Thank God, I go back to school on the 21st so if I could fit in a game before going back (definitely some practices at the Ristuccia) then that'd just be the ****

Is this real life?

Woke up this morning and heard the news.

Bunch of questions loom though: how will the b's fare?
How is trade deadline handled?
What about the reduced cap for next year?
Will i make pancakes or eggs for breakfast?

I think this is how we're all feeling:

He better play better than he did at the world jrs or he might not make the team. He showed glimpses of brilliance, but also some glaring weakness. At least he looked a hell of alot better than the Leaf saviour Reilly, he was terrible.

Dougie's problems were symptomatic of the Canadian team as a whole, sometimes things don't work out, despite having all top end talent, i'm sure he'll be fine especially with Claude handling him.

Do you think that Timmy will be back now that we are only facing a half season? Should be well rested which has normally been the case when he is dominant. I wonder also if he sat out to protect his paycheck, expecting a lockout. If he was entitled his check for sitting out, perhaps he got paid anyway during the lockout? Same as the injured guys perhaps. Don't know, just wondering.\

Anyway, habs officially suck again

[bruins>habs]

fell asleep dreading a hangover...woke up fine and to the news the lockout was over


I'll drink to that!!!

Its about time, looking forward to see if Seguin can make that jump to elite status, after the season he had over in Europe>

[Seguin]

So excited, feels like I haven't seen hockey in forever

Is this a real deal? Or is this gonna be similar to what happened a few months ago? When both sides came to a deal but fell through a few days later.
