Helloooo Knock knock, anyone out there?

[dewaltgirl]

PEOPLE!! The Season is upon us and this place is dead dead dead!!

Let's get back to it in here!!

What does everyone think about the roster changes? The kids in Traverse City? Who's coming in for the ASG? Who'll be watching the games in Finland?

Come ON guys!

[mslarose27]

I'm heeeere!!

Let's see...

Roster changes - Thrilled to bits that Joe is back. Not thrilled to bits that Babs is back (again) but willing to give the kid the benefit of the doubt, but if he pulls the attitude (again), buh bye. Still not sure how I feel about Jay getting a one way. Ok with Jiri getting one, even though as in true Canes fashion - he'll be gimpy to start the year. Happy camper that Brett is back. Interesting to see how the backup goalie situation plays out...gut says we'll see Pete Dawg most of the time, but I'd be interested to see what Pogge can do. And to state it for the record, I really really want Patty Dwyer to get a roster spot.

Kids in Traverse City - sounds like they kicked butt and took names last night. I'm really liking Dalpe. Skinner seems like a player...I have to admit I'm still not 100% sold yet. Kennedy seems to have grown up a lot and I'm excited to see what he can do in Charlotte this year. Love Murph and you guys know I love all things Staal. LOL

Nah. Totally not coming to the ASG. LOL JK.....I'm poor as can be right now and still sent the form off. Can't wait. I just hope we don't suck the first part of the year so we get more than our standard one rep.

And I totally feel the urge to start list making for packing for Finland.

I feel as if I am out of touch because I had so much going on last season that I wasn't on top of things so I am still catching up so to speak but so far.......

I had forgotten about Pogge being a Cane...he was awesome when he played in the Juniors for Canada a few years ago but since has struggled with nerves...I am thinking the Toronto market was not a good place for him....too much pressure to bring them the Cup. Hopefully being a Cane is just what he needs.

I am really excited about Joe being back and very leery about Babchuk.

Now to get caught up on the rest of the team and I am hoping to see some of the Finland games via net if I can find a place.

HAPPY HOCKEY SEASON LADIES!! I feel like it's time to come back to the land of the living!

I'm quite anxious to see all our "baby" Canes in action. I don't have enough knowledge of any of them really to talk about them specifically but I'm really looking forward to seeing some of Skinner and Dalpe. From everything I've been following they seem like the two stand outs to keep my eye on. I think it would be great if our first round draft pick made the team right away it would help renew my faith in our scouting a little bit..lol..
I am of course thrilled that Joe is back, for the team as well as for DG! I'm going to reserve judgement on Babchuk for now.

As for the ASG I have my fingers crossed that my "in" with the team eye doctors will translate to tickets for at least one of the events. I'm being told at the moment that it is pretty much a done deal but I don't think I will believe it until the tickets are in someones hot little hands. Even if we somehow wind up with no tickets we are still going to plan to come to Raleigh that weekend just to soak up the atmosphere because I have no doubt it will be worth the experience.

Sadly.. I am not one of the lucky ones going to Finland but I'm thrilled that they will actually be showing the games on TV.. it's Versus that is carrying them right? Turncoat.. do you get that channel? Of course with them being shown here at noon I will have to set the DVR but it's sure better than nothing.

We need to get Mel or Ellie back in here and get some of the threads updated/cleaned up/moved for the upcoming season because IT'S FINALLY FREAKING HERE! WOO HOO!

[turncoat]

I don't get Versus:-( but I am hoping to find them either on the net or one of the sports channels I do get will cover them...if not I will have to keep up via highlights and all you lovely ladies. My son is also playing hockey again this year so I will be getting more than my share of hockey again. LOL

*funny note* I went to school with a Patrick Dwyer a hundred years ago but he was no where near as cute!!;-)

[mscaniac]

Darn. I was hoping you would get it. Just got the tweet that Forslund is calling the Finland games for Versus! WOO HOO!

[dewaltgirl]

*sigh* I do love my OMGPD. His son, the most adorable baby in the world Ian, tried to play ball with me on Sunday. Haha. He's just the cutest little thing!

[mslarose27]

Baby Ian IS adorable. So cute.

And Susan, I'll keep my fingers crossed for ASG!

[mscaniac]

PSSSST for any of you ladies that haven't seen it yet Cam Ward, Eric Staal and Tim Gleason all have offical NHL Facebook pages now! *like like like*

[dewaltgirl]

[mslarose27]
