Let's See Some More Tonight

Thursday brought about the start of the NHL season. The Flyers won their first game against their intra-state rivals. Tonight they play St. Louis, a tough team that might remind one of the late 60s-early 70s Blues... might.

Explanation: San Jose puts together another great regular season, with Calgary making it back to the playoffs and Detroit having a comeback season, the Phoenix Coyotes fall out of their playoff position from last year.

Philadelphia's Sergei Bobrovsky puts together a Steve Mason-esqe season and wins the Calder Trophy as best rookie, Montreal's Price plays great for the first 3/4 of the season getting injured in February stopping his chance at the All-Star game and the Habs chances for the NE division champs, Tampa Bay makes the playoffs and Buffalo's slow start puts them on the bubble for the whole season.

The Ovie-Backstrom-Semin line becomes elite in NHL history scoring 137 goals with Ovechkin taking home the Richard, Jeff Carter comes back to form-playing with Mike Richards all season didn't hurt either, Stamkos doesn't reach 40 goals but Bobby Ryan hits 45 in a career year, van Riemsdyk is not affected with the sophomore jynx and Drew Doughty leads defensemen in goals and points (tying Larry Murphy's record of 76 points in 80-81).

Ovechkin takes home the Art Ross with fellow countryman Datsyuk not too far behind, Anze Kopitar leads the Kings with 98 points (becoming the highest-scoring King since Gretzky in 93-94), Henrik shows last season was a fluke and Daniel tries but can't even the career total.


Also, last night I purchased The Rocket: The Legend of Rocket Richard from Best Buy's website. I've seen a little of it, from what I remember it's in French, multiple NHLers are in it such as Ian Laperierre and sean avery (who gets his ass whooped by Richard), and it was rated PG for adult language and smoking (?).
I would have put the trailer on here but I just can't figure out how. I do love the narrator of the trailer.
