Ah can you smell that? It's the smell of fresh ice, old hockey equipment and frozen rubber. That's correct, the NHL is only about two months away and the 09-10 schedule was released earlier today.Highlighting the schedule is, in what seems now an annual event, the mid-winter classic part III and it will be held this season at Fenway Park between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Boston Bruins.
The defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins raise their championship banner on October 2nd, their first since 1992, against my favorite team in the whole entire world, the New York Rangers.
Once again, 4 teams will open their seasons across the pond as the Red Wings and Blues will face-off in Stockholm, Sweden and the Panthers and Blackhawks will drop the puck in Helsinki, Finland.
The NHL takes a 2-week hiatus for the 2010 Olympic games in Vancouver in the middle of February, which is always an exciting event.
The best part about the NHL is that it has one of the longest seasons, and the shortest off-season of any sport. There are some great storylines this upcoming season, with players changing teams and rivalries being renewed and born. I cannot wait until the puck drops from the 2009-2010 season.
God Bless you and your family and always remember, LETS GO RANGERS!
