well we made it through the summer months and here we are, on the eve of a new season !!! we're officially celebrating our one-year anniversary with duncan on board, so happy birthday to the current era of hitthepost !!!!
as it happens, my buddy jason (who designed my skull-and-cross-hockeysticks logo) is superamazing and reminds me every year around this time that it would be ultra rad to re-vamp the look of this here blog.... so HUGE kudos to him for the re-worked banner up top there.... i look forward to seeing him in early november to watch the flames kick some blues ass out east at scottrade center...
(btw: mum --if you're reading this: i'm going to st.louis !!!)
;)
i'm seriously excited about the potential of this year's squad, but still skeptical that they'll be able to notch Ws.... i like all of the offseason moves by darryl (save for the mcgrattan signing, which seems utterly suspect) and i'm hoping that his cap management skills have improved...
my main concerns are putting pucks in the net and keeping them out. seems kindof obvious, yes, but i'm not convinced that jokinen is the real deal, or that dawes/bourque/glencross have the skills to score enough.... on the flipside, it's clear that kipper has some issues and cumac is an unproven backup. could be scary, could be awesome.... i guess we'll know starting tomorrow !!!

hayley --i'm already resigned to a loss. it's october kipper. is that wrong ?

jason: you should probably accept some of the much-deserved kudos, here..... :)
Glad everyone is liking the new banner logo!
sweet.
btw, i think i saw zetterberg on the subway here in stockholm (!!!)
not completely sure tho.
Looks like WI should be pretty happy with the start to the season.
First goal of the season goes to Gio, and we actually scored on the powerplay. I was hoping for some play-by-play hitthepost commentary for the opening game.
D
Game's going pretty well so far...
And yeah, the new banner looks pretty sweet... good job Jason...
