[UMFan83]

The preseason opened today with much fanfare as the Panthers and Predators are in the process of a doubleheader in South Florida.

 

Look at the excitement just before puck drop:

Anyways, here's to a good 2013-2014 season and a repeat Stanley Cup winner!

Wow. Clarkson is basically an older Bickell. I heard on NHL Radio that they are likely to let Phanuef walk as a result.

I had James Wiesnewski's wife as a customer yesterday.

Nice preseason line brawl between division rivals:

 

 

And look, Kessel, I realize John Scott shouldn't be coming after you. But you are still, sir, a bitch. You can't go swinging your stick like a baseball bat at the back of a guy's legs while he's engaged with someone else.

I was hoping the Wings would make a move for Clarkson, but I was thinking more like 4 to 4.5 a yr and not 7 yrs either. Just another example of how the NHL should lock some of their own owners out and not the players.

And then he's gone for the first 10 games. I didn't realize when I first watched it that he had jumped off the bench.

This Leafs-Habs game tonight should be pretty good.

It was amazing until a pointless fight in the 3rd sucked the life out of the game and the arena because they had to cart Parros off the ice.

Yeah I flipped away to watch the Hawks but read about it. I'm not an opponent of fighting, but this sort of thing isn't good.
