Underway

Well, watching the Wild and the Hurricanes is kinda like watching Michigan Tech at Saginaw Valley (D-II football) but it IS hockey.  We'll watch anything after the long, hot, ice-free summer, won't we?  The quality will pick up later when the Flyers take on the Flightless Birds in that brand new arena in Pittsburgh.  About which:

"I think it's great for both the city and the franchise," Crosby said. "Still, there are mixed emotions. [There are] a lot of great memories in the Mellon." As for the new barn, "I don't think there's a bad seat in the house," he said. "It's going to be loud. It's a brand new building, so it's going to be nice."

Heh.  Nice to me would mean seeing the Flyers humiliate Sid the Kid & Co tonight.  We hold grudges, we do.  On more than one count.
