You make sure you give us a review of the game when they get to it.

On the other hand, Deadmonton acquired a badly needed net-minder :mark:

Saku to the Ducks... I'd puke :s

The Habs dump Higgens and pick up Gomez :up:

Schmenke...they are already calling the Habs "Team Smurf" in Montreal with Gionta, Gomez and Cammaleri. I like the pickups tho, they all are fast guys and that works.

Beats Burke's first signing, COLTON ORR. Geeze....gonna goon our way to a golf course tee time in April this time around...

Will do

Sadly due to financial difficulties, both Manchester Phoenix and Basingstoke Bison have withdrawn from the UK Elite League. The two teams will now compete in the English Premier League.

So we are down to an 8 team leauge...Not what we need when we are trying to attract more fans to Ice Hockey.

Yep, it did, at least five years too late. It's still going to be interesting, though.

So you have two leagues of hockey now? That's just stupid....
It isn't a wonder hockey is a fringe sport in the UK, it seems it is run by fools...

So hockey is starting up :D how bout those super swedes for Toronto in preseason :D and schmenke the smurfs are goin down Thursday :p :

I'm all ready for this season.

Can't wait to see Saku and Teemu together, hopefully in the same line as often as possible.
