It's a wrap
That's all from the draft party. By all accounts, the crowd reaction to everything the Kings did tonight was very positive. Quite a turnaround from last year's booing of the Thomas Hickey pick. For those who haven't been inside Nokia Theater yet...it's a fantastic venue.
I'll post the Lombardi quotes a bit later, when I get home. Sorry about the inability to comment for the latter part of the night. I'm extremely disappointed by that, and I'm hopeful that it will be resolved tonight.
Back at it bright and early tomorrow morning. Who will be joining me at 7 a.m.?

I'm there...
I'll see you. Bright and shining faces to their places!
Best draft ever...
7am your time is much easier for me anyway, being in Europe - too bad I work today so I had to sleep during the first round, but eh :)
