Well the first annual BT and Bass' 2009 Mock NHL Entry Draft is in full flight. We've had picks 1-7 done by me and 8-14 by Bass.
Alan even started his part of the article off with terrible jokes, so you know this thing is legitimate.
But before we begin, let's talk a bit about the NHL awards:
1) Jeremy Roenick should host everything NHL-related from now until forever. Even if he's just a floating head like in Futurama. Throw in Dennis Leary and it becomes all the better.
Needless to say it easily tops Bettman's self-deprecation and Tim Thomas asking Manny Fernandez "Should I thank your wife?".
Actually, it doesn't top that last one. Each interview of an NHL personality should finish with the interviewer asking "And while we're at it...should I thank your wife for you?". More awkward comedy? Yes please.
2) This has nothing to do with the NHL or it's awards but Chad (Johnson) Ochocinco is going to be living with Quarterback Carson Palmer this offseason. AND WHERE IS REALITY TV ON THIS?!?!
We're overrun with shows featuring large families; people of different heights, weights, ethnic backgrounds,and sexual orientations; and Kathy Griffin, and no one is recording this?
Better yet, throw Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin in a house together. Or Claude Lemieux and Kris Draper. What about Ken Daneyko and George Parros? Then let's make an NHL award for that. (See? I knew we'd get back on topic...)
3. Shaka Khan....really. I mean, is the NHL really that out of touch with "popular culture" that everyone was forced to sit through this? Poor Drew Doughty and Luke Schenn just finished their first years in the NHL, and now they'll never play well enough for an award for fear of this.
At least she didn't eat Bettman's toupee.
On to the draft....but first this
