I had a hell of a day Wednesday so forgive me for the half-hearted effort here today. Besides, all the interesting stuff in the NHL happens on the nights that Skinnyfish does the FTB, which just isn't fair. All I end up with is more stupid comments on twitter from Damien Cox. I wish the dude who's gonna sue Rypien was on twitter so I could forward him Cox's stuff and his lawyer could add another name to the lawsuit. BUT WAIT! Tyler Bozak informed us of something very important on twitter last night: both Luca Caputi and Christian Hanson have joined twitter. I have a feeling that Bozak set up Hanson's account for him, given his first tweet. Hopefully he'll do the same for Phil Kessel.
At least there's a Leafs game tonight. Two days in a row without the Leafs this early in the season is just cruel. After a long, painful summer, withholding this great new team from us... I don't even know what to do. At least right now I'm experiencing a short period of begrudging respect from the Canucks fans that surround me. Keep it up, boys! Links after the jump.
