CHICAGO (AP) - May 28, 2010
With just little more than an 8 percent chance of winning the
2007 draft lottery, the Blackhawks were able to leapfrog the team
with the worst record - the Philadelphia Flyers - and win the first
pick.
They chose Patrick Kane, who went to Chicago instead of Philly
and became the rookie of the year. The Flyers landed James van
Riemsdyk with the second pick.
Now both players are in the Stanley Cup finals, facing each
other. Game 1 is Saturday night in Chicago.
