Gary: "Detroit selects Leevi Aaltonent." he lets out another sigh. "Detroit your selection please."
Ken leans over the microphone again. "The Detroit Red Wings would like to announce that we have paid..."
"For ****'s sake Ken!" Gary interrupted.
"Second verse same as the first!" Eugene Melnyk shouted.
Gary was behind himself. Steam started to come out of his elf ears.
"Well actually Gary," Ken calmly said. "The Detroit Red Wings would like to announce that we have paid Eugene Melnyk 10 gallons of top quality blood to be our middle man."
Eugene Melnyk was seen doing a fist pump. "Thanks for the blood donation Ken. My goal to live forever will come true. Anyways the Ottawa Senguins would like to announce on behalf of the Detroit Red Wings, we have negotiated with Anaheim's GM and Flyers mascot Gritty to announce the 58th pick."
"Gritty? I actually like that furball," Gary said with a sigh of relief.
Suddenly a giant orange hand placed itself on Gary's left shoulder.
"What the hell!" Gary turned around.
It was the best mascot in the NHL as voted by the press.
Gritty held up a sign. 'Gar help,' the sign said.
"You want me to read it aloud?" Gary the elf asked.
Gritty nodded.
"Fine," Gary answered. Gritty switched over to the next sign. "I Gritty on behalf of the Ottawa Senguins are proud to announce that the Detroit Red Wings are proud to select from the Czech Extraliga, Michal Teply. I'm also a stooge and an elf." Gary blindly read. "Wait a minute!"
Gritty threw the signs into the air and darted off.
"Come back here you orange furball!" Gary jumped off his stool and chased after the best mascot in the NHL
Ken Holland sat there at his draft table with a smug look. "Fantastic," he said.
