Battle of NY will be liveblogging the TSN/NHL.com coverage, and looking through all the gossip, and much like the draft, will get a few insiders (“Alanah, what do you think about the Canucks acquiring Sheldon Souray?) to talk about what they felt about what their teams did.

What do I think about the Canucks acquiring Souray? Not a chance in hell, if I were to guess. If there’s anything the Canucks will throw mad-money at today, it’s scoring. I can’t see how Souray would make any sense for them at all.

I suppose we’ll find out soon. smile

Nice list, Alanah! I’d rate my site higher than Leafs Lunch and The Fan, but still…;)

Have fun today, it’s gonna be crazier than the trade deadline.

You know what Lyle, I can change that.  Since I doubt the Hockey Central of Leafs Lunch crew will be in contact with me throughout the day, I am moving you up on the list!!!

I was joking about Souray.

How do you guys know about the NHL.com stream for sure?  Is there a link somewhere?  It doesn’t say anything on the NHL site.

This is what happens when you doubt Paul Kukla.

I’d like to state here that Paul, Spector or Alanah, or any other bloggers for that matter, are free to contribute to the BoNY liveblog by dropping me a line with some thoughts at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

NHL Preseason starts 75 days from now in the place where the last season ended (i.e. Kings-Ducks at the Ponda Center on 9/13) and NHL Premiere is 91 days away at the 02 Arena in London!  But to day will be a little slice of hockey Heaven for us all!

I figured/hoped you were joking, Steve. But I like to “play nice” when I can! smile

I’ll be following the Caps and general movement across the NHL at A View from the Cheap Seats, as will a few of the other more illustrious Caps’ bloggers such as OnFrozenBlog and Japers’ Rink...

...of course mine will be the best wink

I cant get into Sportsnet’s tracker, Spector’s site, Leafs Lunch, or 590 The Fan.  Have to stick to the TSN feed.

A lot of the sites are getting hit big time.  I am keeping my fingers crossed but we should be A-OK.

Mine was down momentarily but it’s running fine now. Heck I couldn’t get into TSN for about ten minutes.
