Laurie Boschman Laurie was the 1st round draft choice of the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1979 and scored 48 points in his rookie season. He skated well between John Anderson and Rocky Saganiuk. But in year two, he was felled with mononucleosis. To add to his woes, he was rushed back too soon after the illness had struck. As such, he skated like a tired hound dog at the end of a long hunt. His situation was further exacerbated when the club's owner, Harold Ballard, suggested that Boschman's Christian beliefs were at the root of his poor play. Laurie welcomed a trade to the Edmonton Oilers and from there he went on to several excellent seasons with the Winnipeg Jets where he had 4 seasons of over 25 goals. He developed a relentlessly determined style of play that brought him plenty of opportunities to scrap and to score points. Over the seven years that followed, he became a mainstay as a solid, two-way performer who consistently put points on the board and covered his own end of the rink with tenacity. Laurie then spent two season with the New Jersey Devils followed by playing the inaugural season with the Ottawa Senators. Laurie stayed strong in his faith during his career and ended up playing over 1,000 NHL games with over 300 goals and over 2,200 penalty minutes – proof that his faith didn’t make him the soft player that Ballard had claimed him to be.

DRAFT DAY 1 SCOUTING HIGHS AND LOWS The Entry Draft kicks off the season each year and provides a key opportunity for teams to augment their rosters. Here’s a look at noteworthy picks. The average hockey fan is intrigued about what goes on at the draft tables of NHL teams on draft day. It’s a day of optimism for all 30 NHL teams, the one day they can honestly say that they feel they have improved their teams with the addition of new young players. That enthusiasm can be dampened some- what a few months later as training camp begins, but draft day is one thatCOPYRIGHTED leaves all NHL teams in great MATERIAL spirits. So, what are the last-minute discussions and arguments that determine if a team ends up with a Mario Lemieux, a Claude Lemieux, or a Jocelyn Lemieux? One was a superstar, one a quality player, and one a journeyman. The 1987 Entry Draft was the fi rst to be hosted by an American city.

Seventh Heaven Can't Wait the Jets-Pred Series Has Been a Dead Heat Statistically. with a Do-Or-Die Game 7 on the Line, Here Are Seven Keys for a Winnipeg Win
Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/seventh-heaven-cant-wait- 482224703.html Seventh heaven can't wait The Jets-Pred series has been a dead heat statistically. With a do-or-die Game 7 on the line, here are seven keys for a Winnipeg win By: Jason Bell and Mike McIntyre NASHVILLE — Most observers figured the playoff matchup of the NHL's top two teams in the regular season would go just pretty much as its transpired — a dead heat. Just three points separated the Central Division rivals through 82 games during the 2017-18 campaign. The Nashville Predators (53-18-11, 117 points) captured the Presidents' Trophy, which is awarded to the league's top regular season team, while the Winnipeg Jets (52-20-10, 114 points) landed just three points back. The squads went head-to-head five times, with the Jets taking a pair, including one in a shootout, and the Preds prevailing three times. In their second-round post-season series, neither team has been able to piece together consecutive victories. The Jets got the early jump, earning a 4-1 triumph on the road at Bridgestone Arena, but Nashville tied the series with a dramatic 5-4 double-overtime win. Winnipeg rallied at home for a wild 7-4 victory in Game 3, only to get bottled up 48 hours later in an expertly executed Nashville game plan and a 2-1 decision for the visitors. Winnipeg exploded for a 6-2 win in Music City in Game 5 but was shut down completely at Bell MTS Place to the tune of 4-0 in Game 6.
