He said in the late rounds, not the first round.

RIP David Fischer.

yup, ostie de ligue de clown :

" The ambulance that is required to be on duty at all KHL games had already left, as there were only five minutes left in the game, and the defibrillator in the arena was non-functional.[27] "

Now we can say alot of things about Dr. Mulder.

But he's done some excellent job faced with serious injuries over the years.

Wasn't there an NHL team, in the late rounds, that drafted a dead guy ?
- Xizord

A TALE OF TWO STEFAN NILSSONS
In the 12th round of the 1988 NHL entry draft, the Vancouver Canucks drafted 20-year-old Swedish forward Stefan Nilsson. This came as a surprise to the Calgary Flames because earlier that day — in the seventh round of the 1988 NHL entry draft — they also had drafted 20-year-old Swedish forward Stefan Nilsson.

When the Flames demanded an explanation from the league, they were informed that there were actually two 20-year-old Swedish forward Stefan Nilssons in that year’s draft. The Flames, according to the possibly apocryphal story that has made the rounds ever since, had accidentally picked the wrong one. They wanted this guy.

(In an alternate version of this story that crops up on hockey forums from time to time, the Nilsson drafted by the Flames actually turns out to be dead. Given that he was still posting stats in various leagues years later, that seems to be an urban legend.)

In the end, the confusion didn’t matter much, because neither player made it to the NHL. But it did have a curious epilogue: A full 12 years later, in the late rounds of the 2000 NHL expansion draft, the Minnesota Wild selected … 32-year-old Swedish forward Stefan Nilsson.

(It was the Canucks one. We think.)

TARO TSUJIMOTO
One thing you can say about Taro Tsujimoto: He’s no Stefan Nilsson.

No, the Buffalo Sabres’ 11th-round pick from the 1974 entry draft has never been accused of being two people at once. That’s because he was zero people. He didn’t exist.

That minor detail didn’t stop notoriously crusty Sabres GM Punch Imlach from drafting him with the 183rd overall pick. But this was no Bridgman-level screw up. Imlach simply got bored with a draft that seemed like it might never end (the rules allowed the picks to continue until all teams had passed), and he decided to have a little fun.

Imlach announced the pick, and it was dutifully recorded in the official record book. Tsujimoto also appeared in the league’s various media guides that year. Reporters from around the league, intrigued with the idea of a Japanese import having a chance at a roster spot, were reassured by Imlach that Tsujimoto would be arriving soon.

Imlach let the joke carry on for months before finally revealing the deception before training camp. The pick has since been stricken from the official record, but the legend of Taro Tsujimoto lives on. He even has his own hockey card.

He's a traumatologist not and an orthopedic surgeon. If you get hit by a bus you want him, if you have knee problems not so much.

Also would not recommend him if you want to use how to sync your Ipod with your itunes

Listen man, I just think they suck at detecting and treating knee injuries. I don't care who is responsible, they need to get their poop together.

Yes! Of course! That was brutal. Collapsed lung too. Scary.

Mulder would have been in his early 80's back then.
