Timonen has been hospitalized for blood clots in his right leg and both lungs...yikes. No doubt that was the reason for signing Del Zotto (meh). I was one of those people who thought that he should have retired after this season, but it will really suck if he has to go out this way.

Good news, I have my ticket for the Blackhawks training camp. Bad news, they cancelled the 5K run I was going to participate in, which sucks because I've been training for it.

I want to see what Gostisbehere can bring to the table. However I'm all about seeing if MDZ can turn his game around. Maybe his defensive play will improve too.

Maybe his defensive play will improve too. If anything, Laughton will have the better shot at making the team provided they don't resign Hall. I can only see Gostisbehere coming unless he's called up in the event that one of the D-men gets injured. Hextall is obviously in no hurry with any prospects. The Del Zotto signing is very low risk, more to potentially gain than lose.

The Del Zotto signing is very low risk, more to potentially gain than lose. Hall is definitely not coming back. They just signed Ryan White. A 4th line center that most Canadiens fans were really high on. He plays like rinaldo without being a liability and he can chip in some points too. So hopefully he makes the team. Hextall really seems to want to groom all the young guns in the ahl and minors, which I love. We haven't had a prospect pool like this in a while so I want it to be treated right. Morin, Ghost, Hagg, Laughton, Leier and Sanheim are the future so it's key they definitely have proper development.

Alright guys, training camp/pre-season is coming up. Time for us to all come back and not want to talk about it.

Hoping to catch a game this season. It's been a couple of years since I've gone to a game (Blow Jobs vs. Pens in the preseason a few years ago) and been almost a decade since I've been to a game that mattered (back when Brodeur was still young and the Moose was our starting goalie) so I want to use my student discount to check them out...it's been a while so that would be cool to see though.

I'm going to a whole bunch of games again. We play Florida on my birthday in December, I also might be going to Philly and Pittsburgh for back to back games in March. Also the day after my birthday the Penguins play the Blue Jackets in Columbus, I want to go to that too.

My bad L.L.L.B.D.™, I assumed that a new thread would be made for preseason.

I'm bummed because usually the only Oilers game I catch in the season is against the Canes but I have to work the night they play that home game. Oh well. I do plan on catching a whole boatload of Oil Kings games though again this season. Next season I'll be buying Oil Kings season tix.

I went to the Hawks training camp & had a good time. I wasn't planning on drinking, but Crawford gave up a goal 70 seconds in. I figured it'd be a long night. Pretty sloppy play, but I wasn't too surprised. The big names played a lot longer than I expected them to.
