I think we are the third team to make significant changes to the jerseys. Washington now has a great jersey to go with their underachieving team. And Ottawa changed the Spartian to more more "serious" look, but for me, it looks like Jermaine from Flight of the Conchords put on a Spartian helmet and posed for the logo. Hope the Lightning come out with a good look, but even though the current jersey is a bit bland in my eyes, it's hard to change a look from a team that won the Cup in 04. Like everything else, cool duds or not, we'll deal with it and support our team. It does help to look good when beating the competition, though...

Congrats to Rob DiMaio for making the Stars scouting coaching staff. Even though you were not a Bolt for long, you will be remembered as a solid NHL player. Good luck in Dallas...

That's it for now. Mike13, love your enthusiasm! Have a great time at Icefest. I'm in NC, so will not make the trip, but will be in Seattle for the Bucs season opener. Go Bucs! For those fans of jersey changes, I think the Canucks are changing theirs again. Anyways, great summer to all and only 42 days until the regular season begins. In the meantime, GO BUCS!
