" All my life, I've wanted to make a great entrance."

Well Saturday night was the first chance I got to really sit down and watch some NHL hockey.   There I was, watching the Rangers opener, drinking a Leinenkugel Octoberfest and getting a foot rub from the wife.....Life is good.  :)

Speaking of the Rangers, nice debut by Derek Stepan with him notching a hat trick in his first NHL game.   While he has been a fan favorite here while playing at the UW, we still don't see him as a big scorer in the NHL....we're thinking around the 40-45 pt mark.   We would love for Derek to prove us wrong.  Congrats Derek.

We applaud the Kings for going with the throwback uniforms but we REALLY loved Jonathan Quick for the old school goalie pads!!!!    Well played, Jonathan!!

Nice......Very Nice.
