Duck and cover!Despite being afraid he'd get taken away by the Wild, who were seriously considering it but opted for a defenseman from their own backyard, Habs picked a good West Island kid just like they hoped: Louis Leblanc. He's already got his own "Lou~is!Lou~is!" cheer too! Probably walked out a lot happier than noted Habs fan/supposed to be Sens' pick Nazem Kadri...who got picked by our mortal enemy, the Leafs. Poor kid!
Nelson Muntz moment of the evening
When the Kings snatched away Brayden Schenn, Brian Burke plotzed. No brothers for you!
Give the kid a hug
Nazem Kadri was obviously happy to be picked but looked noticeably hurt he was sporting a blue leaf.
Mumbling mumbler award
Tavares. Speak up, man!
Questionable humans
The Capitals squad appared to refuse to touch the food and drinks provided on their table, leaving us to wonder if they were a) robots, or b) camels.
Noticeably bored
Bruins and Blackhawks appeared to be so bored they were trading desserts.
Fuck you, Bettman
The PHOENIX Coyotes. Yea, we heard you, douchenozzle. Three cheers to the crowd for starting a HA!MIL!TON! chant.
WTF FLYERS?!
Because Danny Briere was feeling lonely in sucking up your cap space, you deal away the only player I like on your team (Luca Sbisa) and Lupul plus some picks for...PRONGER?! I guess there's the defenseman who will be waiting in the weeds to pounce on Ovie, eh Don Cherry? Watch your elbows, kids. Guess the Flyers felt they weren't violent enough.
This was the type of deal I was hoping Bob NOT to make for Vince, as in replace Sbisa with Subban and Pronger for Vince. Thank you, Bob for not doing it.
Crowd thinking Bob was trading
He was actually asking around to switch up picks because he wanted to make sure no one would steal Leblanc. They got particularily interested when he was talking with the Panthers. Hahaha, you guys are the funneh.
Just drafted, already being run out of town
What. The. Fuck. Yea, the young man believes in a good education and has opted to go to Harvard to maybe study economics while continuing his hockey studies. He's only 18, he's only 6'1", he's still growing and/or filling in the frame. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM HIM?! Unhappy they were picking Americans for years, now they finally find a local still available that they wanted and pick him, and the fans complain. Waiting around for the "big splash" that was promised, when in fact nothing happened and frankly no one promised anything other than the rumor mill at various media outlets, and fans huff and puff. On my way to the metro, a group of guys were visibly and vocally grumpy, slurring Leblanc's name, and whining about the lack of a trade for Lecavalier, saying it'll probably happen tomorrow, and how Leblanc will play 5 games and then disappear... Lucky I'm good at restraining myself from jumping people who piss me off.

Kadri looked SO sad as he put that jersey over his head... =( As I was coming back from one of my multiple visits to the Bell Centre today, I saw a guy who had been drafted by the Leafs coming out. As soon as he crossed the street, he took off his jersey. It was kinda amusing considering the amount of guys I saw walking out and keeping their jerseys on.
And anyone b*ching about Leblanc like that is an idiot.
