...and I have an extra ticket if anyone is planning on being in Sunrise Florida roughly 2 weeks from now. I had a buddy of mine that was going to join me, but that fell through, and there really aren't a whole lot of hockey fans in South Florida passionate enough to go to an entry draft.
Round 1 begins at 7 pm on June 26th. Rounds 2-7 begin at 10 am the next morning.
If anyone is interested in joining me, respond here or PM me.

That's cool that you are going. Highly unlikely I will be there, but my wife entered me into a contest for a trip down there for the draft.
If I make it, you'll be the guy that looks exactly like Ron Swanson, right?

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.

Don't forget to boo Gary Bettman while you're there
I hate when fans boo him. I get he's not popular, but how would you like it if 20,000 people boo you EVERY time you talked... I feel bad for the guy and am embarrassed for hockey fans when it happens.

He probably gets over it by swimming in the ocean of money that's inside his Scrooge McDuckian vault. I know that's what I'd do.

It's a sports tradition to boo commissioners, not a hockey one. It's not just Bettman either, David Stern, probably the greatest commissioner in sports history, was so used to it by the end of his tenure, he'd just smile.

The best thing about Bettman being boo'd is the way he reacts. His smug little smile and head wiggle saying the cities name followed by "..I love your passion" always cracks me up.
