By the way, I read through some comments made back in May, about the most pathetic, embarrassing collapse in the history of professional sports, and I must say that you gentlemen were quite gracious. Good on you.
I was drinking some very fine ale on the Thames when the shit went down, and luckily was flying to Prague the next day... otherwise the pain surely would have been even worse. As it was, I watched maybe 2 games after that, including the cup clincher... I was just too disgusted with my team to watch anyone play hockey.
Anyway, the hurt has finally subsided, and I'm getting pretty psyched for the season to start. Seems like all of the regulars on this NHL board saw their teams make some fairly interesting moves... can't wait to see how they all turn out.
