...it is indeed a beautiful day in the City of Brotherly Love with the 2014 NHL Draft less than 10 hours away.
I'll be weaving my way through Philadelphia today, posting updates before hunkering down at Wells Fargo Center tonight for the first round. Maybe I'll even run into some Penguins fans along the way.
