So today is NHL Draft day. For those who don’t know what I’m talking about the NHL Entry Draft is a collective meeting in which the franchises of the NHL systematically select the rights to available amateur players who meet the eligibility requirements to play professional hockey in the NHL it means that every team gets to pick a young prospect for the future of their franchise. I don’t have time to write about how the whole draft is set up so if you'd like to get a better understanding leave a comment and I'll answer any questions you have.
The important thing to know is that the Toronto Maple Leafs have the 7th overall pick and a desperately trying to get one of the first few overall picks to try and get the highly sought after John Tavares. This kid is incredible, some believe him to be even better than Sidney Crosby. Why? Well John T when he was broke Wayne Gretzky’s OHL scoring record. He is an absolute scoring machine and getting pucks in the net is something the TMLs need. I quite confident that Toronto will not get him though as the New York Islanders have the 1st overall pick and there is no way in hell that they’re going to trade that pick to Toronto. But we’ll see tonight who they get.
The last I’d like to talk about is a couple of words that I have been seeing a lot or recently:
Sheepish & sheepishly
It might just be me but the a lot of the later fiction literature that I’ve read and am currently reading the writer’s have been using those words constantly and maybe I notice more now because I’m thinking about that word too much. “He turned away sheepishly”, “I felt sheepish saying”, “She looked up sheepishly”, “The sheep fell asleep feeling sheepishly sheepish”.
I don’t get it. I can’t get the attractiveness to constantly use those words why not use embarrassed, timid, guilty, foolish, ashamed, self-conscious, or abashed instead of sheepish. Change it up some writer’s!!! Take the $5 and buy a thesaurus!!!
And on that note have a great weekend.
Later,
Ryan
