Hockey. Is. Back

The pre-season has never been this exciting for me, but the youth movement is in full force, and I CAN'T WAIT to see this third line of Jones-O'Reilly-Yip.

The Avs made some cuts today - no surprises.

The biggest thing to keep an eye on over the next few days is how the fourth line is shaped. It seems to be a given that McLeod and Winnik have their places set. That leaves Kevin Porter and Ryan Stoa (and any other wildcard) battling it out for the final spot. These games could have a lot to do with it, and based on training camp reports, Stoa could have the upper hand.

Puck drop for the Avalanche-Blues will happen in about one minute from now. Check out this site for a radio broadcast of the game.

Good to be back!
