucker on June 26th, 2009

Five years after being identified as a possible number one pick in the NHL entry draft, the New York Islanders have selected John Tavares first overall. Was there any doubt? I didn’t think so, but kept reading that Hedman was a strong possibility for a #1… Turns out that the most scouted player in the history of the draft (according to Bob McKenzie) got selected first, like he thought he should have. I don’t know how this guy will turn out in the show, but his quote at the start of this show of “I want to be the greatest player ever” instantly turned me off of him.

Good luck with that you clown.
