Good afternoon from the West Coast! Just checking in live from Los Angeles, California getting ready to gear up here for the 2010 NHL entry draft where I will be live blogging and live Tweeting from the Media Risers at the Staples Center throughout the entire event.

The 2010 NHL amateur draft is upon us. All Habs wants to help you get ready, starting with a brief overview, player previews, and prospects currently in the system. It's fair to say that Bob Gainey and Trevor Timmins have done a very good job re-stocking the Canadiens talent pool that had been depleted prior to their arrival. The Gainey/Timmins team has not always followed popular opinion, but ...

We all knew it was coming, but it is still a sad day for San Jose Sharks fans. Tuesday, the San Jose Sharks officially said they would not be bringing back Evgeni Nabokov. Next season will be the goalie's first in another NHL uniform. Sure, there might be a few out there who blame Nabby for the team's playoff failures.
