There is some news on David Aebischer
Considering he has played 214 NHL games and once posted a 2.09 goals against average, 32 wins and a .924 save percentage with Colorado, he’s not a bad guy to have in camp, pushing incumbent goaltenders Ondrej Pavelec and Chris Mason.
"My expectations are that I do well on the ice and I end up playing somewhere in North America," Aebischer said. "I sure wouldn’t say no to playing for the Jets. I know it’s not going to happen like ‘Click’ and I’m in the NHL, but I’m here to work for it and I’m ready for the minors perhaps."
An update on John-Micheal Liles
"I thought a barricade broke or something," Liles said after his debut in blue and white Saturday at the MasterCard Centre.
"Everybody said ‘That’s Toronto.’ It’s a far cry from growing up playing hockey in Indiana, but if that’s how it is, I’ll get used to it."
Russ Courtnall is not only stepping up into Wade Belak's Battle of the Blades spot, he will also be skating to try and raise money for Wade's chosen charity.
Courtnall, who was eliminated early from the 2010 competition, will skate for Belak’s chosen charity, Tourette’s Syndrome Neurodevelopmental Clinic at the Toronto Western Hospital. Each pair is skating for a $100,000 donation to the charity of their choice.

Just start the games! I’m getting impatient. I’m going to watch exhibition games on the NHL Network tonight. I think it’s Toronto and Ottawa. I don’t care at this point, it’s hockey
Stabilize your rear deflectors, watch for enemy fighters.
I have watched the repeats of the 2010-2011 Stanley Cup series so many times on the NHL network that I can parrot the announcers for all the games. Only a slight exaggeration.

I don’t know why NHL Network played pretty much that, and nothing else this summer. They can do that, sure…but some better summer programming can’t be that hard to come up with

agreed, but I was like dying of hockey thirst, so I took what I could get.

I will always love Liles because I too grew up playing hockey in Indiana, and still do.
His hometown is only an hours drive from mine. I thought about going all creepy stalker and driving out to Culver to look for him one weekend over the off season. Alas, I have a fear of getting arrested and or tased.

Sorry. But I didn’t use his pic this time…

Oh I know. Not sad face at you. The pic of him on that article made me very very distraught. I do feel really sorry for him – and really anybody who plays in Toronto. Such a huge spot light, every little mistake glaringly pointed out. Lots of pressure there.
And it has begun....

I know, I also feel terrible for Boods. Montreal’ers are though on their goalies. I’ve listened to the radio ther enad been shocked at what they say about their goalies.

LOL funny thing about "sounding meaner in French"
I was asking my youngest brother what sounded better when I was writing the recap for blades last night, but then I hit the wrong button on my PVR. So it went like this: "Hey what sounds better “shit”, “Damn” “Merde” " Without missing a beat, the French one, every time. You sound angrier"

Patrick Rissmiller
I have heard this fellow mentioned a few times, but am not sure he really exists. He doesn’t seem to be in camp, unless he’s disguised himself as another player.
Anybody know who he is or why he’s associated with the team?
New goalie coach perhaps?
Tom Priessing’s defensive partner?
Ticket sales rep?
AHL depth signing
With some NHL experience.
Whiskey tends to make me high, and sad songs make me cry. Pretty women break my heart almost every night. I run on beans and nicotine; I'm a real, live buckaroo. And my heart's not pure, my boots ain't clean, and I never tell the truth.
Speaking of AHL signing, defenseman Mike Brennan has looked NHL-calibre at camp. He’s an Erie contract guy, but I’ve been impressed.

We got 17 requests for our 16-team ESPN league. The 17th ask was sent so quickly after the others, that I feel bad not including him. If there is one more person that wants a team, send an email to enos.kroenke@gmail.com and I’ll add the first person to do so. No guilt adds after this one though.

I would be okay with giving up my spot for someone if needed.

We should sign Sergei Samsonov to a $3 contract. I am willing to pitch in said $3.
He should Wolski his way around the entire season, but when people go down injured, he’ll go on a tear for a week or two and everyone will think Sherman was a genius but then come back down to earth because…well…it is Sergei Samsonov afterall.
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
