NHL Entry Draft Interview Roundup

Day 2 at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft was an exciting day for us at Illegal Curve. Day 2 is more about business, and not so much about looking good for TV. The picks went by quickly and if you weren’t paying attention it was hard to keep up. Illegal Curve conducted various interviews throughout the weekend.
