Just wanted to give you all some updates as I am (hopefully) in the air on my way to Montreal for the NHL Draft:
Tonight: There will be an open thread during Round One of the Draft. Remember it works just like our open game threads, no need to refresh. I have created a section on the left hand column of the main page entitled "Live from the NHL Draft", I will post any new interviews or stories in there, and notify you guys in the open thread. TV Coverage begins on TSN and Vs. at 7 PM. I will try and Twitter as well, if you aren't following me, you can find me @jrs1940
Tomorrow: Again, we will have an open thread for Day 2 of the NHL Draft. TV coverage will be on the NHL Network, and I believe they will be streaming live on NHL.com.
Remember to check out some of the other SBNation hockey blogs for draft information as well.
Wish me luck guys; this is a whole new world for me, one that four months ago I would never have thought possible.
Also, Blueshirt Banter Radio was a big success thanks to you guys last night, and will return Wednesday July 1st at 7:30 PM on Blog Talk Radio for a recap of the NHL Draft, and we'll cover the always busy first day of free agency for you.
I may live blog a few things during the day today if anything pops up

Well I figure I will use this thread as sort of a live journal of my day. I’ll post thoughts in here along the way. Sitting at Miami airport, waiting to board my flight to Montreal. The plane is here, always a good sign. Very nice people at MIA security, got through very easily and quickly, that was a nice surprise.
Just had a $10 breakfast, tasted like $4 to me.
Hopefully boarding in a few minutes. Catch up with you guys soon.

PS, don’t want to make a big deal of this, but the death of Michael Jackson left me with a weird feeling, like the 80s just died. I wasn’t a huge fan, but if you were a teenager in the early 80’s, no matter what type of music you listened to, you had a copy of Thriller.
Everyone sitting around me is talking about it, in multiple languages.

iTunes is going to make a killing today.

Stay out of those strip clubs when you get to Montreal. They are the best part of that city IMHO.
No night spent pantsless is a wasted night.
