Hey everyone! It's draft lottery day!

Shut up, you know you're excited. Yeah, OK, probably not. It may be the only NHL event more boring and poorly produced than the All-Star Game. Of course, that is meant to be an insult to the ASG, but may be more of an insult to the lottery "show."

Not quite sure what else to talk about today. Playoffs start tomorrow. We'll be posting daily game threads for whoever may want to stop by and talk about the games. Be sure to be around later today as we give our final grade on the Wild as a team. Tomorrow, we start up the grades by player. Should be goo, clean American fun. Unless, of course, you don't like American fun. We use less syrup, but we do have moose.

Enjoy your day, all.
