Well I’m sure a majority of you will not read this, but I am going to write about it anyways. Tonight at 7pm is the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. Many of you regular readers know that A) I am a hockey fan and B) I am an Islanders fan. The Islanders have 3 choices tonight. John Tavares, Victor Hedman and Matt Duchene.
I, like many many other Islander fans want Tavares. Unfortunately for us, Mr. Snow refuses to let us know who he is going to pick. Tavares overall is rated #1, Hedman #2 and Duchene #3. Everyone thinks it is going to be one of those 3….well most likely Tavares or Duchene.
Let me leave you all with this quote from Islanders Point Blank:
Duchene who had 50 points as a 17-year old, over Tavares – who had 72 goals as a 16-year old.
For all you non-hockey fans, points equals to goals and assists. Nuff said.
Well, I am headed to the Islanders Draft Party at the Coliseum to watch them with 22,000 others hopefully chose #91, John Tavares. If not, don’t be surprised if you read in the news tomorrow that the Nassau Coliseum was burnt to the ground.
You can watch the draft tonight at 7pm on Versus.
