It's official. The Sidney party can begin. Mario was up on stage with Crosby to give him his first official jersey and trucker hat. He looked to me to have a little stage fright at first with the millions of flash bulbs going off all at once. Mario and Craig Patrick were all smiles.
The Draft in Pittsburgh was simulcast on FOX Sports Net and only covered about the first 15 picks they could in the hour they allotted. After that, they moved on to Women's Beach Volleyball. On any other given day, I wouldn't mind seeing female athletes in speedo bikinis, but today, I want to see the rest of the first round! I went to my computer and luckily enough found the link on the NHL website to allow the streaming video and finish out the first round.Why are you such a duchebag, James Duthie? He interviews the Canucks first rounder "You've been scouted as having a hard shot. Have you had the radar measure the numbers?" Luc Bourdon, a polite QMJHL prospect, ducked the question opting for the diplomatic response. If that wasn't good for Duthie, he has to follow up with this annoying attempt "So which is it 101? 98?". Obviously, he doesn't know Duthie - move on! Does this qualify for journalism in Canada?
For those of you watching on TSN in Canada, you probably saw my uncle carrying the Capitals jersey up like it was a folded flag. I hope they got his good side!
Jeff O'Neill was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs as was announced by the Commissioner Gary Bettman. Jeff wanted to play for his hometown team and now it looks like he's going to get that chance.

Duthie is definitely a dorkus! He's the geeky guy who ALWAYS tries to be funny, but ends up looking like he is trying way too hard. When he doesn't try to act like a wiseass, he can be an adequate host.
I didn't watch the Draft yesterday (with the fair exception of 2004, since I got to be there in person :D, I never really watch the NHL Draft, I just read about it), but Duthie read like a big time dork. You know it's bad when you do not even have to be at the Draft to be embarassed for Crosby AND the Penguins, since you know they *were* going to draft him. And I'm glad they did, because they needed another savior like Le Magnifique, and Crosby *should* be it.
I know I can't be the only one bummed by Brule going to Columbus. I am *very* glad that the Jackets did not get the chance at Cros...but at the same time, why Brule? WHY?! I hate anything that makes C-Bus fans gloat. For every nice Columbus fan I've met, I have read posts from at least two-three BJ fans that make me wanna scream. So, to those who can't stand the Leafs (and I used to be one, until my Ronnie Francis became a Leaf...thanks to that, the fact that my first hockey souvenir ever was a Leafs puck, AND Jeff O'Neill now being a Leaf, I'm now a casual follower of T.O.), I dare you to spend a day locked in a room with 100 Columbus fans...if THAT doesn't change your tune, I do not know what will.
