We are truly in the dog days of an NHL summer. Players are uploading videos of themselves working out or getting together with teammates while fans are desperate for any kind of news regarding their team. The last thing the Montreal Canadiens did was extend Charles Hudon for a one-year $800,000 contract, and it looks as if that will be the final “major” thing to happen before training camp.
But it’s the summer when the divide between the everyday fan and the diehard fan is the most apparent. The diehard has spent a lot of time thinking about the team continuously going through various Capfriendly’s and Daily Faceoff line projections.
