It has been over a week since I did an actual hockey post--and I could wait no longer! If you haven't noticed, on the sidebar to the right there is a countdown clock to the first pre-season game the Wings play. Only 67 days to go! The first regular season game is on October 3--against the Ducks. Oh, yay. Not going to be a favorite game of mine unless the Wings knock the shit out of them. I'm bitter and I don't care who knows it. :)
The biggest player news that has happened is this: Dallas Drake is coming back to Detroit. Drake was a star player at our local college--in the early '90s. He was drafted by Detroit in 1989, is 38 years old, and isn't at the top of his game (come on--a -13 and a -14 plus/minus in the last two years?!)--hopefully, getting back to a good team will give him a jump start to a better season. I can only hope.
You Knew I Had To Do It
