What a great day!

Pick Larsson. Pick Larsson. Pick Larsson...

First off, Opening Night is on my Birthday again!!! And since it's a Saturday, I may able to make it home to see the game! (Hopefully, they won't disappoint me like last year...) Something worth noting, both of the road trips to Winnipeg (including one which is the first game of a home-and-home) come during Western road trips, so theat travel shouldn't be an issue.

Always loved logos with a little symbolism, so the "guitar pick" one gets an A+ from me. Also, I like the simpler color scheme.

Well, Ramsay is officially available. http://www.tsn.ca/returntowinnipeg/story/?id=369529

You can say that again! If he weren't a lefty, he would have never tasted the major leagues.

The official website is up. http://winnipeg.nhl.com/

I'm not sure how I feel about Lou coming out and saying they're working on a deal. It's good news, but Lou usually stays quiet and then unleashes his moves when the public least expects it.

I didn't get to watch the game, but the numbers were certainly very encouraging.

Here's something very intersting: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=6651634 I can't imagine that they would completely do away with divisions. Travel would be horrendous with how many games baseball teams play if the schedule is balanced. Also, I can't imagine MLB letting its rivalries go (i.e. why would they cut the amount of Yankees-Red Sox or Giants-Dodgers games?).

Yeah, I have to imagine tomorrow or Monday some one is getting plunked. It's getting pretty ridiculous with how many Yankees are getting hit lately.

Looks like we've seen the last of Joba Chamberlain until 2013 (MAYBE late next season). http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/news/story?id=6645446

Can we please beat the goddamn Red Sox!!! (and not give up the 3 runs in the first inning to start) This is getting very frustrating. No game is a must-win in June, but I'm gonna go ahead and say that tomorrow's game is right up there in importance.

LOL. How true...

Yanks-Sox tonight! Lester vs. Garcia. Probably no Posada or Gardner vs. a lefty. Go YANKS!!

What I find most interesting is that the pricing in the mezzanine on the "Devils shoot twice" will be priced differently than on the other side (one would think they would cost more.) I always thought it was weird that they were priced the same.

That's just insane.

Qusetion: By "Drive to 13,000," do they mean 13,000 FULL season ticket holders or 13,000 total season tickets between full season tickets and partial season plans? I ask because 13,000 full season tickets season like a pretty huge number, but if it's total then I find it hard to believe that they won't reach it.

This is both really cool and really depressing at the same time. The first thing I did when I heard was go to TSN and read all the celebration. The second thing was to go the Thrashers SBNation blog. Two sides to every story, I guess.

THAT... WOULD... BE... AWESOME!!!!

http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2011/5/24/2187886/nhl-salary-cap-2011-12-rise The Devils need as much room to work with as possible right now, so this is good news.

"Just a matter or time" now. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=366351 EDIT: Here's some interesting comments from current and former players: http://espn.go.com/blog/nhl/post/_/id/8276/players-support-winnipeg-getting-thrashers

Completely 100% agree with every part of this post. Colon was CRUISING, and Girardi pulls him in the 9th. Not that I don't trust Mo, I will trust Mo even if he blows every save for the rest of the season, but Colon had FOUR baserunners last night...

Comcast owns NBC. Comcast owns the Flyers. NBC broadcasts the Winter Classic. This will be the second time the Flyers are in the Winter Classic. Coincidence?

It's amazing just how incredibly deep that draft was.
