Well, the NHL draft is tomorrow night and if Twitter doesn’t spoil the whole thing we should be in for a treat.
GMs have been actually earning their pay (I’m looking at you, Paul Holmgren) by exploding the trade market wide open on Friday afternoon (One way to avoid a lockout: make the cap ceiling so damn high that everyone is happy). The draft will be just as it has been the past few years, with TSN making is seem like every player is way better than they actually are (unless your name is Stephen Stamkos) and with every team mysteriously having the name of the player they select on their jersey seconds after they announce the kid’s name.
I am not a psychic, but I can make predictions, keep reading if you want to see some probably scenes from tomorrow night’s NHL draft.
----
Brian Burke: Oh hey there Bryan, what’s up?
Bryan Murray: Oh Um Hi Brian, nothing much.
Brian Burke: Nooothing, hey you know what I just realised? We have the same first name!
Bryan Murray: Oh yeah, except my name is spelled with a ‘Y’ and yours is with an ‘I’
Brian Burke: Well then I guess that’s ‘Y’ you’re such a great dude!
Bryan Murray: hahahaha! You know Brian, you’re a pretty good guy.
Brian Burke: Well thanks, hey, by the way...who are you drafting?
Brian Murray: Well I was going to dra-WAIT A MINUTE! I won’t fall for that again!
Brian Burke: Damn, I’ll get you Bryan! Who the hell spells ‘Brian’ with a ‘Y’ anways!?
Later on...
Brian Burke: With the 25th pick in the 2011 entry draft, the Toronto Maple Leafs are proud to select...whoever the Ottawa Senators are going to take with their next pick.
Bryan Murray: OH COME ON!
----
Gary Bettman: We have a trade to announce.
The crowd gets excited.
Gary Bettman: The Colorado Avalan-
*From the crowd* Bob McKenzie: I tweeted that like, 20 minutes ago.
Gary Bettman: Oh, um...well The Da-
Bob McKenzie: That one too.
Gary Bettman: Jesus! How about...the Anah-
Eklund: Even I tweeted that.
Gary Bettman: F*Beep*ck Twitter.
Eklund: It was an E5!
-----
Peter Chiarelli: So, why are you here again?
Zdeno Chara: Protection.
Peter Chiarelli: I don’t understand.
Zdeno Chara: You insist to bring cup with you everywhere, owners want me to be bodyguard.
Peter Chiarelli looks behind him at the Stanley cup, which has a leash around it.
Peter Chiarelli: That seems fair, what’s with that thing?
Zdeno shifts to the left revealing a stanchion propped up against a wall.
Zdeno Chara: Weapon of choice.
Peter Chiarelli: Ah.
Mike Gillis: Got any Sedins?
Glen Sather: You’re the only one who has Sedins, go fish.
Mike Gillis: Damn.
Jim Rutherford: Hey Glen, got any Staals?
Glen Sather: *Sigh* yeah. 2.
Jim Rutherford: Nice! Hey Pierre, any Staals?
Pierre Gauthier: No, but I’ll give you a Gomez for free! *Looks around* Anyone? Crap. Go fish Jim.
Jim Rutherford: I got Jordan! FISH UPON MY WISH, AND A SET! 4 Staals!
Ray Shero: Wait didn’t I have a Staal? You cheated!
All: F*beep*ck you Ray.
------
Paul Holmgren: So we’re all set, Brian Boucher and Aaron Asham for the first overall pick.
Steve Tambellini: Hmm, I don’t know...and isn’t Asham in Pittsburgh?
Paul Holmgren: You need a goalie, and Boucher is a goalie.
Steve Tambellini: Well, I can’t argue with that logic. I just think the 1st overall pick is worth more than him.
Paul Holmgren: *waves his hand* You WILL trade me the first overall pick.
Steve Tambellini: I WILL TRADE YOU THE FIRST OVERALL PICK.
Paul Holmgren: Eeeexcellent.
Pierre Gauthier: So let me get this straight, you can make a trade...even without your team sustaining a massive injury to your star player, OR because your token French Canadian has started to suck and you need a new one?
Mike Gillis: Yes.
Pierre Gauthier: Well I’ll be!
---------------
Ken Holland: I don’t know, it just happens.
Garth Snow: Just happens you say? Well, it sounds to me like you won’t be needing picks for round 1 through 5.
Ken Holland: No, we’re going to keep them.
Garth Snow: But come onnn I got burnt by Nabokoovvvv, my best player is Matt Moulssoooon. Please? I’ll trade Streit! He’s Swedish...or something.
Ken Holland: Swiss.
Garth Snow: Whatever something French.
Ken Holland: Goodbye Garth.
--------
Pierre Gauthier: Hey man, welcome to the League!
Kevin Cheveldayoff: Oh, thanks Pierre.
Pierre McGuire: I don’t know if you know this, but um...I generally manage the Montreal Canadiens.
Kevin Cheveldayoff: I know, it says so on the sign you’re holding.
Pierre Gauthier: How did that get there? Anyways, I want to shoot a little offer your way, get your feet wet with the big boys.
Kevin Cheveldayoff: Are you trying to push Scott Gomez on me?
Pierre Gauthier: No!
Kevin Cheveldayoff: Because everyone keeps telling me you’re going to do that and I should run away.
Pierre Gauthier: Who said that? Yzerman? He’s a kidder!
Kevin Cheveldayoff: Yzerman was one, Bowman, Niewendyk, Fletcher, Maloney, Armstrong..
Pierre Gauthier: Umm..
Kevin Cheveldayoff: McFee, Sherman, Lombardi, Feaster, Lamouriello, Regier...
Pierre Gauthier: er..
Kevin Cheveldayoff: And Burke.
Pierre Gauthier: Wel...thank you for your time Kevin.
-----
James Duthie: Well this is a surprise! We are getting information that Sidney Crosby will be personally selecting the next pick for the Pittsburgh Penguins! Looks like he’s healing nicely from his massive concussion!
Sidney Crosby: With the next pick, the Pittsbin Pengoons are proud to select, from the Bradnor Sneak Fiends in the Oh Ache Elle, Habana Shabanahabadoo.
James Duthie:....Uh....We’ll be right back.
A comedic take on the Montreal Canadiens. Seriously.

Carey Price-The Most Interesting Man in the NHL
Not much can be said about the soft spoken goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens, but he has led a very, very, very interesting life.
He is not the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, because Jesus Christ isn’t this good at Hockey.
His glove side is a black hole for Hockey pucks.
When cows see him on a horse, they tie themselves up.
Picasso rose from the dead to design him a new mask.
He has never made a routine save.
He wrote the lyrics to the Big Mac jingle.
His post-win poses can be seen from space.
Cabbies pay him for the privilege to drive him around.
The triple low five prevents the universe from exploding
He invented the Knucklepuck.
PK Subban does not have 2 younger brothers, he cloned PK Subban...and then cloned PK Subban’s clone.
He did not kill Osama Bin Laden, because everyone expected him to.
He persuaded Alexei Yemelin to come to North America by sending him a picture of himself with his arms crossed.
He hates Puck Bunnies, but loves Puck Alpacas.
Mark Zuckerberg is still waiting for him to accept his friend request.
He convinced the Penguins to lose their series so that Matt Cooke had no chance of playing another game this season.
He has seen the future and 1967 is still a thing there too.
He knows he is in the Matrix.
He convinced Chris Bosh to go to the Miami Heat, just so everyone would stop caring about Chris Bosh
The Montreal Impact are named after his Johnson.
He putts with a pool cue.
He has never written an autobiography, but he has written several manualbiographies.
He knew about Lando the moment he laid eyes on him.
He owns a time share with Barak Obama, Steve Jobs, and The Dalai Lama...on The Moon.
He can spell Schwarzenegger, but he won’t.
Carey Price: I don’t always fight, but when I do, I prefer Tim Thomas

Not so Habs Laughs-Max Pacioretty edition
If you’ve been following me for the past year and a bit you know that I never stray into the analytical side of things. I like to leave the commentary to the experts and choose to take a comedic approach to the Montreal Canadiens and the NHL as a whole.
I am going to post my thoughts on the Chara/Pacioretty incident and just this once cross over into the more serious side of blogging.
By now you have seen the hit from every angle; I am not going to talk about the hit.
I am going to talk about the result; I am going to talk about the health of Max Pacioretty.
What bothers me about the verdict that the NHL passed on to Chara is simply based on the fact that Max Pacioretty is still in the hospital. He will undergo serious therapy for the coming months, and will most likely never be the same player and person once he has ‘recovered’ from this ordeal. Zdeno Chara will continue on with his life as if nothing happened.
As far as I know Zdeno Chara never apologized for the incident. He stated that the incident was ‘unfortunate’, which is in no way shape or form an apology. I have no relationship with Zdeno Chara, I don’t know what he is like away from a Hockey rink, but I hope to God that he is losing sleep over this situation.
Zdeno Chara put a 23 year old kid who was just breaking into the NHL in the hospital. Whether or not it was done with intent is debatable, but at the end of the day whether or not Max Pacioretty plays another Hockey game is still in question.
I feel terrible for Max Pacioretty. I feel cheated the Zdeno Chara’s actions went unpunished-not because of the intent, but because of the result. Not from a Hockey perspective, but from a personal perspective. I’m not going to get into how the NHL justice system works; I am just stating that as a human being I feel like Zdeno Chara NEEDS to experience consequences for his actions.
I know life isn’t fair, and Zdeno Chara being able to celebrate with his teammates after goals, after winning games, after winning playoff rounds…is simply the height of unfairness.
Did the NHL drop the ball by not giving Chara any kind of punishment? I’ll leave that to the experts, I simply cannot give an objective opinion on the matter.
I know the NHL cannot give suspensions based on the fact that it is ‘the right thing to do’, but Max Pacioretty will never be the same again and it is Zdeno Chara’s fault.
Regardless of intent.
Go Max Pacioretty Go

Tweet Ten other things you didn't know about Hal Gill.
Before we get into things-good vibes for Max Pacioretty.
Holy Crap-Hal Gill is a sniper! Here are some other things you didn't know about him.
10. Frequently uses Scott Gomez as a pillow.
9. Does not know why the team is called the Sabres, but their logo is a Buffalo.
8. His family pressured him to be a basketball player, but stereotypically; he can’t jump.
7. Thinks that P.K. stands for ‘Pretty Kool’
6. Still a firm believer that Zdeno Chara is some kind of mythical creature.
5. Has no idea why God frequently announces updates during games.
4. Used Pierre McGuire as a Q-tip once.
3. The King’s Speech is loosely based off of Hal Gill’s life.
2. Does both voices in the Dagwoods 5 after 5 commercial. True story.
1. Thinks that ‘Titanic’ is a documentary.
