I was mad because not being one to really follow prospects I bought into the hype he was the better player and thought Columbus gifted him to the Oilers.
I was cursing Columbus and was sure Vancouver was going to make it worse and take Tkachuk who I wanted the Flames to take so bad after seeing him in the Memorial Cup and then live at the Prospects Game in Vancouver along with Dube who I didn't even realize played in it until I was looking at photos of it on Facebook years later.
When Vancouver didn't take him I was pretty pumped and wasn't so mad anymore because I realized there was a good chance the Oilers would ruin PoolParty.
