Remembering the Anaheim Mighty Ducks' 2003 Draft

Remembering the Anaheim Mighty Ducks' 2003 Draft

March 16th, 2020 In the Ducks’ 25-year history, there has been no more impactful draft than in 2003, the year they drafted Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry in the first round. In the spirit of looking forward to the future by looking to the past, let’s dig into the details of the Ducks’ 2003 NHL Draft. Runner-Up Mighty Ducks Looking to Reach the...
Revisiting David Poile's Drafts - 2003

Revisiting David Poile's Drafts - 2003

May 2nd, 2019 Recently, I’ve been diving into David Poile’s draft history as general manager of the Nashville Predators. Since he’s been the franchise’s only GM, he’s been at the helm for every draft since 1998. Beginning with that first draft, I’m working forward to the present, with this installment covering the 2003 Draft. For...
Drafting Done Wrong: The Dallas Stars' 2003 Debacle

Drafting Done Wrong: The Dallas Stars' 2003 Debacle

June 10th, 2017 WARNING: This article is grossly unfair to the Dallas Stars. It's unfair because A) drafting 17- and 18-year-olds is a crapshoot, B) hindsight is 20/20 and C) you can plug in any other team name and write virtually the same article. Disclaimer aside, an autopsy of the Stars' performance at the 2003 NHL Entry Draft has value as a...
Why Zach Parise is an Elite Player in the NHL... Again

Why Zach Parise is an Elite Player in the NHL... Again

January 20th, 2015 It's looking like Zach Parise is becoming the superstar he used to be more and more each day. The 30 year old has had an eventful NHL career, now in his 10th season. He's had more ups and downs than a roller coaster throughout, but it appears he may be hitting another peak in the 2014-15 season. A great thing for Minnesota Wild fans, and...
Can Zach Parise Get His Game Back?

Can Zach Parise Get His Game Back?

August 25th, 2014 Let us know how you think Zach Parise will do this year in the comments below. In the ridiculously strong 2003 NHL Entry Draft, Zach Parise was looked at as the steal of the 1st round, chosen 17th overall by the New Jersey Devils. He was projected to be in the Top 10. Coming out of the University of North Dakota, Parise was noticed for...

Fire Up The Flux-Capacitor, Re-Drafting Oilers 2003 Picks

April 9th, 2014 The 2003 NHL Draft held in Nashville is considered to this day the best draft in NHL history. Surely the 1979 draft that produced Rob Ramage 1st overall followed by other names including Mike Gartner, Rick Vaive, Ray Bourque, Mike Ramsey, Brian Propp, Duane Sutter, Michel Goulet and Kevin Lowe all in the first round is a close second,...
Bruins Core Goes Way Back

Bruins Core Goes Way Back

July 15th, 2013 The Boston Bruins made some news over the past couple weeks by locking up two important members of the team via long-term contract extensions: Patrice Bergeron signed for 8-years, $52 million, and Tuukka Rask agreed to an 8-year deal of his own, to the tune of $56 million. These extensions feed into an ongoing conversation about a Bruins...
2013/14 Buffalo Sabres Profiles: Thomas Vanek

2013/14 Buffalo Sabres Profiles: Thomas Vanek

June 5th, 2013 Make no mistake about it – Thomas Vanek is the greatest Austrian-born player in NHL history. Alright, sure, there have only been nine others in league history to come from the Central European country.  And sure, the next name on that list is probably Michael Grabner (would you really argue for Andreas Nodl or Thomas...
Thomas Vanek Evolved

Thomas Vanek Evolved

February 6th, 2013   Step aside Schwarzenegger. Thomas Vanek of the Buffalo Sabres is taking the reigns of conversation topics in Austrian households. His second career five-point night last Wednesday in the Sabres 7-4 win over the Bruins is living proof that Vanek has to be considered a top player in the NHL. And despite the Sabres 6-1...
What Was The Best NHL Draft Year?

What Was The Best NHL Draft Year?

January 16th, 2013 Over the last 30-plus years, the NHL Entry Draft has served as a stage for teams to select some of the best young players available to them. As of late, the 2003 NHL Entry Draft has been hailed for the depth and quality of players that it provided, but August 9, 1979 is still a date that stands unrivaled in NHL history. Not only...
