He lost in the shootout of the Gold Medal game because Canada didn't score ONE goal. That one bad game was the first one. Hart led the team on the ice. Before taking the first step on the ice he paused and took a deep breath, as if to collect and focus himself. I think he was feeling the pressure and it was evident in his game throughout the tournament. He has little left to prove in the WHL. That is why I willbe keying in on him at the WJ'rs. I want to see if he has learned how to cope with that pressure. We all know of his skill set but this WJHC will test his mental resolve in direct relation of a negative past experience.

For me, that's the key. Seeing a sports psychologist since he was a teen. In fact, I like him so much and am so confident in my appraisal of talent, that I predict he will score 60 goals in the NHL someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i emailed him and he said he doesn't go on hockey forums much anymore...said to say hi to everyone, and that he might resurface when Philly wins the cup!

jammer2 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 The Straw Man and I go WAY back, sad to see him go. We were on the Eagles board slugging it out with the countless trolls on philly.com. I believe his handle was "Birds fan in DC" first, then he switched over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 OK....in my constant attempt to promote the CHL as the great "giver of talent....lol".....I have taken the top 5 on the list in this thread and cross referenced them to the Hocky News Draft Preview....the results for 2017 will obviously not be in here, but you get a real read on which teams prefer to take from which leagues AND how successful they are at it.... 1)Philadelpia....46.2% of draft picks come from the CHL. 2)Tampa Bay....50.3% of draft picks from the CHL 3)Carolina....56.2% from the CHL 4)Winnipeg....45.0% from the CHL 5)Arizona....46.2% from the CHL The bottom 5 as listed by the article in this thread.... 31)San Jose...37.1% from the CHL 30)Pittsburgh....40% from the CHL. 29)Chicago....30.8% fron the CHL... 28)Montreal...48.4% from the CHL 27)Ottawa....32.8% from the CHL Philly and Tampa relied heavily on the CHL for their 2017 picks, so their stats will only go up, proving that Hexy and Stevie Y, former CHL stars in their own right, know indeed, where their bread is buttered. Of course, this is very unscientific, the stats do not take into account the "current regime" running the show in those cities, but in general, it shows that teams that take CHL players, are rewarded and teams that have a distinct pattern of dipping into the CHL tend to have good prospect pools, better than teams that tend to ignore the CHL.

So the last three Cup winners, and one of the other finalists have the fewest CHL players. On the flip side, none of the top five made the playoffs this year. Duly noted.
