Why? No, not because I’m reminded of my ex, but because hockey season is returning! You see, I’ve always loved hockey since I first watched a game on ESPN back in the 90s. Just recently I got hockey fever when I had someone to talk hockey to at my last job. I’ve always been a die hard Red Wings fan since the 90s, before they won the Stanley Cup in 97, 98 and 02. So is was relieving this past year when they won again in 08.

Something about the ballet of ice skating, stick handling, line changes, hard hitting, slap shots and great glove saves make hockey the most interesting sport, in my eyes. This year is no different. With the recent inclusion of the salary cap after the last lock out, people say back to back cups are harder to come by. The wings for the most part kept a majority of their lineup and added a few to strengthen the rest of their lines. Right now in the pre-season they’re testing some new lines and new defensemen, so I won’t be at all disappointed if they lose before the season starts. I have a lot of faith in Mike Babcock to lead this team.

Tonight I will feel alive again, tonight Red descends on this city and consumes it.
