After seeing those hands in the World Juniors I would love to be an Islanders fan right now.
I would also love to be a Lightning fan right now. Stamkos, Vinny and Marty up front, with Hedman and Smith at the rear. Apparently Hedman is 6'6 and skates like the wind.
As a fan in the west I am starting to get jealous of the Eastern conference. It seems like the #1 and #2 picks go to an Eastern team every time they are exciting draft picks:
2004: Ovechkin and Malkin 2005: Crosby 2006: Erik Johnson (no slouch, but no wow factor) 2007: Patick Kane (exciting, but no Crosby) 2008: Stamkos (not sure if he's more of a Kane or Crosby) 2009: Tavaras, Hedman
I'm just whining here, but I wanna see some superstars! I was actually rooting for the Avalanche to get the first pick, even though that would mean a superstar on one of the Canucks' rival teams.

it'll be interesting to see who goes third... magnus paajarvi-svensson seems to be the consensus #3 pick, but might colorado want to grab an offensive defenseman? there are a couple solid guys out there in cowen and ellis...
