Good news all, I've worked out the issue and now we will be able to return to our regularly scheduled programming starting tonight.
*->Theo Fleury is set to take the ice after a 4 year hiatus in a preseason game against the New York Islanders tonight. Personally I think this is an amazing accomplishment for anybody let alone Fleury as he's been out of the game for so long. I truely think Theo is one of the games greats and if it wasn't for him breaking the size barrier many guys like Martin St. Louis would not be here today. I really hope he has a great season so he can finally resume his place in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
*-> Anyone see the Ottawa - Florida preseason game last night? What a shitty finish. That looked to me like a sure goal. It was just Jason Spezza's luck that night as he was in the box for both of the Panthers powerplay goals. Speaking of powerplay goals, Dmitri Kulikov scored the game winner last night. He looked really really good. The ideal powerplay quarterback from the point. He's got a great shot and a great break out pass. He's also got great vision in both zones, he doesn't lack defensive instincts at all. This kid looks to be ready but I have a feeling that Kulikov might get a year in the "A" just simply because the Cats have an abondance of offensive defensemen this season.
*->The Zherdev deal reported yesterday does have an NHL release clause it has been said. The Oiler's appear to be waiting to the end of preseason to decided on signing the enigmatic winger.
*-> The San Jose Sharks will be announcing the signing of UFA center Manny Malholtra this afternoon. Malholtra is expected to fill the 3rd line center void the Sharks have.

I did catch that preseason game. It was pretty slow, and that finish was heartbreaking. The last minute goal would have been a nice morale boost for the young guys at home, but instead it just created a ton of frustration.
Kovalev looked good, lets hope this is one of the years he decides to show up every night.
