Morning Tweet: Come on, Cinderella, it's time to get you ready for the draft!

Wysh Tweet.jpgSo, the NHL Draft was last night. Sure, it doesn’t attract quite the fanfare of the NFL Draft or even the NBA Draft (*yawn*), but it still is a banner day for a league that made serious headway into the sports-viewing public over the past season. Sure, a lot of it had to do with an epic Winter Olympics in the sport, but the NHL is on its way to even greater relevancy in this country. Sure, that’s been 20 years running, but still…
Thankfully, the best in the business, Puck Daddy’s Greg Wyshynski was on hand to chronicle the event in Los Angeles, so be sure to head on over to his fine blog for all the best information,on the NHL Draft. Not only that, Wysh has been keeping us updated via Twitter with some amusing stuff as well, as alluded to in his above tweet (photo linked in tweet after the jump).
I’ll tell you where. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine on Saturdays. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I’m talking about a little bog called Out of Bounds.

Awesome. Well done, Oilers fans. Just do me a favor, guys – when you’re driving your ’84 Sheepdog back to Edmonton, keep your eyes on the road and no fantasizing about Mary Samsonite. I mean Swanson. Sigh.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT…
What you missed while waking up on a pool float hungover a mile offshore the coast of Florida
* The Edmonton Oilers took Taylor Hall with the first overall pick in the NHL Draft. Hope the above guys are happy about it.
* Cristie Kerr will take a five-shot lead into Saturday’s round at the LPGA Championship. It’s too bad the tournament’s trophy isn’t as, um, unique-looking as the one she won earlier in her career. Yeah.
* Spain beat Chile 2-1 in World Cup action, but both teams still advanced to the knockout stage, so it’s all good.
* The Onion Headline of the Day: Manny Embarks On Journey To Find Legendary Realm Of Batlantis
