NHL Entry Draft: Draft Day Open Thread

Seems a little silly to call this a Game Day Thread, so leave it to us to find something even more awkward to call it.
But the fact remains the same: today is one of the most exciting days of the summer for the hardcore hockey fan and we're gonna need an open thread to talk about the draft, the trades and the kids who get picked, especially whatever lucky youngster gets to walk up to the stage and pull on a Bluenote for the first time.
If the real draft goes anything like the SBN Hockey mock draft, there could be some interesting story lines (how the shit did our buddy Dom bring himself to draft a kid with Rangers' bloodlines?)
Any breaking Blues news, whether it be a trade or a pick, will be given its own story on the front page, but this will be your home for all the jokin' and smokin' you can handle.
Let's Go Blues!

Greetings all!
You find the funniest shit when you travel sometimes . . .
On the way to the Rend Lake Resort (which is where I am now, and CHECK IT OUT THERE’S WI-FI!!!!!), I got caught in a traffic jam caused by road construction . . . I saw a car with IL license plates “TY NASH 9”.
I shit you not.

my biggest problem with drafts:
this kind of analysis about picks: Analysis:
“He’s the best two-way defenceman of the bunch of them. He’s got big time upside and is a shooting star in the draft. Scouts call him a poor man’s Nicklas Lidstrom.” – Bob McKenzie about Oliver Ekman-Larsson – D – Leksand
So fucking dumb. He’s from Sweden … hey so is Nick Lidstrom. So he reminds me of him. Poor man’s Nick Lidstrom? The fuck does that mean? Why not say he reminds you of, if he does, Shea Weber or Duncan Kieth. It’s just like all of those who compared Pronger to Hedman since they are the same height. Well that’s fucking great, but Pronger is a physical asshole while Hedman plays more skill oriented.

Yeah
Gotta stick with my club. I started when Tony Yeboah was there when I was like 8.
I’ll have my Jermaine Beckford jersey when I get the funds. It’s been a lot harder since they’re terrible and I’m American.

Come on, join the Toon Army. Haven’t you heard the Mags are the new Leeds?

and not shockingly . . . the Cardinals are trailing 2-0 and are being dominated by a left-handed pitcher. I have NEVER seen this happen before, have you? (nyuk nyuk nyuk . . .)

More shitty analysis ...
Analysis: “You want to talk nasty? You want to talk Milan Lucic? That’s Zach Kassian. He’s been drafted by a team with lots of undersized players. He was an organizational need for the Sabres.” – Pierre McGuire
Ugh.
He’s just short of A MONSTER.

You know what else was an organizational need for the Sabres?

Trivia note
the TV guys, and Mirtle’s twitter, notes that this is the first draft since 1993 where no Americans have been picked in the Top 10 ….

Was Anaheim the first team to announce their pick in French?
Yeah, I know it’s Montreal, and they speak a lot of that language there, but there’s a reason why the Habs got booed a couple years ago for doing that—it’s pretentious.
It's a funny name.
