I ranked every NHL player dog pun name* in this year's "Stanley Pup" competition. You're welcome.
(*Just the names! Not the dogs! All the dogs tied for first because they are so sweet and need homes!)

KIDS: Nic Dowd is from Alabama. Went to Culver Military Academy. Played in the NAHL then USHL. Went to college as a 20 year old freshman. Played four years at St. Cloud. Spent a couple full years in the AHL before being an NHL regular as a depth player.
Now on the ice taking the faceoff in the Western Conference Finals up a goal in the Dzone with Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner on his wings.
Everyone has a different path. And if your path is the long way, be a great teammate and a versatile player. Dowd is widely known as an unreal locker room glue guy. And a great role player.
What an effort to score this goal beating everyone up the ice to seal it for Vegas. This is why I love watching the playoffs. Players who don't normally get the spotlight stepping up in big situations to help teams win.
Hockey rules.

Post-lottery Mock Draft.
Not what I think will happen, but what I would seriously consider if I were in each team’s position. Yes, I would trade 4-5 of the top 16 selections. If they don’t get moved, we’ve got some intriguing picks 👀

The first NHL Draft Board is out - with NHL Prob%, Statistical Comps and more!
Encourage you to read the intro: This is almost completely model-based to set a foundation. Players will end up much higher/lower when viewings/anecdotal evidence is weighted.
