What about hartsy ending up with weber or suter or both?

I wouldn’t mind if the current ASG got burn at the end of the weekend. Ok, that’s not fair. I don’t like the centered number above the crest. Really, really don’t like it.
I have my own draft I am consuming right now

That sounds good. I need a draft.

I like how on the Sports Talk show that was on before the draft coverage here, Jason Brough from the ProHockeyTalk site picked Shea Weber as his MVP for the first half. The other guy went with Malkin, but I liked how he gave props to Shea.
I saw that but was only half paying attention until I heard Shea’s name. Were they selecting from anyone they wanted league wide, or from ASG attendees (or did they say)? ‘Cause Weber’s great and all, but Pekka is our MVP, hands down.
Yawn. Sup guys

bet Weber gets picked before Suter
what do you guys think?

Most likely.

This fall.

Google results say April 2013 was initial completion date, and that now they’re saying fall 2013. I’m sure we won’t get it ‘till that’s completed. Though we should get it for sure after that. It’ll be great…
I think they are ahead of schedule.

Found this:
Two groups have canceled planned conventions at Nashville’s $585 million Music City Center over concerns the project will not be ready for their scheduled meetings.
The American Trucking Association and the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association have dropped their meetings at the site because it may not be completely ready for the dates they had requested.
Andrea Arnold, spokeswoman for the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau, said Friday the two groups signed contracts to use the center in March 2013 – before the construction schedule was set with a completion date of April 30, 2013.
The center’s construction is on schedule, Arnold said.
“It’s disappointing but not devastating,” Butch Spyridon, head of the bureau, told The Tennessean

Odds that Brian Elliott is picked in front of his former home crowd, goes to the stage, then has pig blood dumped on him while everyone points and laughs at him like it’s the last scene of Carrie: 1,000 to 1
I wonder how long that can run commercials and introduction stuff before they start the actual draft
That Carey Price bit from last year always makes me laugh.

is there anyone
who actually hates Pavel? I mean, nobody likes him as an opponent, but does anyone hate him?

I was quite tipsy at the Preds Wine Tasting last year
Bid on and won an All-Star jersey signed by Shea. That thing comes to my knees so I’ve never worn it. Fail.

I dig it
Datsyuk’s a unique talent, definitely the kind of guy you want to see at an All-Star Game. Just check this sick video out:

Unfortunately, I can’t see the Preds ever drafting a guy like that.

There it is, but if the goalies have to be picked by the 10th round - yeah that's fine.

Yes
Alfie said “how about Shea Weber”, and Lundqvist said no, take Giroux!

I liked him until tonight. Watching the replay and his smile afterwards makes me angry. Haha

I think you could've took Giroux later.

And before Weber?

Well, they have to get picked in the next 20 at least :P

It will be interesting to see what happens without a Ken Hitchcock defense in front of him.
hey are holding off on 6 and 20
Because they play for the hottest team in the league right now. Macho Man “yea”

They were probably playing "chicken"
……..by waiting for ONE to pick Webs and then, the next would pick Sutz.
What I wonder is what they’ll do with all the extra jerseys. They had to have one for everyone for each team. They could give me some of them….
that or the draft is actually scripted

do you think that Hartnell ends up on Team ALF?

maybe if they do
it will inspire Weber’s beard to fill out really quickly

poor Suter
has to play on the same team as Kane

I forgot that they have a trade that they can make after the draft. Perhaps some lobbying can land Suter and Weber together.
And Milan Michalek to Alfie
Ottawa vs Toronto even in the picks.

I love it. During the “Go Sens Go” chant, Chara picks the Leafs Phaneuf! And now the “overrated” chants come.
Alfie gets both Sedins.
"We want to keep beating them...to break their pride and break their season...is a huge thing for us." - David Legwand
they say the Sedin's have to play together
but they’re afraid when Sutes and Webs play together

Huh. He’s at 7Mil this year and next, then UFA. I wonder if they’d want someone more long term though.
is that cap or actual salary?

Do you cheer for Weber or Suter though. I’m leaning Weber/Alfie.
"We want to keep beating them...to break their pride and break their season...is a huge thing for us." - David Legwand
Yep, Team Alfie it is, HB + Weber ftw

That's awesome Honey Badger is with Weber. Cool.

You think Weber will be required to tone down his slap-shot just slightly so he doesn't kill anyone during the game?

good luck finding a better pairing for him

Yeah I thought I remembered it being that way haha (makes sense).
I just sensed an opportunity to brag about Weber’s death-shot.

Je parle un peu de Francais. That’s about it. And I probably made errors. Two YEARS in high school. Remember very little.
Ottawa fans need to shut up. Not the time for all the booing. We’d only boo for Perry. #howcouldwenot
Woo Hartnell!
"We want to keep beating them...to break their pride and break their season...is a huge thing for us." - David Legwand
I doubt that Chara would’ve ever picked Weber. If he had then they would’ve just canceled the slap shot competition.
Pominville is going last I still think, it's what I thought before it started.

oh idk how good of cars they are
i just know any company with commercials that have “High school Musical” as a theme or Corey Perry in them, are not worth my time
My family has had Hondas for years. Odyssey, CR-V, Pilot… all three of them have been fantastic
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
Ditto
It’s funny to see all the media blasting the Honda on Twitter. I’m pretty sure 99% of people watching the Draft wouldn’t turn up their nose at a free car.

Just browsing the live-chat thing on NHL.com...
Somewhat entertaining, but this is great:
Dave Lozo: This should be a true fantasy draft. Guys should be drinking beer, sitting around a table, cursing at each other. Someone should pick a guy in the 12th round that’s already taken. That’s a real fantasy draft.
