NHL 2005

What - no mention?

It’s going to be like a whole new game (well, like it used to be), but new in the sense that the weaker teams are now strong.

Can’t wait.

I’m excited, and Wayne Gretzky was jut named our coach today, so there optimism in the air here. I was just listening to Shane Doan get interviewed on a local sports show this afternoon. It’s good to have hockey back.

I can’t believe how Pittsburgh gets so lucky. Twice now, their franchise is haning on by a thread and they draft the best player in ages! Lemieux and now Crosby! Although, with the new sceme, Montreal may actually have a chance to get some good players. (or at least afford them…)

I’m hoping some teams will actually fold now. There are too many teams in the NHL these days. I think that ESPN cancelled their contract to broadcast games next season too. Smaller markets are screwed if that happens.

But all and all. I can’t wait either!
