Love the beard of the month idea. Hope some guys will get a little creative during the season, so that we don't see repeat winners. I'll make some calls, see what I can do.

You read the article about Brodeur's book that's coming out? Some pretty interesting stuff. Like this:

"He uses a brand new stick for every single game, drinks three-quarters of a can of Sprite after pre-game warmups, then two more Sprites at the intermissions.

Why Sprite?

"Gatorade hurts my stomach and water just doesn't give me enough of a lift," he says in the book."

Sprite should write this guy a check. He could be the Lil' Penny of Canada if they team together for a sponsorship.

Also, it's not even pre-season and I've had my first fantasy casualty. Frank Kaberle's out for at least 4 months from shoulder surgery. Good thing the Canes have some depth - it's sure going to be tested.

Oh and some dude named Gagne signed in Philly.

It looks like Kiprusoff is starting his bid to get October's nod because he's in full playoff mode already.

I could be up for a bid if I don't shave with the new little baby around.

Just unveiled the new site guys what do you think?

I don't understand why he drinks Sprite. That is the one soda that doesn't have caffeine....perhaps it has way more sugar?

Wazz Congratulations! Boy or Girl...and more importantly....forward, D, or keeper?
