Oh man, you know it's slow when the only real story I can cover is a roster switch for Team Canada for the upcoming World Cup of Hockey.

This does serve as a reminder that we will at the very least get some hockey. However, this may just be a tease and when the lockout occurs we will be even more pissed.

Since there is little in the way of news here are a few older links on stuff you may not have read:

Stan Fischler from July 6th.

Sportsnet.ca on the Conroy signing - There is your answer, and to that end the root of the problem that precludes this fall's showdown over the CBA.

Finally, the Rodent has word on Jagr and his groin.
