THE 2016 NHL DRAFT-DAY THREAD

[Tigger]

Thanks WIGWAL.

I really don't know why they don't use Marek on draft coverage. Why wouldn't you go with the guy who's watching junior hockey all year?

 

[Jolly good show chaps]

Cheers guys. Will try the streams and if not listen in via TSN. I've got a very generously sized glass of Lagavulin to see me through.

Instead they've got Sam Constantino (sp?) literally begging teams on air to make trades.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

That was the most insightful John Shannon's ever been.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Marek!

A good Scotch...you're obviously a good man.

Jim Benning learns his lesson.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Haha Benning

Like seriously, was he drunk yesterday?

 

[Kin]

Haha Benning

He sounded so sad about it too.

"Gary says I'm not allowed to comment".

Props to Friedman for that brilliant set-up too. He knew exactly where that was going.

Seriously, why would Benning do that interview?

You have to know that question is coming and that you're going to look like the village idiot.

I also suspect Friedman isn't a dirtbag who would have promised not to ask him that in the pre-interview and then sandbagged him when camera are on.

What do you guys think of this?

He looks really sorry Gary, I think he learned his lesson.

Keith Tkachuk got fat.

Well, if the NHL is the source then that seems pretty legit.

I don't think Columbus would do it but I guess that depends on the prospect.
