Sports Page Atlanta —
... I got into the elevator at the Hyatt with some members of Kadri family (Toronto's pick). They were very happy to see a local boy picked by the Leafs. The same with Montreal fans after they called out francophone Louis Leblanc.

Broad Street Hockey —
... was an unbelievable atmosphere for a draft; I can't imagine what it'd be like for a game. The back and forth between the Leaf fans and Hab fans was fantastic cinema, and Leafs GM Brian Burke went up several notches in my book for his participation.
