Description:
Huge hockey fan surfing from Texas! No, New Jersey didn’t turn me into a Devils fan. Sure, they’re good, but I was born in Texas. STARS FOREVER! Everybody that has or will play for the Stars is the best, can’t wait to see Austin Smith in the NHL, first Texas-trained player to be drafted! I’m also a musician, I play the guitar and the drums, a little bit of the bass, and some keyboard too. FRESH FROM THE ICE!!!! Where my blogs look cooler than they do here. http://freshfromtheice.blogspot.com/

Well...
...I am not sure how Fedotenko and Satan will do in Pittsburgh, but I hope they do well! I would like to see the Avalanche do well, too. I am still waiting for their training camp schedule to come out so I can plan to go. Are you planning to go to the Stars’ training camp?

Loving my Preds life. And I’m thanking the Hockey Gods for ridding us of Mason’s curse. I love Elli as our number one. And our backup is coming up from the AHL. Pekka Rinne. Should be great.
I think Radulov is in some deep trouble. Here’s an article:
On July 11, 2008, it was announced that although Radulov was still under contract with the Nashville Predators for one more season, he had signed a three-year deal with Salavat Yulaev Ufa of the Kontinental Hockey League. Radulov had previously notified the Predators organization of his desire to play in Russia, stating that he was being offered better conditions. Immediately after the announcement, the Predators, NHL and IIHF all released statements emphasizing that Radulov’s contract obligated him to the Predators through the 2008-09 season and that signing with a team in Russia was a direct violation of an agreement made the previous day between the NHL and all international hockey leagues to respect players’ existing contracts. After the IIHF ordered that Ufa void Radulov’s contract, Ilya Kochevrin, vice-president of the KHL, argued that Radulov was signed on July 5, before the agreement was made on July 10. While the contract remains disputed, the IIHF suspended Radulov from international play on July 18, as investigations continue.
He still has another year here. He has to stay, at least I think he will.
