It's easy to tell who the seasoned Casino Night fans are. They're the ones checking out the placards on the tables to see who is going to be dealing where.

There are healthy lines formed at the Mystery Bag table and there's a nice crowd across from me at the silent auction tables where there are some really nice pieces up for grabs. How about an Eastern Conference All-Star jersey signed by the entire Eastern squad? Or an Ilya Kovalchuk signed All-Star jersey? There's an assortment of trips up for grabs including a week in Mexico. then there are the diamond ear rings, a diamond necklace and a handful of special experiences, including the chance to shadow the official Thrashers photographer during a game. Scott Cunningham has been around since the Flames were here, so he certainly knows what he's doing. He's one of the best in the game and he'll be feeding me pictures tonight. I should be ab;e to crank out a couple of galleries for you. The first one will go up shortly after he takes the obligatory team picture of all of the guys in their white tuxes.

I'll be posting up dates all night, so keep stopping by.
