Well folks, we are a week away from the opening of the 2006-07 NHL season. Three and half months have gone by since we saw the Carolina Hurricanes win Lord Stanley's prize.
The excitement is not the same as last year of course, because then we had gone a full season with no hockey as we got closer to opening night in 2005-06. The excitement should get bigger, because we know that after a year with the rule changes, hockey this season should even be better.
All the teams have had a year to adjust to the rule changes and hopefully we will see the game get better as the season progresses.
Living in the Ottawa area, i will get to see the two first games of the battle of Ontario, between the Senators and the Maple Leafs. Friday, my team the Montreal Canadiens will begin their season on the road, against the Buffalo Sabres and the following night, they will be in Toronto to play the leafs. This on top of following the baseball playoffs that should be starting next week, and the NFL on Sunday. It's a long weekend here Canada, so all works out great. Beer, turkey, chips and plenty of sports to watch , what else could a guy ask for ?
