16 players in the 2020 draft have played in the NHL, 13 of them were drafted in the 1st round. McCartney was drafted in the 7th.
Ben McCartney is the fastest 7th rounder to make his NHL debut since Andy Moog in 1980. (technically Dylan Ferguson is the fastest of all time, but he was an emergency call-up and didn't really earn it)
Dylan Ferguson - 5 months
Andy Moog - 6 months
Ben McCartney - 13 months
Ian Laperriere - 21 months
Ondrej Palat - 28 months

When i was around 5 or 6, my Dad got me a shirt with Andy Moog's Bruins mask on the front and I loved it so much that when i outgrew it i had it stitched on the back of an army jacket i wore just about every day until i was in college. I always considered him my favorite goalie and would look for cards of his and even got his Starting Lineup Freeze Frame with Eric Lindros. When I think back, though it was actually quite rare that I would ever see him play as I grew up in the '90's when he was already winding down. I've always liked reading up on him and his stats are pretty impressive but I would love to hear from some folks who really got to see him in his prime. So what do ya Think? How good was the wearer of my favorite mask of all time, Andy Moog?
I’ve heard all the bad, believe me lol. I’m about to unlock this guy and Halloween Hex has been a straight bum for me. Does anyone have any success stories then wanna share using Moog?
Thanks guys.
God, Im so grateful that I removed his worthless ass from the line up. Almost every game he let in cheap goals. I just met someone with him as a goalie, and yep, he's just as useless as he was for me. Was so easy to score. That he's a 89 OVR is a pure joke
For example if I were to start grinding for 2000 goals and played the Kelowna Rockets on repeat would I only get credit for the first time or it would it keep adding towards the objective?
Like the title says I am wondering if it is worth it to finish the last 57 challenges I need to get him or does him being small really make him terrible. I am currently using TOTW Talbot.

I've been looking at a lot of stats and highlights from the Bruins early 90s success and one thing I'm noticing is that Moog looked like a leaky sieve out there and with an overall GAA of 3.13 and a sv% of 8.92 he really seems like a very average goalie. So for those of you who remember those days, was he actually that bad, or do the stats just look bad compared to now?
[Oilumni: Andy Moog ] (http://i.imgur.com/i2fOL9g.jpg)
Andy Moog got kinda screwed as far as history goes, part of a trio of goaltenders that helped the Edmonton Oilers to their dominance in the 80's he is also the least remembered. However he was a part of the Oilers for three of their Stanley Cups (83-84,84-85,86-87) and half of one of the greatest goaltending duos of all time. Andy was by his own admission a terrible practice goaltender and had more than one bad training camp, but he was lights out when he stepped on the ice for a game. A small goaltender who had lightning reflexes and was good on controlling rebounds Andy was picked out by the Oilers in 1980. He was described by Sports Illustrated as “[Short and dumpling-like and he looks like a choirboy] (http://i.imgur.com/CxyT2mI.jpg)”. Moog idolized his father and former NHL goalie Gump Worsley whose picture he had hung up in his locker. He was a passionate guy who despite playing for some great teams was overshadowed for a significant portion of his career.
Born February 18th 1960 in Penticton BC to former Penticton Vees goaltender Don and his wife Shirley. Andy Moog started his WHL career with the Billings Bighorns in 1978 and had a decent year backing up Neil Girard and playing 26 games while posting a 4.13 GAA. The next year he won the starting job and posted a phenomenal .902 SV% (It was a different time goaltending wasn’t what it currently is) and winning 26 of his 46 starts eventually being named to the second all -star team. He was rewarded by being [drafted 132nd overall by the still new Edmonton Oilers] (http://i.imgur.com/rLSwgaA.jpg) in the 1980 draft. The next season Moog moved to the Wichita Wind of the CHL and posted good numbers again, playing a few games in the regular season (winning 3 losing 3) and playing well. Come playoff time the Oilers made a move that must have seemed crazy at the time, they started rookie Andy Moog over Gary Edwards against a strong Canadiens team led by Guy Lafleur. Moog and the Oilers played brilliantly downing the Canadiens 6-3 in the first postseason win by the Oilers ever.Two more consecutive wins 3-1 and 6-2 finished off the Canadiens(First round was best of five at the time). The New York Islanders knocked the Oilers out in 6 next round but another strong performance by Moog made him seem like a likely candidate to start for the Oilers the next year.
Then fate stepped in and slapped Moog in the balls. In the fi
