And the on-ice things have become less and less frequent. I loved rooting for Sean, he had some awesome moments but we are all hoping he would magically start playing like the pre-Dallas Avery and I just don't think it is going to happen.

If it was just a roster number thing, I think they made a mistake because Christensen is garbage, but if Torts was just fed up with Avery, I am OK with it. Prust and Rupp are better players and can take care of the toughness for the most part and they still have guys like Dubi, Callahan and Boyle.

Staal's problems are scaring the crap out of me though.

Seemed like everyone had Erixon pencilled in for a starting spot too and since hes underwhelmed we look really thin and pretty susceptible on the blueline.

Get a Cally with the C on it. Boyles a solid pick if you are staying away from the obvious big names. I've contemplated Prust because of his awesomeness and 8 being my number.

i will gladly bring a terp or 2...i offered bklyn floor seats to st johns game last year that didn't work out.

or a game that i can't go too, you two can go. AGAIN NO HOME GAMES FIRST MONTH :(

GAME ON!!!!!!

Oh they actually started? It's like Boston has never seen a championship before with that ridiculous ceremony

Most embarrassing goal song in history

O Canada in Vancouver!

NEALLLLLLLLLL

God, I'm so happy hockey is back.

He also got me a fantasy goal and Letang a fantasy assist!

Two for two on the PP.

This team is looking really, really good. Flower gave up a really soft goal there, but I'm totally impressed with the effort and the look of this club tonight. now let's stick to that for two more periods.
