September Already
6 Sep, 2007
In recent years past, when September rolled around I would be counting the days until the start of the hockey season.
Then came the lockout in ‘04-‘05, the Thornton trade in ‘05, the firing of Mike Sullivan, and the subsequent hiring of Dave Lewis, all of which added up to a spectacularly craptastic season in ‘06-‘07.
Even the snazzy new uniform isn’t enough to get me actively anticipatory about hockey this year.
That’s not to say I won’t be watching, at least for the first few months of the season… but my expectations are so low that it’s hard to get excited.

The Leafs eliminated the Canadiens from the playoffs last night, which is the first positive bit of hockey news I’ve heard in a while. Predictably, the Senators beat the Bruins 6-2 to close out the season.
