Will Phil and Sid be suiting up? If yes, this is your first look at what sorta potential those two will have together.

Well, it also means lotsa ...That can be entertaining if it's a hard-nosed affair without the cheapshot shenanigans.

Just because Phil suits up does not mean he will show up ...

He lost 13 lbs working out with Gary Roberts, it will be interesting to see what Phil shows up to camp

Me thinks Domcha is on his way with a truck full of hot dogs

I'm curious if he makes it through the season uninjured. He's always been a pretty durable guy. When he was in Boston he missed 1-2 games for cancer and about 2 weeks for mono and that was it.

I wonder if his body helped protect him with pudge.

I'm wondering the same, you can't pull fat. I'm curious to see if he stays healthy. Especially on the snake-bitten Penguins...

Wow...very surprised that Patrick Kane is expected to be at camp.

Still, I would not be surprised if the NHL has something to say about that...He should be suspended.

I'm telling you.....Brad Boyes is due for a career year. And only Leave management otherwise known as Shanaloucock, had the foresight to see it.

The Kings also released a statement later on Wednesday, stating the team had already decided Voynov would not play again for the club and the team had placed an in-house deadline of September 17 to terminate his contract.**wink,wink, nudge,nudge** However, the defenceman's decision to return to Russia, "makes the termination unnecessary."
Notice how there's now no need to terminate his contract? Me thinks once this blows over in a year or two he's back with the Kings and back beating the ladies.
That Deano is as sneaky as ever. And always right.

Remember, the OTHER future Norris/HoF d-man, Jack Mudderfawking Johnson that Moog used to talk about...the same ex-King Mudderfawking Johnson? Well, he's bankrupt and apparently, he's saying it was his parents who were screwing him over...so, it's really Jack Parentsarefawking Johnson. Something like that.

@ the 25% voting for Toews against Super Mario in TSN's Franchise Faceoff final.

Even I'm not homer enough to pick Toews over Lemieux.

Old news, this came out last year. His parents totally ripped him off. Terrible to see though, if only Moog was managing his money, this would have never happened, because Moogy is never wrong

I don't mind them...Obviously a huge leap from the old Isles jerseys but they are moving to Brooklyn and well, kinda makes sense to have it in sync to the Nets uniforms?

But, seriously...DAFUQ was that presser with the Hawks and Kane?!?

Stupid and stupid and pointless and awkward...this is case example #1 why he should've been told to stay home until his case is over with. Wow...terrible decision to let him come to camp.

Fair enough. Not THE worst logo...but, not the greatest either. Still, I don't mind it.

I also like the Dallas Stars' new uniforms.

Going to see Mr. Kessel's debut tonight, debating bringing a pack of hot dogs to throw on the ice. He'd certainly rather have those than waffles

Well, we clearly know what happens if the Bruins/Pens resorts to those shenanigans...

HOPE NOT.
