Summer may be over...But that only means one thing.....

As you look outside, drive around your towns/cities of residence one thing is becoming abundantly clear. Summer is on it's last legs.The nights are getting shorter, mornings a little colder, leaves are turning shades of orange and red. Yup it's over folks. Pack up the deck furniture and put away the above ground pool. Winter will be here soon enough.

What's that?..Your upset that summers over? Ok hold on just stop and listen...Do you here that?...Do you here those familiar sounds?...Skates being brought out, Zamboni's being fired up.You here it now don't you?..That's right folks summer may be over but the second favorite season in Canada is only a week or so away from starting to roll full bore...NHL training camps officially open on Sept.19th, and I am glad it's back damn it.

Sure Summer is fun and great but I miss hockey. It's time for "Hockey Night In Canada" to come back into the households across the country. I have said it before and I will say it again. Nothing brings Canada closer together than Hockey Season. It's time to renew the rivalry talk around the dinner table, it's time for Don Cherry..It's time for my beloved Habs to beat up on Toronto again....(The Home Office will have something to say about that..lol).

I can't wait, changes that a lot of teams made in the off-season will be interesting to see they un-fold. I will make a few prediction though. With the changes the Habs made they will be a force in the East and finish 4 or 5 in the division. Samsonov, Huet, Kovalev, Koivu, Ryder...being coached by Canadiens legends Guy Carbonneau and Kirk Muller..The team looks good...Toronto won't make the playoffs(sorry)..Vancouver will finish 8th in the west(barely)making the Playoffs(out in the first round), Jose Theodore will let in a ton of goals for Colorado and Carolina will not repeat...October 6th can not get here soon enough.....
