Just heard it on there right now. They cited seeing it on TSN, presumably the actual channel, because I can't find anything on TSN.ca.

I have this dream that they'd call it Olympia. Would be nice, but it'll never happen.

Performed live by the Zambonis for every game.

Oooh, oooh, is it a call-in show?

I totally forgot that the Rangers are still about a half million over the cap. Looks like someone's getting traded. Who's expendable on that roster?

Ditto, that annoyed the crap out of me, having to see that again and again. At least it wasn't Pronger - I have yet to actually see any footage of him hoisting the Cup and I'd like to keep it that way. Make it Zata hoisting the Cup and we're good.

Liked #5 myself. But personally, I just think they should license the . Even though it's about the Bruins, it's still a great hockey song.

Today's USA Today had an article discussing the whole idea of Stanley Cup winning teams suffering from a Stanley Cup hangover the following season and going over the elements of such a hangover. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/hockey/nhl/...-cup-jinx_N.htm However, Babcock had a couple quotes that made me think twice about that whole "reduced offseason time" for the team that wins the Cup being more of an excuse for an underperforming team rather than a genuine reason. Seven fewer days off this past offseason as compared to the offseason that was ultimately followed by our Cup win. That's not a big difference. Yes, those seven days contain the most grueling games of the playoffs, but it's still only seven days. The Ducks were prone to blame their poor performance during the season and playoffs on the Stanley Cup hangover (and oddly, not a finger to point at Niedermayer or Selanne). Babcock knows that's just an excuse. Personally, I think this team is good enough to repeat. And if it doesn't happen? I don't think it's some mythical Stanley Cup hangover. It'll have been that we simply didn't play good enough. Or that Dan O'Halloran was reffing crucial games...

Montreal defeats Toronto on Saturday.

Ah, almost forgot about the illustrious Weekend Picks. Thanks for taking these on again, Aussie. Friday: NY Islanders @ New Jersey Chicago @ NY Rangers Florida @ Carolina Montreal @ Buffalo Washington @ Atlanta Nashville @ St Louis Columbus @ Dallas Saturday: Montreal @ Toronto Detroit @ Ottawa St Louis @ NY Islanders NY Rangers @ Philadelphia Chicago @ Washington Atlanta @ Florida New Jersey @ Pittsburgh Carolina @ Tampa Bay Dallas @ Nashville Boston @ Minnesota Columbus @ Phoenix Los Angeles @ San Jose Vancouver @ Calgary Sunday: Phoenix @ Anaheim Colorado @ Edmonton San Jose @ Los Angeles

HAW! Because it's preseason, there's no official video review and since McCreary didn't see it go in, no goal!

That puck was CLEARLY in...why's it being disallowed? Ruff's pissed. Ken and Mickey have no idea why it was disallowed.

Mickey says that the FSN crew saw the footage and the puck was in, so it should be 1-0 Buffalo once they review it. And we'll get some time back on the clock too.

McCreary says no goal...?

GAH! I thought Mule had that one. Goalpost.

Homer off for interference.

4v4 upcoming, abbreviated PP for us.

Yeah, sounds like wires are crossed. Kind of like when I occasionally hear the Windows asterisk sound on Versus during games. Someone's got audio patched in where it shouldn't be.

Oh, sweet, I didn't realize this was on NHLN...no more streaming for me!

He was getting outworked all over the place and was getting all pissy throughout the game (or as Versus put it, "frustrated").

And the Pens score with under a second left. Sens win, 3-1.

VERMETTE ON THE BREAKAWAY! 3-0 SENS!

Heatley scores again. 2-0 Sens. Lovin' it.

Agreed. Unfortunately, another goaltending controversy for Ottawa... Versus: "Crosby Crosby Crosby...he's frustrated...Crosby Crosby Crosby..." Ah, it's good to be reminded why I hate these guys.

Heatley scores. Nice defense, Pens.
