Here comes hockey

So the NHL training camps start today (some start tomorrow), which means it's time to gird for the new season.

The Oilers, having traded away their franchise player (Ryan Smyth, duh) will get to play against him now, as he steps into Denver to play for the Colorado Avalanche. Nice work, Kevin Lowe.

And I had forgotten that Mike Keenan was the new head coach of the Calgary Flames. OMFG! Iron Mike!

Watch out, Northwest division. Even looking at a photo of Keenan scares me. Don't let the smile fool you. He only smiles before he crushes someone.

So get those spreadsheets out, because the time for fantasy drafts fast approaches.
