Before coverage of the real action begins though, a stake to the heart of Kings, Thrashers, Blues, and Islanders fans:
That's right, Bill Daly, the NHL's Deputy Commissioner, claims the Tampa Bay Lightning's thunder bolt logo as the best in the NHL.
But really, the Tampa Bay Lightning won the rights to the first-overall pick in the 2008 draft. All indications are that the club will select Steve Stamkos, as team rep Dave Andreychuk made it clear that the team has anticipated receiving the pick for the past few weeks with the intention of choosing Stamkos.
Did anyone else watching the Versus telecast have a deep desire to play poker with Andreychuk as soon as possible? One would think someone from the Lightning organization would have informed Mr. Andreychuk that in the event a freak accident occurs or say young Mr. Stamkos decides he has a calling to become the next voice actor for Papa Smurf in the upcoming Smurfs re-make, he should stay tight lipped over who the organization intends to choose.Unless, of course, Stamkos is just that good. And according to everyone in the world of scouting, he is.
