Just re-visited all the controversy surrounding his draft status, hadn't thought about that in a long time. It was crazy. His Wikipedia page was a good read.

 

Also I like how randomly you got one with his 96 instead of his 10, had that for 2 seasons. Then went back.

Valid point on the 96 - believe it or not, it's tough to find a nice shot of Pavel.

It's funny, could you imagine anything like this ever happening in this day and age?

 

The pick was controversial, as the Canucks had chosen him seemingly a year ahead of his eligible draft season. At the age of 18, he was available to be chosen in the first three rounds of the draft, but in order to be selected any later than that, he would have needed to play in at least two seasons—with a minimum of 11 games per season—for his elite-level Soviet club, the Central Red Army.[24] While most teams believed he was ineligible, the Canucks' head scout at the time, Mike Penny, discovered that Bure had played in additional exhibition and international games to make him an eligible late-round draft choice a year early. Jack Button, the Washington Capitals' director of player personnel, admitted "everybody would have taken him earlier. We assumed he was not eligible... you've got to give the Canucks credit for doing their homework."

And most importantly, his sister-in-law is D.J. Tanner.

Speaking of, she dressed as Ariel on last night's Dancing with the Stars.

 

But who cares, DJ Tanner was always ugly anyway.

 

EDIT: And yes, I watched some of that with my wife. F*CKING SUE ME. They've shown Valerie Bure multiple times, and my wife is so tired of hearing about him and his brother from me.

Lines: 23-19-20, 10-26-81, 29-65-88, 52-16-28. All righty then. Hey, it's been a while since we've had some line fun. #Blackhawks

Brutal. Get Versteeg off the "first" line and put Kane there, or really anyone else, Versteeg has been awful. And if you are going to play Shaw at center, flip him with Handzus. STOP PUTTING HANDZUS BETWEEN 2 OF YOUR TOP 3 WINGERS.

 

3 f***ed up lines there.
