Draft Day 2
Posted by: Ben Wright on June 21, 2008 at 11:03AM EST

It's day two of the draft and the internet is still pretty spotty here at Scotiabank Place. We're midway through the second early in the third round at this point and so far there's nothing much to report. Picks are being made, a couple have been traded, and I'm just waiting for the third round to roll around when we can do something.

The most interesting part of the morning so far is watching the people in the stands react when a player gets chosen. There are plenty of friends and family here to cheer on the players but it's still exciting to see the random fans in the stands wearing jerseys of junior teams that are hundreds of miles away cheer when one of their guys gets taken. Without looking at a full list it seems that there are more QMJHL kids getting taken today. As a rule of thumb the Q cranks out goalies and offensive wingers, the OHL tends to produce centers and skill players with grit and the WHL is a defense factory. The first round clearly belonged to the OHL though and that's thanks in part to Drew Doughty and Zach Bogosian going second and third overall.

So far the biggest name to get drafted today is Jared Staal, the fourth and final of the famous Staal brothers. He's going to Phoenix where he'll be the lone Staal in the western Conference. Jonathan Toews' younger brother is still available. He's ranked 79th among North American forwards.

Atlanta's up and we just took Danic Paquette. 6'0", 210 lbs right-winger. I'll take him. He scored goals and piles up the penalty minutes. Now it's time to see if I can track him down.

Hi guys:

White and Blue Land.This window was average or worse in those respects, and on this day Greenland was hazy, with lots of clouds amidst the mountains. Still, I got some decent shots — enough, at least, to slake my thirst for geographic and geological.
