This article should have mentioned Lee Stempniak who was the reason Jessiman was drafted in the first round. Go figure when Stempniak graduated Jessiman was a shadow of his old self. 6’6″ 220 and soft when has that ever been a successful combination.

HOCKEY BY CHRISTMAS !!!

This Jessiman character will get his chance no doubt, as it can only be a matter of days now until Bettman says “game on” and we’re back in business ! In fact, this entire charade has now become so “transparent” that’s it’s almost comical ! Yeah, we get it man … hockey by Christmas, just like the NBA last year ! What is going to be interesting however, is the amount of “real” damage sustained by this charade ? Of course there’s no problem here in Canada and there never will be. But will US Americans return in the “necessary” numbers needed to justify this ruse ? I guess we’ll find out pretty soon, eh ?

“…he was the last player from the first round of the 2003 draft to make his NHL debut, just eight years after being picked by the New York Rangers.”

“Just eight years,” huh? Man, he developed quick.
