well, it will be tomorrow. close enough.

new broadcasters, who will mostly sound like the old broadcasters. new franchise. new fans. no, wait. old fans, back again.

Pens at Champa Bay and a battle of the newbies in Vegas on day one. both games on ESPN for the first time in a long time. though i have my doubts they'll treat the league anywhere near as well as NBC did, outside of the game broadcasts themselves, anyway.

also, if anyone else wants to make these this year (including remaking this one), have at it. i'm not sure i'm up for keeping them active right now, and i've finally embraced the block list. i don't think i hit anyone who posted last year, but i'd rather everyone see and participate, but still keep them away from me for subjects not as universally awesome as the coolest game on earth.

Bryan Rust is going to score goals and cause havoc for not only CE posters but the Flyers and Capitals.

NHL fans on CE really should play in the GameFAQS Saturday Picks contest.

It's easy: I make a topic once a week with a game list, you pick who you think is going to win. Outright win, no point spread. And transcribe the city names exactly (just follow the other posts as an example)

There've been adds for it all over ESPN Sunday Night Baseball. So, they're promoting it at least.

ESPN didn't spend all the money on NHL rights to just barely mention it. They hired a full team for coverage of the NHL. It's going to be advertised fairly well.

Steven A. Smith is talking about hockey.

The Pens are down on offensive power but their forecheck is doing just fine. Tampa has no answers early.

Dom Simon has been filling the net (for him) in the preseason. He doesn't do pretty goals, but pretty goals don't win games. Being in the offensive zone and putting pucks on net does, though.

This Seattle team is trash. GM's this summer were not going to make the same mistakes during Vegas Expansion draft and didn't leave better quality players for the Kraken.

No legit scoring options aside from Eberle or Schwartz at best. Team is going to be in the bottom of goal scoring.

Why the fuck is ESPN using VGS instead of VGK

pretty sure they always use just the city, unless there's ambiguity

VGK is the official NHL abbreviation, there should be no deviation.

I mean maybe it's not technically official official, but it is the one the NHL itself uses so it might as well be *official*.

Looking back they did just use "TB" for Tampa, so we're definitely in for some horrific abbreviation when it comes to like, Columbus.
