everyone is being entirely unreasonable

today was draft day. i'm excited because that means the end of the incessant and RIDICULOUS rumors that have been floating around for weeks now. i'll admit, some of them are fun but i was getting really tired of hearing "heatley." ANYHOW-- i'm excited the kings chose schenn. he's a great player. but what i really liked about the whole thing was brian burke's temper tantrums. i loved the whole "Everyone is being entirely unreasonable" whining and i LOVE that the camera cut right to him when dean announced he was drafting schenn. burke looked like he hadn't slept in a while and was just sitting there shaking his head in disgust. although it wasn't quite the meltdown i was hoping for, it was still pretty good. i also loved the commentators being like "ooooh he's maaaaaaad." so i guess if burke wants the schenn boys to play together so badly, he'll just have to deal luke to us. :D

also, burke ended up drafting a player of lebanese descent... and when that happened, my dad popped his head in the room and was like "hmmm??????!!!" i swear, my dad has a radar. the second anyone says "lebanon" or "arabic" or "hummus" within 100 feet, he'll run over and want to know what's going on.

ok, so yeah. the most exciting part of the draft is finished. NOW the off-season really begins. except for free agency, there's really nothing going on for the next few months. poop.


...at least there's sf next weekend :)

edit: i just bought the tickets! scary! but i got good seats. yay.

also, thanks to my trusty buddies @ lgk, i now have a brian burke disapproval gif. this was right after schenn was selected:




last edit: you hear a lot about how swedish women are beautiful. prof tom was always talking about the swedish bikini team. but what nobody talks about is swedish guys. why am i thinking about this? watching the draft, all the swedish guys so far are so pretty! ok bye.

no, THIS is the last edit, i swear!: still watching the draft, which is being held in montreal. because of this, many of the clubs are having a french speaking staff member address the crowd in french. i swear, i cannot tell the difference between the native quebecois speakers and the native english speakers who just speak iffy french. they both sound weird and i can hardly understand either one.
