Its another day closer to the start of the NHL regular season, despite how it may feel outside right now. I've given up on the outdoor hockey rink for now, I don't really have the yard for it anyway. Even if I were to build the thing, I'm sure some of these kids around my neighborhood would ruin it (said the cranky old man).
Grab a gallon of water, put on the comfy shoes because it is time, we walk.

Ilya Kovalchuk weighs in on Russia’s anti-gay laws: ‘I agree, of course’ | Puck Daddy - Yahoo! Sports
I wholeheartedly disagree with you Mr. Kovalchuk. It may be your country and it may be your line, but like you say, its a free world (except if you are gay in Russia) and I most certainly do NOT have to respect that. With all due respect Mr. Kovalchuk, your countries laws suck.

I can get behind Jonathan Quick between the pipes for team USA. Although Ryan Miller stopped the Canadian invasion pretty well last time. The competition is a welcome one for Team USA.
