...to get your morning started right.
Mike Richards becomes erased.
- Discussed in some detail in yesterday's FTB, Steve takes a deeper dive into the back ups vs. starters argument.
- The Old Guys in Blue and White are back with something to think about before your next jersey purchase.
- TML Nation reminds us all that one of the most important changes Brian Burke made, was keeping Ron Wilson as head coach after signing on in November (when it mattered that I hurt my privates. Go Flyers!)
- MLHS has the top 5 stories we can expect to hear about over and over and over. And over... .
- The Globe and Mail's Bruce Dowbiggin decided to place blame on the explosion of the Patrick Kane story squarely at the feet of bloggers. Without actually verifying this to be true. Shockingly, a few folks had a problem with that. Neate Seeger, mc79 and TSM weigh in with the facts.
- Yahoo! has their initial NHL power rankings up. Not everyone is amused with the way the teams shook down though.
- Mats Sundin is set to retire. Maybe.
UPDATE
- Hungry Leafs Fan has a plan for world domination! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! No? What's that you say? Growing the game? Oh...that's cool too.
- The Hockey News ranks the Marlies' jerseys 14th in the AHL. What about ottawa? Bingo's ranked last./
What's got you breathless in anticipation for this NHL season?
