20 seconds left wth the game winning shot? I DON'T THINK SO, but fine, if it does happen all the time, I will watch the Panthers game today.playing the game for 15+ years....yes it does.

Bottomline: DUMB play by a MEGA bust in one of the WORST drafts ever.

sedin twins are OK i guess
adam hall

Wow, that's gotta be one of the worst draft classes I have ever seen, it's ugly man.
I counted six guys that wouldn't be labeled a bust, that's just amazing and what is more amazing is that their is not one true great player in that class, some good ones like the Sedin twins, Havlat and perhaps Connolly if he can ever stay healthy, Boyton is a pretty decent player as is Tanabe, but that's almost it.VERY ugly.

In fact the best player in that draft might very well have been Henrik Zetterberg - taken in the 7th!
