Around the NHL: Training Camps and Pre-Season Games

[Dubi Doo]

I just saw a random post on FB that claimed the Sabres are the least hated team on the NHL. My takeaway from that is, not a lot of Sabres fans voted in that poll.

Rough look for Ottawa losing both Tkachuk & Timmy

Looks like Tkachuk may have messed up a labrum on this play a few days ago -

Sounds like Chabot got hurt last night too. Way, way too many pre-season games, this is ridiculous.

It wasn't so much a joke rather an accurate observation...

Getting hurt in the regular season vs. getting hurt in a meaningless pre-season game? *shrug* I would rather they play 4-6 pre-season instead of 6-8 as the league mandate is now.
