WEFFPIM's Tidbits, Blackhawks Opener Edition
-After the funniest, most ridiculous offseason in recent memory, hockey is back. If the regular season is anything close to as eventful as this offseason then I might have a stroke.
-Blackhawks went to the Western Conference Finals last season before ultimately turning the puck over roughly 79 times at the blue line and were ousted in 5 games. But don't worry, both Brian Campbell and Brent Seabrook are back.
-Biggest offseason acquisition was Marian Hossa, who signed a 12-year contract. Rejoice, fans! The Stanley Cup will elude us for another decade. But don't fear, because we may be getting...
-An Olympics! That's right, kids, by the beginning of the 2nd Period we should know whether the world will set its eyes on Chicago in 7 years times. Of course, we could also know that roughly two hours before the puck drops. The traffic will be horrendous regardless.
-Will the Panthers get into the playoffs for Christ's sake and stop making me look bad for picking them as a dark horse the last three years? God almighty, I'm sick of defending you, Kitties.
-First Brian Campbell spin-o-rama will be at the 8:00 minute mark in the 2nd period. Over or under?
-Cristobal Huet is now the netminder for you Chicago Blackhawks. Never before will we see such wild flailing and sliding.
-Patrick Kane needs to stop taking such stupid hooking penalties this season, but that's just my 0.20 cents.
That's all, Good Luck, Cristobal...and Go Blackhawks.
