So, the first handful of games has been played, no need to hand out the cup just yet, but gee, Shanahan with 1 assist in 5 games, that does bum me a little bit. However, there is no way that the Rangers are going to combust this season. Drury is too good and with Jagr, Straka, Gomez and Shanahan (in that order) they will make the play-offs. And take it from there. My prediction, conference finals out.
Btw, one more thing on the NHL video on the web idea: Yahoo does indeed block European IPs for live broadcasts, and Tor doesn’t seem to work for me. At all. (I still can’t comprehend why one would want to exclude millions of fans outside the US, but that is just me!)
