Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

Panthers' lone All-Star Brian Campbell selected in 11th round of NHL Fantasy Draft

Photo

Setting the benchmark for highest-picked Panther in an All-Star draft (or more accurately, the first-ever Panther to be picked in an All-Star draft) our buddy Brian Campbell was selected by Team Chara in the 11th round. Not that this means anything in the real world, but Soupy was taken before Phoenix's Keith Yandle, Toronto's Dion Phaneuf, former Panther Dennis Wideman and Vancouver's Alexander Edler. While I was fully expecting Campbell to receive the dubious honor of being the last of the defensemen to be picked, keep in mind Campbell is narrowly holding on to second place in points by a defenseman with 35 and has genuinely rekindled his offensive game to deserve All-Star recognition. That said, there's no shame in being selected in the middle of the pack for defenseman in a weekend of completely absurd fan festivities. And for those wondering, Logan Couture will be driving home in the KesselMobile v.2 for being picked last overall.

Watch Campbell crush Team Alfredsson all whilst rocking the blue in the 2012 All-Star Game, 4pm on Sunday.

Panthers boy Justin Vaive (playing in Cincinnati) finished a 5 1/2 pound cheesebuger today, documented by Garrett Wilson on twitter. Heres a pic:

Will he ever be able to play (or walk) again after having eaten that?

Oh, and another bad joke, I guess Vaive must have skipped the trip to Whole Foods for the healthy eating seminar at the last rookie camp…

So was I Donny. I recently found an old bumper sticker from the Blaze, and a game day program from a playoff game against Lakeland that first year. I was there the night the goalie sucker punched the opposing player, as he skated off the ice not wearing a helmet and flickin the crowd off. Goalie got banned from the league and traded to the Colonial hockey league. Johnny Craighead I think was the only player from the SuHL that made it into an NHL game, with the Nucks, I think.
