Something I learned when I was growing up playing hockey was that what you wear effects how you play. You feel confident then you'll play confident. I've been wearing a suit and tie to every game I've played since I was 15 and I started dressing up nice to other places as well.

I arrived to the red carpet in a limo with the rest of the guys, Tommy and Tor Tuck, Kalju and Herc. Though I arrived with the Blizz bois, I sat with my fellow Czech bois. Thomason and Winters were nominated for rookie of the year and I wanted to there to support them with the rest of our Czech teammates.

The biggest controversy of the night was when a certain someone dumped a cup of water all over Tommy Tuck. I won't name names but it seems pretty obvious who that would be considering the recent expansion draft.
