Yeah its always weird to see a team with a true history facing movement. Almost like if you won a few cups movement should be much harder.

And we are going to have a Donnybrook.... Great stuff...

The Stanley Cup is coming to my hometown on August 24th. I have to F'ing work. That would have been awesome b-day present to get my photo with the cup and goalie Tim Thomas. FML.

You sound like you are coming down with a cold....

I'll most likely be making it Andrew :-) I'll bring you chicken noodle soup :-)

Man I'd hate to have to burn some time off, but this is only 15 minutes from my house. Very tempting.

You live that close to Davison, MI?

I have prior engagements of things before work and work that day or I'd be all over this like white on rice. I heard no photo ops though. My brother and I used to play roller hockey and street hockey with Thomas growing up.

Yessir. I'm 5 miles south of Lapeer, just off M-24. No photo ops might seal it for me. That's relly my biggest motivation for going is to get my pic with the cup and possibly with Thomas.

I do agree that being disbanded is highly unlikely but if they move to Hamilton or Quebec it might as well be the same as far as I am concerned. The Isles are a strong young team just a few years out of Stanley Cup potential. Kind of like the Nords were when they got moved, Hmmmm! Milbury is still a douce!!

With training camp opening up in a few weeks, I am going to close this one up and start a new one.

Let's Go Hawks! :-)
