    Give him time. It took a few years but Yserman put together the team in Tampa that won 2 cups and almost won 3.

    Looks like it's gonna be bleak in Tampa this year but that's how that cookie crumbles. Salary cap is a heartless taskmaster.

    I just don’t know that Davidson is a Yserman. He doesn’t have a lot of time now. He has the player, now he needs the team around him. He has a few years. But if he’s wildly off track, he will be sacrificing a lot. As for the salary cap, I hear you. It’s the price you pay for winning. We finally shed the last of our biggest cal hits. It’s worth it if you got the banners in the rafters.

    I think I didn't really make the point that I was trying to make there. The Lightning didn't win the back to back cups until after Yserman had already left. He was making moves and spending big money on players for wins that didn't even come until after he was gone. Blackhawks are original 6. They can afford to play the long game unlike others like the Yotes who are on borrowed time because of the market they are in. Hopefully for the fans Davidson is thinking like the Frenchman who planted those 28 magnificent live oak trees in oak alley was over 300 years ago. We don't even know his name or anything about him but he was the one who planned this:

    For the Blackhawks, the man that planted the trees was Dale Tallon.

    On a whim I looked it up and discovered that there is in fact an ice hockey league in Australia. The Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL) has matches in our summertime. It can be watched at

    https://aihl.tv/

    It is however a subscription streaming service and games are likely played in the morning our local time but it might be worth checking out for those of us who get the hockey Jones particularly bad.

    Preseason is on like Donkey Kong!

    Regular season is so close I can almost hear the Chiclets rattling.

    First game of the season and Kuch gets the first goal of it. Good start to the season for a team that should be down this year. They were hot in the preseason which they usually aren't.

    I'm optimistic!

    Bruins win home opener ..3-1 over Chicago...and also Celebrate 100 years as a organization.

    They brought out a lot of old Bruins...Orr ,Espo, Cheever’s, Hodge, Derek Sanderson, Buyck, Eddy Johnston...Grandsons of Dit Clapper...and Eddie Shore...was a good show.

    Bruins also brought back Milan Lucic....just to lay out Matt Thachuk in the playoffs.
