In the mailbag: How good are the Bruins?; Staal staying in New York?; Toronto's six defense; and THN.com breaking news.
How hyped are you the NHL season is almost upon us? Tragically under-hyped? Hyped to the allowable legal limit in your particular province/state? Super-hyped to the point you’re a danger to yourself and those around you? I’d put my own self somewhere between Column B and Column C.

In the mailbag: The Glen Sather nightmare; what to expect from Tampa; will any young Wings step up?; and Yanic Perreault.
We’re about a month away from the kickoff of NHL training camp season – and I’m totally stoked, because in less than two months, we’ll be as far away from watching and commenting on wretched, pointless pre-season hockey than at any other point in the year.

Salary bonuses and the cap... THN's poolbook... Satan inside a dressing room... Minnesota's extra forwards... and the Oilers.
This batch of asked and answered questions will be my last for a week, as I’m continuing to take small doses of vacation instead of one large absence.

Ask Adam: Movin' on up

by Adam Proteau - July 22, 2008 1:14 PM EDT

Considering a new city... Will Burnaby Joe come back?... Michael Ryder... Redden's contract... and forwards everywhere.
For me, one of the great things about a vacation is it usually leads to a nice drive along an Ontario highway where I can be alone with my thoughts and introspect for a few blissful hours.
