Haven't really been super into hockey this off season with my MLB team playing so well, but since were less than a month away from the Hockey season beginning, I'll say that I think the Rangers will be a contender this year, with the acquisition of Richards; now forming a top line with Gaborik and Dubinsky. I know that our FO has ed up the past 4-5 years ( you Sather), leaving us with dead contracts and barely any money to spend (Still shocked we got Richards to sign to that contract) but I believe with all the young guys we have (Stepan, Anisimov, MZA, Wolski, McDonaugh) we'll end up playing way better down the stretch if we can hold off major injuries, and not get blasted out of the first round like last year, although I still believe our true breakout year will be in 2012/2013, with Kreider joining and us finally losing some big contracts, hopefully signing some key Wingers for the 1st/2nd/3rd lines.

Selanne returns for a year. The deal is for 4 million. Bad news for whoever plays the Ducks.

Went to the Sabres/Canes game last night, was cool that they won but I felt the game was not nearly as exciting as a regular season contest. In related news, the Avatar Marketplace on Xbox Live now has jerseys and hats for all 30 teams.

Just got home from the Red Wings training camp in Traverse City, been there since friday. Got to meet pretty much all of the Grand Rapids Griffins and Detroit prospects including Tomas Jurco. Also met Conklin, Lidstrom, Datsyuk, Kindl, Stuart, Commodore, White, and Kronwall as well. Had a really good time. And honestly, from what I have seen from camp, I would be shocked if Fabian Brunnstrom doesnt get a contract at the end of preseason. He looked great out there

Last night it just seemed like a lot of the kinks still need to be worked out. The passing was sloppy, and the Power Play was pretty much absent. But then again, it was pretty much a mix of the A and B team.
Bryz said it himself that he felt rusty, he let in what looked like 2 soft goals. But it's pre-season...no worries from me. Had a hell of a time at the game anyway, It's always fun yelling at Maple Leaf fans. These loud, obnoxious girls seriously thought the Leafs just won Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final.....Let's just say it was an onslaught of Flyers fans on them on the way out.

Jody is such a moron. I didn't see the hit during the game, happened pretty fast. Watched it when I got home, Goons will be goons.
And London stooped to a pretty nice low tonight. A fan threw a Banana at Wayne Simmonds during the shootout...I'm so glad that fans are still pretty backwards when it comes to black athletes. What a shame...

Heard that Mike Modano signed a one day contract with Dallas so he could retire as a Star, really cool.
