Not often discussed NHL Disappointment

Washington has had a few (Sorry Brian) Greg Joly for one...

Bought an assorted box of 25 packages from Fleer, ITG and UD. Inside one of the 1992 packages was this auto. Would have been the best Junior auto you could have pulled. I had to check his numbers to refresh my memory, but they were outstanding:

PAT PEAKE

1990-91 Detroit Compuware Ambassadors OHL 63 39 51 90 54 -- -- -- -- --

Ewen, that's just scary to think draft picks in ANY round were used on some of these guys.

My Kings have grabbed a few winners with high picks, guys like Jamie Storr and Aki-Petteri Berg.

So right Barrie

I remember thinking that the Kings had the next Rogie Vachon in Jamie Storr . What a mistake that was.

Thanks alot for dreading this tidbit of info up... I'd almost forgotten that!

Anyways, Pat Peake the supposed next incarnation of Steve Yzerman.... How'd he make out?

Brian

Oh yea just for that.. How's about Scott Scissons.. LOL!

Pat Peake is Don Cherry's poster boy for no touch icing. Crashed into the boards, shattered both of his heels, and never came back in any significant manner, if he came back at all.

Worst has to be the overall #1 pick by the North Stars, Brian Lawton. He's now a sports agent and doing way better in that than in his hockey career.

Your right Trish. One heel was broken in 14 places. Hard to come back after that.
