Here's a stat for you.. in this years draft .. Fewer than 30 of 224 picks were under 6-foot

The NHL network guys were saying about that stat the few times I put the draft on to see who we'd picked up. I even heard them say that the Devils had drafted a 6' 8 netminder.. We are starting to draft NBA sized players now.

If the trend for bigger players continues, does it down the road lead to debates about going to Olympic size ice pads as there's going to be no room on the current NHL pads.

Take me home, country road
to the place where I belong
to Alberta, to see the Oilers
take me home, country road
