It’s not quite here yet, but every NHL offseason there’s a lull during the month of August when... pretty much... nothing happens. The GM’s all seem to agree that August is the month that they are going to take off to do whatever it is that NHL GM’s do when they have free time (I assume golf, tropical vacations, and lake-related activities top many of their lists). With Wild Development Camp starting tomorrow, we haven’t quite hit official dog day status yet, but with yesterday’s biggest stories revolving around Teemu Pulkkinen and Rick Tocchet, you know things are beginning to wind down. Get your hockey fix now, Wilderness, because once Development Camp is over, things are going to get very quiet around the league.
Here are Simon and Garfunkel, Live from Central Park, to prepare us for the coming months.
