One for the Ages: Alexandre Daigle’s 2003-04 NHL Season

One for the Ages: Alexandre Daigle’s 2003-04 NHL Season

April 30th, 2019 Alexandre Daigle gets an unfair bad rap. "All-time greatest draft bust", "primadonna", "completely lacked effort and motivation". Strong words for any athlete, though maybe at the time that he broke into the NHL they were partially - maybe even mostly - true. But let us give Daigle his due. While he never became the next Jean...
The Worst First Overall Draft Picks in NHL History

The Worst First Overall Draft Picks in NHL History

November 18th, 2014 Since the NHL Entry Draft began in 1963, the first overall pick has been a privilege and an honour to hold. But, with that came enormous pressure and expectations. If your team had the ability to choose from any player in the world not yet in the NHL, you would expect to be able to get a guy who will come in and make a tremendous...

Nail Yakupov: Learning From the Makings of Former 1st Round Nothings

May 3rd, 2014 When it comes to the draft the term bust is thrown around rather easily. Names associated with a bust include former first overall picks Patrik Stefan (1998 - Atlanta), Rick DiPietro (2000 - New York Islanders) and Alexandre Daigle (1993 - Ottawa Senators). There is a lesson to be learned by the Edmonton Oilers and their development...

Power Ranking the No. 1 Overall Picks From 2000-2009

August 16th, 2013 Since the inception of the NHL Entry Draft, every decade has had their share of booms and busts at the No. 1 overall pick. The 80's produced household names such as Mario Lemieux, Mike Modano, Mats Sundin, and Dale Hawerchuk; the "what if's" in Wendell Clark and Gord Kluzak; and finally, the busts in Brian Lawton and Doug...

Philadelphia Flyers: If Only I Could See Them One More Time...

February 10th, 2012 So I got to chatting with my old man today.  Whenever chats like these occur there is usually a great deal of wisdom bestowed upon me.  But this wasn't like any other father-son conversation.  I brought up a simple question: Is there any musician/singer/artist you want to or wished you could have seen? "Well I've seen Count...
A historical review of cheap shots in the NHL

A historical review of cheap shots in the NHL

October 17th, 2011 There is a belief held by some fans of NHL hockey that cheap shots are a major issue in the game today. The truth is the rules have changed drastically since the lockout in 2004 to allow skilled players time and space, and remove a certain degree of physicality from the game. For instance, there is no way Patrick Kane or Ryan...
What Ever Happened to Alexandre Daigle?

What Ever Happened to Alexandre Daigle?

February 11th, 2009 You remember Alexandre Daigle, right? The man drafted by Ottawa first overall in the 1993 draft. The man who received the largest starting salary in league history up until that time (5 years, 12.25 million). The man who was supposed to be the next Mario Lemieux after scoring 247 points in 119 games for Victoriaville of the Quebec Major...
