How much longer till the Penguins start the season?

by FrankD on Jul 10, 2008 8:47 AM EDT in News

That's what I was wondering this morning when I stumbled across LetsGoPens.com.

And then the realization hit when I saw the countdown in the upper-right corner of the screen:

86 days

Ouch.

Worst of all, it's sleepy time in the Penguins' camp. No training, skating, signing, fighting or frankly, living. We are now in the dead zone of the hockey season.

But you bet I'm staying on top of things regardless. If something's up on the site, rumored around the team or going on as we speak I'll get it up here.

Not Pens related . . .

But what’s with the Caps paying Federov $4million?? Are you kidding me??

2009, 1995, what’s the difference?

I’ve gotten over my issues with the way Federov left the Wings, so good for him, but he ain’t worth $4 mil any more, and probably hasn’t been for a few years.

Funny, consider the Devils were allegedly in talks with him.

86 days doesn't seem that long to me....

That’s partly because the Tigers have decided that they’ll actually wake up and try to win this season, and then there’s the “What will Michigan Football be like under Rich Rodriguez this year?” (and here’s a shout out to the Pitt Panthers for stoping the Mountaineers, and making him suddenly available to hire, as opposed to locked into a BCS Championship game), all that will keep me amused.

And besides, 86 days until the regular season, they probably start skating/preseason stuff in more like 6-8 weeks, right?

yeah fairly early on that stuff. Prospect camp is always fun.

Yeah, what was with the Tigers at the beginning of the season. They have a stacked lineup and some pretty damn good pitching . . . and they were sucking it up to start with. It looks like they finally decided to play a little.

On a side note, Verlander went to highschool about 10 miles from where I grew up.
