Vili Saarijarvi didn't expect to hear his name called when the Red Wings came up to make their 3rd round choice in this year's draft. When he heard "From the Green Bay Gamblers", he expected teammate Brent Gates' name to follow, so when he heard his own name announced he was pleasantly surprised.
"I told my agent my friend was going to go now, from my team. So I said ‘ Oh yeah I told you' when they said ‘Green Bay Gamblers'. Then they called my name so I was a little surprised, but of course I was so happy that I can be part of the best organization.
