Looks like I missed a Francis Park above. What I did was I knew the draft would be tonight and it was already past seven so I figured that they would be late in the round. There was no pick at the time so I watched the bottom of the screen and they were scrolling the names of the players and they had as 17, Malcom’s Spence,LW, so I had to assumed the Blues had already picked.

For young kids, I’m surprised at the deep voices of the kids.

Man. This is slow.

Now that Ive been watching a few minutes. I guess they keep rearranging the players who are still left to show the highest ranked choices remaining.
Getting close I hope it’s before 9 o’clock

Bettman is 5'7", so he's going to make everyone look tall.

I really hope we are flexible and not fixated on a specific person. One more reach and we get to pick from a couple guys we didnt think we would get the option to have

You should schedule a session with a mental health professional.
