I never wore socks when I played hockey, either. Same exact reason.

I thought Horton died in a car crash?

Jagr better Czech himself, before he wrecks himself.

Hextall now Assistant GM for Flyers. "To me, [Hextall] is probably the most highly thought-of guy in the League who is not a general manager," Holmgren said. "The fact that he was in the Los Angeles organization, you saw the success he had."

Did anyone figure out what the matter is with Hanada yet? Blue. Bruuuuuuue.

It sounded like he never really considered the KHL as an option until the lockout happened.

Myers is from Texas.

Probably just a combination of the concussions and that he has never met the expectations of his draft position. Maybe he has reached his ceiling; maybe he needs the right coaches and environment. If he is willing to take a one year two- way contract, why not?

Zigomanis! He's a vegan. Former Stanley Cup champion. Formerly posed nude for the interwebs.

I think he wasnt joking.

If he wants a one year deal? Sure. Why not.

Hopefully his players will be better at taking a pass this season.

The Devils have Lou Lamoriello. The Sabres have DR. The whole point is that the Devils will almost always be in a better position than the Sabres because Lou has a clue, and DR doesn't.

I'm just saying, the times that I've used a press pass, I've never seen anyone from hockeybuzz up there. Ghost, RCentered is correct. If you have an established blog, you can certainly request a press pass. I would see no reason why SabreSpace wouldn't meet requirements. The team can deny requests if all spots are already full, or if they need the slots for a nationally televised game. Chz is also correct that it is usually more fun to just watch in the normal seats, which is what I normally do. You don't get free food and drinks, but you get to relax and enjoy the game and show emotions.

Thank you for mentioning this. I'll have to check it out soon! If anyone here is ever near San Diego, the Chula Vista Nature Preserve is definitely worth checking out.

Was that the show with Chimaira? That was like 4-5 years ago...

Blogs have to pucker up to get press passes? Since when?

Donald Audette's SON??? My gosh, I must be old. I remember getting Audette's autograph when I was a kid and he was a prospect with Rochester.

Bloggers typically get access to press box, and the post-game interview room, not the locker room. Again, I've never seen anyone from hockeybuzz there, but I've seen members of most of the other notable blogs.

Because the press box has assigned seating for bloggers. The seating list, as well as each seat, shows the guest name, and what site/blog they are with.

NHL 94!!! http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/07/the-most-exciting-part-of-nhl-14-will-be-nhl-94-anniversary-mode/ I love how the opening of the video shows LaLaLa facing off against Hartford, then transforms into Hodgson, with Vanek and Ott on the wings.

Sounds like a local roofing company. I will just assume that is what it is.

Yes. It is the 2013 equivalent of those old "Free 30 Day Aol Trial" CDs.

Fine. Here is one, crisp, Internet dollar. We are now even. Spend it wisely.
