The NHL thread

I've found myself wondering from time to time what it would be like if a team jet crashed, and now I wish I'd never known.

Someone on HF Boards made a hypothetical thread on it a few months ago, and everyone pitched their ideas on what the league could do.  Now it's a fucking reality, so eerie.

Yeah I saw that.  Messed up.

The player who survived the initial crash died: http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2011/09/12/only-hockey-player-to-survive-russian-plane-crash-dies/?test=latestnews

The only member of a top Russian hockey team to survive a plane crash that killed 44 people died Monday of his injuries in a Moscow hospital.

The Vishnevsky hospital said 26-year-old Alexander Galimov died of the severe burns that covered about 90 percent of his body, despite the best efforts of doctors in its burn unit, considered one of the best in Russia.

Scary how close our Travis was to dying like this.

Can't see the video because of fucked up country restrictions.

Anyways, Selänne is back for one more year: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=588559

The Ducks will face the Jets in December in Winnipeg. Selänne in for a standing ovation?

Can't fucking wait for the season to begin. Hiller should be back to his usual self and hopefully Perry starts the season the way he ended the last one. I expect at least 100 points from him this season.

No sign of it so far but who knows; medically it was a bit of a mystery to begin with. At least McBackup isn't here anymore to ruin everything in case the vertigo returns.

McBackup will be McBackuping the Coyotes AHL team this year I think.

Alright, I made a Yahoo! league.

League name: The Blink Boards

Password: classless

Since the season opener is October 6th, I figure we should do the draft on the 5th. 

I'm thinking 4:00 PM PST, 7:00 PM EST on October 5th would work the best.  Any schedule conflicts for you guys?
