For last night’s NHL All-Star Game Fantasy Draft, Senators fans descended on the Casino Lac Leamy like a pack of ravenous dogs that were out for blood… then beers… and then more blood.
It was the hockey equivalent to Philadelphia Eagles fans invading the NFL’s Draft at Radio City Music Hall, only instead of booing a Donovan McNabb pick, Sens booed Joffrey Lupul every time he raised his eyes up from Team Chara’s podium.
Lupul: With our next…
Faithful: Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Lupul: Uh…
Faithful: Leafs suck!
You would think that after one or two picks, someone from the broadcast or the league would have gone over to Chara and told him to make the picks instead. Hilariously though, this never happened. For a player who’s supposed to be renowned for his defensive awareness, the Big Z repeatedly let his teammate down. Frankly, it felt like I was watching a Columbus Blue Jackets game – watching a defenceman hang his teammate out to dry that often.
The night wasn’t...

Last night was the NHL All Star Draft for the game this weekend. I think this is so genius and so much fun to have two captains pick their own team rather than just doing East versus the West. Could you imagine if the NFL did the Pro Bowl like that? The two captains were Ottawa’s Daniel Alfredsson and Boston’s Zdeno Chara.
I was a little surprised that Evgeni...
