My post at the Z

Let there be big hits...

Let there be teeth on the ice...

Let there be a huge scrum for Crosby...and let The Kid actually be worth the hype and make the future of the game look a little brighter...

Let Lord Stanley's Cup get the hell out of Tampa...and back to Denver, where it belongs...

Let Barry Melrose finally put away his golf clubs...

Let Roenick make more stupid statements to the press. Let Forsberg put that #21 back on. Let Yzerman, Shanny, and Sergei suffer minor injuries that interfere with their seasons...

Let Bertuzzi give me a reason to hate again...

Let me smile again at the irony of a game with a sweater reading SATAN 81 on it...even if he doesn't play for the Devils (which would be perfection...)

Let the occassional puck fly into the stands and smack a drunken frat boy in the mouth who probably had it comin' for treating his girlfriend like crap (saw it at a Gold Kings game once...priceless moment...)

Let us endeavor to insert invisible vowels in the names of players from Eastern Europe in an attempt to pronounce them...

Let EvilVixen come back from mothballs, and all our Lions posters put up a logo of a team that actually wins games...

Let there be some damn hockey again...
