  3. A lot of people shat on this pack when it happened. Little did they know how wrong they were.

  5. I remember being pissed off because we still had a (technically primed) Theo at the time. My dumb ass wanted Gilbert Brule.

  7. They should have drafted Kopitar. With him on the team and Halak in net I think we would’ve won a cup.

  8. Crazy part is bob gainey openly admitted that we would have drafted pouliot if we didn’t draft price

  9. Wow. Time flies, kids. There’s a pretty good chance it’ll pass faster than you think.

  11. I still remember waking up to go to school, hearing at Salut Bonjour that we had drafted a young goalie prospect.

    Gino was really happy.

  12. And then proceeded to surround him with almost duck all that could make a seriously competitive team, relying on his generational skill to bail them out constantly

  13. Sad how in all that time they couldn’t manage to put a good team around him after that (Even if you have the best goalie in the world, if your team can’t score goals, you won’t win)
