Sweet tricks, mom.
Yes, the long wait is finally over, and we all just want an excuse to never talk about the offseason again, so let's start fresh, because REAL FAKE HOCKEY is being played today by some NHL teams and an AHL team that doesn't know when to quit



Pertinent facts:
- Your team is being worked harder in training camp than they've been in years
- Your favorite player says he's in the best shape of his life
- This is definitely the year your team takes a big step forward
- Your Phil Kessel is fat joke will probably be retweeted by at least a few Toronto reporters if you're not careful
- The Oilers are finally back
- Baby


I'll let someone else fill you in on the thread title, if you're not up to date. It'll be gone in a week tops anyway

But yeah, hockey is sort of back, baby.

I've done a really good job of mostly forgetting the NHL existed in the offseason so this is a welcome change.

I'm not going to lie though, this is the first year where I wasn't rabidly following everything teams did in the offseason and the offseason felt like it went by ridiculously quickly. Coincidence? HMMM.

Panther is actually a general term used for the group of large breed cats. This includes cougars, mountain lions, jaguars, leopards, and pumas. :eng101:

When I did it took almost a week to arrive, so you just gotta be patient. Although it sounds like I just got unlucky.

I dunno if you're being wilfully obtuse or if my joke about Jagr is just that bad. (it's bad.)

I just got mine before reading your post. I might've worried for a bit if it were reversed. The only other experience I have with invitation style signups was with Demonoid (lol.) Can't wait to watch even more hockey this season. Woo!

Have we talked about PK impersonating Cherry?

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

Fun fact: According to David Paitson's book about the Columbus Chill, the "Blue Jackets" could've been the name of the short-lived D-league NFL franchise in Columbus, later named the Ohio Glory, which played in 1992.

Here's how lines for the team they did use the name on will shake out as of now:
F1: Brandon Saad - Ryan Johansen - Nick Foligno
F2: Boone Jenner - Brandon Dubinsky - BORK
F3: Scott Hartnell - Alexander Wennberg - Cam Atkinson
F4: Matt Calvert - Gregory Campbell - David Clarkson/Jared Boll

D1: Ryan Murray - David Savard
D2: Fedor Tyutin - Jack Johnson
D3: Kevin Connauton - Dalton Prout
D4: Justin Falk - Cody Goloubef

Ryan Johansen is really good, and so is Bobrovsky, and that's all a team really needs in the garbage East.
