Dobson playing right now, good stream here: http://www.hockeydabeast413.xyz/memorialcup.html

Sportsnet announcers heaping quite a bit of praise on him. Calling him the best player in all of junior hockey and one of them saying he thinks he'll end up being the best defenseman to come out of the '18 draft. Probably not true because Dahlin, but still nice to hear. He's a stud.

Always amazing that as good as d1 and major jr players are the games look slow compared to the NHL on TV. That 18 draft could be an absolute hr fornthe isles with Dobson wilde and wahlstrom

Holy Hell

Hell of a sequence for Dobson, both videos were the same shift.

Coughs up a bouncing puck at the offensive blueline, hustles back, strips the forward and snaps a tape-to-tape stretch pass going the other way for a scoring chance

Ted Nolan was happy, and not just because he was back in the NHL after a nine-year absence.

On June 8, 2006, the Islanders hired Nolan as head coach after he led Moncton of the QMJHL to the Memorial Cup title game. Later that month, via the 2006 NHL Draft, Nolan was hoping to be reunited with Brad Marchand, his fiery forward in Moncton. As a 17-year-old, Marchand had been fourth in scoring for the Wildcats (29-37—66).

The band was getting back together on Long Island. Moncton assistants Danny Flynn and Dan Lacroix were joining their boss in Uniondale. They hoped to make sweet music with Marchand, whom Nolan endorsed to his new amateur scouting staff.

Nolan’s happiness was short-lived. On June 24, 2006, the Islanders traded their third-round pick to the Bruins for fourth- and fifth-rounders. The Bruins drafted Marchand in the third round. Not only did Nolan lose out on his former player, he watched his employer gift-wrap the left wing to the Bruins.

The Islanders drafted James DeLory and Shane Sims with the Bruins’ former picks. DeLory never played in the NHL. Sims appeared in one game.

I don't think we can even blame Snow for that debacle. Wasn't Neil Smith the GM for that draft? And wasn't Wang inserting himself into the decision-making process? Talk about a fiasco of a trade....
