Espo will tell all in a new book

Just when I thought that all we would be discussing would be non hockey issues, we get realHockey news. The acquisition of Chris Simon by Rangers president/GM and head coach Glen Sather has many of us redirecting our thoughts back to trying to decipher what the plan is. Personally, like Doug McKenzie of Bob and Doug fame.....my thought is simple, no sense steering now. What I mean by that is that I don't have the inside info needed to see and describe the Sather Plan. Yes, I think there is one....but I have not a clue as to what it is. So, I'll let others tell you what all this means, I'll just let it happen.

Lucky Luc is back with the Kings.....again. Three times a charm ?

Do you plan to go and see any pre-season Wolf*Pack games this year ? Here's the schedule.
