It has been 117 days.
That's 2,808 hours.
Or 168,480 minutes.
Or 10,108,800 seconds.
But today, the wait is over!
I have been waiting 117 days since Gary Bettman (BOO!!! HISS!!!) handed the Stanley Cup to LA Kings captain, Dustin Brown (BOO!!! HISS!!!).
One hundred and seventeen days since the puck hit the ice in a game that mattered.
But that ends tonight!
At 6:07 Central Time tonight, the puck will hit the ice at the Air Canada Centre (Centre rather than Center because it is in Canada, after all) and the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs will kick off the 2014-2015 NHL season. Just twenty-five hours later the action will be repeated at the Scottrade Center as the St. Louis Blues take the opening faceoff of what will certainly be their Stanley Cup winning season.
I have missed the sights and sounds of the greatest sport on Earth.
But that ends tonight!
Hockey's Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
