Behind Enemy Lines #1

By Nick Vucic; Jul 20, 05:58 AM

Well, it’s beginning to look a lot like hockey season…as long as you stay indoors, blast your ac to around 50 degrees, and ignore the fact that baseball is being played. This week, across the hockey-sphere, most NHL teams kicked off their prospect development camp and re-ignited the frenzy of emotions that come with the beginning of each hockey season. Unlike past seasons, I was not able to attend the Penguins development camp this year, but not because I had a scheduling conflict, but because recently I moved to the Washington, DC-Metro Area, home of the Washington Capitals.

“I’ve broken 19 bones, 23 scars on my face, broken these pinkies at least 4 times each, ran into a goalie for this one, I’ve broken my nose more times than I can ever remember, I cracked my cheekbone, I don’t know where that one’s from, I can’t remember, I got a skate that sliced right by my jugular.

What a fun Finals to watch. We had some low-scoring, close games and we had some high-scoring blowouts. Overall, I found the series to have a little bit of everything, which should have kept the casual fans and die-hards alike interested.
