Almost here.... 13 days until training camp!!!


According to my countdown clock, there are only 13 days and 20 some odd hours until the Preds hit the ice for the first on ice official training camp day. Saying I'm geeked is an understatement.

Just a few observations that prove hockey is coming fast...

  • Our pre-season tickets came in the mail giving us some tiny tangible object to show what that $1200+ taken out this summer was paying for.
  • Yahoo! opened its fantasy hockey section and pre-draft rankings are a much needed way to pass the slow hours at work. (btw, my boy ranked 190... 36th in D... so suck it!)

  • Kroger is actually selling a hockey magazine!

  • It was cool enough at the Blackman game last night to wear a hoodie and not look stupid doing it.

  • People at work are commenting that my "crazy days" are coming to an end.

On another note, my racing boys' chances are growing pretty slim at making the chase for the cup. :-( Probably the only thing that could help Mr. Kahne's cause would be for him to lead the most laps and winning after Bowyer and Hamlin crash into each other on the first lap... even then I'd be put in a conflicting position because my #2 would probably have to be involved in said crash for that to even work. Oh well... here's hoping that that little series of events plays out so my sexy number 9 can continue to compete.
