By Tony Abbott -
August marches on, and even though we're still, what? A month from training camp? I can't get these dates straight. Whatever. You look them up. I'm not an expert on these matters. Anyway, training camp will be here, most likely a bit of time before the Opening Day of October 3rd, which is like, a month and a half from now. Unless there's a lockout. Is there a lockout this year? Or a strike? I don't really know. I'm digressing from the point: Even if there is hockey somewhere reasonably around the corner, the doldrums of August aren't doing us any favors in giving us a lot of stuff.
Is it hockey yet? On to the Walk.
