Maybe my creative juices are sapped after Wolski week, or maybe all of my focus is on my upcoming vacation (taking the family to Washington DC later this week). Either way, I've got pretty much nothing for all of you dullards valued readers. So, talk about the Avs, talk about hockey, talk about pretty much anything other than politics and religion. And when the Kovalchuk decision comes down today, you can talk about that too, even if it will have absolutely no impact on the Avs.

Oh, and the NHL.com review of the Avs exhilerating offseason is up, in case anyone needs a refresher on the flurry of moves the team made this summer.
