For decades, Don Cherry has been giving the spotlight treatment to the top five prospects in the NHL Entry Draft. Long before the advent of the internet and to blogs, "Coach's Corner" has been dedicating quality time to introducing the best prospects to the mainstream hockey viewers from sea to shining sea.
During the first period intermission of Game 3 at MSG, we learned the following:
Sam Bennett's favorite NHLer is Jonathon Toews. He loves Luke Bryan.
Aaron Ekblad is a huge Nik Lidstrom fan and digs Jason Aldean.
Sam Reinhart admires Jarome Iginla, and wears #23 because his father Paul wore it in the NHL.
Leon Draisaitl loves AC/DC.
Michael Dal Colle loves "Drops Of Jupiter" by Train and Geno Malkin.
Thanks, Hockey Night In Canada
I'm still leaning towards Buffalo taking Bennett with the second overall pick in the entry draft. Especially since he admires Toews.
