That was a pretty sick play by Ennis, good for him to get some credit - Rally_Shots
I clicked on it about every 5-15 minutes to see who was winning. Ennis was up to 50.3% for a while, then dropped down to 49.6% right before it ended. It doesn't seem like a very big spread, but with unlimited voting allowed, it's impossible to say what the real vote would be. There had to be people on both sides clicking their morning away voting over and over and over again.

It is.. but I think the signing of Sulzer has allowed the Sabres to use a Dman as a trade chip and not have to worry about not having enough organizational depth.
Send me some tips... I've never been before. Not sure what Kayak I'm using but I know it's a lazy river, no rapids. I'm a bit nervous about tipping over and "righting the ship" so to speak.

Gotcha, I'll pull some stuff together over my lunch break.
You'll be fine, and there's worse things than getting wet

Tip #1: Get a Canoe
Tip #2: find a small creek with no rapids
Tip #3: find someone to go with you who doesn't mind doing most of the work
Tip #4 (the most important tip): get a case of beer

The likelihood of you flipping (aside from when you're getting in the thing) are pretty remote. What's likely is you will have a relatively short (8-10 feet) and wide (3 or so feet) boat. By nature, these things have a shallow, wide keel and are pretty damn hard to flip over, and many of them have a second wall leading to the deck, which is a second "stop flipping" surface to lean on.
That said, you'll still get water in the boat, probably a lot of it (from the paddle, from your feet, from getting in and out, etc.) Bring some kind of waterproof bag and put your essential stuff in there, and it should tie to the boat somewhere so you don't lose it if you flip.
If you do flip, There's a maneuver called the "eskimo roll" where you brace the shaft of the paddle against your strong side and pull, flipping the boat back over with you in the cockpit. Don't bother trying this maneuver. By the time you figure it out, you'll have drowned. Just fall out from the cockpit, right the boat, get to shallow water and get back in. Again, I think it's pretty unlikely you'll flip over unless you want to regardless.
Paddling a kayak is easier than a canoe because the secondary force (there's "forward" and "sideways" to every stroke) from the dual paddles correct themselves.
