Some stuff on which to chew as we wait for Game 1 … Josh Thomson, 26, and I will be at practice today. I will do my series predictions and ask youse to do yours tomorrow. I have a big feature on Glen Sather and some other stuff coming Thursday, and also am planning to do a Live Chat Thursday at noon, before Josh and I do the whole nine yards from MSG.
Below is some pretty cool info on the just-completed season, courtesy of the NHL, including the fact that seven new teams made the playoffs this year, and thus seven teams from last year’s playoffs failed to qualify … and also that there will be a new Cup champion for the 16th consecutive season.
